"One Man Ele
For S
Expert From West Describes Syatei
cusses Problem of Marketing
A somewhat definite and apparently
practical plan for grain ctevatora for
this State has been submitted to the
State department of agriculture, com
merce and industries by J. Cooper
Strattan, representing the Burrell En
gineering and Construction company
Chicago. Mr. Strattan's plan ls
interesting mainly in the feature of
"one man elevator," a plant to cost
between $2,000 and $4,0000, which may
ho operated and conducted by one
man.
Mr. Strattan doctored that if thc
farmers are in earnest about this mat
ter of diversifying crops bc can help
them to institute a system of grain
elevators, and without elevators it
would he useless to go into the busi
ness of producing more grain than
can bc consumed in the immediate
vicinity. The first step will be for the
farmers to Eign an agreement to plant
grain in sufficient quanUty to supply
an elevator, perhaps on thc basis of
100,000 bushels a year to each "one
man elevator."
Then if the site for the elevator can
he secured Mr. Strattan ls willing to
lend his services in the matter of
financing the proposition. Some '-ocal
capital will be needed of course, but1
he thinks that he can Interest outside
capital whenever the local people
manifest a sufllcient amount of in
terest.
The "one man elevator" would be n
small station, where the farmers of a
small community would bring their
grain for sale. It would be taken In
and weighed and dumped Into a pit
and then perhaps graded. The bocal
elevator man buys the grain, loads lt
and uses the bills of lading for col
latea!. Tho grain ts Mien shipped to
a terminal elevator, or open market
The terminal elevator is a much larg
er plant; located In some central
point,' in carload lots and the mana
ge i vii the terminal ls In direct com
munication with the Eastern market
a;.d can - .'.(?'poso of the galil to be?!
advantage. The grain ia inspected
and sacked 'at tbc terminals.
Cost of Elevator.
Tho cost of a "one man elevator" is
from SJ.OiU) upwards, snd it bas sto -
agc capacity of four or five.cars, whlcn
ts sufficient, "tts the .gralr. is moved
immediately from such a plant to
the terni.nt>l, where there is a much
larger sterago'capacity. The grain is
usually :cVancd and graded after ho
ing brought to the terminal, for tba
mst of ibo additional machinery is
Ouch as to make it unwise to do the
cleaning and grading at the smaller
plant.
'J ?IC terminal can be built at a cont
of from .?l?.OOO upwards, 2?r. Strat
tan toys that lt is possible to use the
same motive power fora terminal that
is used in a ginnery; tn other words,
to have the elevator on an adjoining
lot, but ho recommends a separate
institution and corporation.
These warehouses and elevators can
be built of frame material or of con
er,,'.e, and are rat proof, fireproof and
almost damp-proof. Mr. Strattan has
a photograph showing one of their
plants at Columbus, Ga., untouched
by effect bf the flames, while other
buildings surrounding were '? destroy
od.
Thc smaller elevator, designed es
pecially for rural communities, con
sists of an office, a weighing shed, un
der which is the pit into which tho
grain Ja dumped without any shovel
ing. It costa lees than 1 cent a bush
el td handle the gram in the eleva
tor and it enhances. tho .value from
2 to 6 cents a bushel, as shown by the
actual figures. Prom the pit the
grain la drawn into the elevator,
whence it is "spouted" into respective
bins.
"When the State curtails tho pro
duction of cotton, lt must have some
thing else," said Mr. Strattan, and we
Hav? watched the proposition for the
last four or five years and we know
that In South Carolina caa be pro
duced as much grain per acre as on |
the plains of the Middle West, ?where
lt la reputed that wo produce 100
bushels per acre, but I think 75 bush
els ls a fair average.
"And the wonderful part about tho
South is that you can. produce 50 to
70 bushels per acre in the spring,
and then In the fall on the same piece
Ot land you can produce a big crop
of" corn."
*" Mr. Strattan criticises the method
ot farming in the South and said that
the ' farmers had novar gone deep
enough Into the soil, sad that if they
wish to plant grain successfully they
must break up the soil to a considor
. able depth.
Tho grain elevators are for the col
lecting and storing of cora as well es
oats, wheat and other small grain.
Mr. Strattan after getting favorable
attention from Commissioner Watson,
16ft for Hartsville to confer with D.
R. Coker, the well known seedman
and sciontisl ot the Pee Bee, and he
will also go to Anderson, where
will ?have a conference with Pwier
Whalley, secretary of the Chamber
Commerce of that city, who recently,
in connection with Forman Smith,
seedman. had a most successful grain
show.
Central Point*.
Wails Mr. Strattan declared, that it
would be possible to operate success-,
f uuy a number of small elevators scat- <?

threshing machines, but there could
be a thresher for each community.
' Mr. Strattan declared that lt was of
thc greatest importance, however, to
have the elevators placed under a
strict system o finspection from thc
Stato department of agriculture, so
that the weights and measures would
be agreeable and lair to the pro
ducers. Much depends upon the man
ner in which the venture gets started,
and if there were any complaint at
all H would be aa injurious to this
really gnat movement as waa the
attempt to produce tobacco in the
Piedmont section of the State. It is
his suggestion that the gram be
shipped loose from the small ware
houses to the terminals and at the
latter places properly cleaned, graded
and sacked.
Mr. Strattan has expressed his will
ingness to come to South Carolina
and to explain to the people the
workings of the elevator syBtem. He
thinks that the manager of the ele-*
vator could also bo the receiving
agent for eggs, pjultry and other pro
duco for the farm and thereby give
encouragement to the farmers to pro
duce moro things to sell. There has
not been any question as to what thc
South can produce. The great prob
lem bas been a means of marketing,
and he believes that the community
grain elevator would answer that
purpose.
To Help Farmers.
Commenting upon tho tentative
plans for a chidn of grain elevators
in this State, as outlined by J. Cooper
Strattan, Commissioner Watson said
yesterday that while the department
af agriculture does not wish to prefer
ano to another in a matter of thia
kind, yet as this is the only proposi
tion of its kind before the people, he
considers it worthy of indorsement
While Commissioner Watson would as
readily give official sanction to any
)ther proposition that is offered by
reputable people to help the State, yet
le-considers that the Burrell Engi
leerlng and Construction Company of
Chicago has come into the Stato at
he psychological moment and if thc
people of tho State will seize the op
portunity, lt will mean the revolu
tionising of tho plan of agriculture of
thia State ani the pouring of great
wealth into the pockets of tbe farm
??ra.
"Wo have been accustomed,'' said
[mmmissi?her Watson, "to think of a
;rain elevator "as of some tremendous
lilant, costing many thousands of
lollara, which could be constructed
rwned and operated by largo corpora
Lions alone. But the firm of West
?rn experts in building grain eleva
tors bas Indicated clearly that a few
farmers in earnest in this great crisis
nay organize and build and conduct
i small local elevator at a cost of
iround $2,000. And there could be
milt In Eonie of tho railroad centers
>f tho State terminal warehouses for
the receiving and transferring and
Jispatehing of grain to tho greater
Markets. I see in this proposition a
?rreat development and a future por
tentous with success and with wealth,
l urge the people ot the State to plant
is much grain as possible and to
make it worth while to engage in tbe
grain handling business. Elevators
may not pay for tho first year, al
though some have been known to pay
Dig dividends from tito first yoar, and
greater In the succeeding yeera
"If there is a curtailment of tho
xitton crop, aa there ls sure xo bo, for
tbe common aense of the people will
iictate lt whether the legislature or
lers it or not, there must be some
substitute. We have not tho milling
facilities for manufacturing to any
axtent and I suggest that tho people
it tho Stato should give careful con
sideration to the plan offered by Mr..
Strattan, for he may bo alie to aa-:
?int persons really and dioply intor
eetcd to tho extent of socnrlng loans
to aid In Che construction of the
plants."
Blessing In BfefTwJse.
Commissioner Watson said that he
considered tho present economical
Brids a great blessing In disguise.
P?r years he has been urging the peo
ple to get away from cotton and it
soems, he said, tbat nothing short
ot disaster; has cauaed them to
-oallte the perilousness of their coa
lition.
*It the people of the country only
realised the difference between fjouth
orn grain ?nd western grain." said
Commissioner Watson, "the South
weald be accepted as the greatest
grain producing section ot the United
States. Our investigations 1 have
shown conclusively that the Bouthern
corn has'nothing like the content bf
moisture that is found in tho wes
tern obre and for that reason lt hr
less susceptible to becoming spoil
ed and dangerous for food.
"Last winter our investigations
showed al&o that the Southern wheat
is-far superior to that or tba Wast,'
.Vis an actual fact that our standards,
based upon the quality of Southern
wheat, had to be reduced la*t winter
ta order to permit the prod acts of the
hard wheat of the West to come Into
this State. There lo nothing like the
nutrition and sweetness of the South
ern wheat to be found in the wheat
products that we get from the Mid
dle West.
"The South ls by nature, the groin
airy Sf thia country and the natural
pasture. Our mads have become cor
roded by neglect where the pastures
and ? ranges should be supporting
thousands of head of cattle, and I
hopo that this present year emer
gency will ?tart the people et tho
South ?pea a new ?cd practical and

' THE TOWN PUMP. o

A good place to feol thc pulse of

life, as lt quenches its thirst at the
public fountain gives us an estimate
of the wealth, population and pros

acter, habits and occupations of its

hardships of its citizens. There Is
no better place to study tho pfbgrcss

Every village In 3outh Carolina
should have a town pump and every
