The announcement that two million bushels of Saskatchewan wheat, representing the first commercial shipment over the Hudson Bay route was welcomed by Saskatchewan Pool Elevators Limited. They will be respomsible for shipment to the Dominion Government terminal elevator at Churchill, where the grain will be loaded onto boats enroute for England. There has been renewed activity in the Canadian National Railway terminal here. Up to Monday of this week a total of 290 cars containing wheat enroute to Churchill have passed through Humboldt, going north over the Humboldt Melfort line.

The first wheat grown locally destined for Churchill was shipped from Dixon siding, just west of Humboldt

A total of two million bushels has been purchased from the Wheat Pool organization by the Continental Grain Company of New York.

The grain is being drawn from several hundred Canadian National Railway points in Northern Saskatchewan stretching across the province almost to the Alberta boundary.

The farmers of this province have always strongly favored the development of the Hudson Bay railway as an export grain route, and a basic Saskatchewan farmers' organization has been entrusted to supply the grain for the first commercial shipment.
