Ship ready to load wheat at Portland, Oregon

Image Description: "Here is an ocean steamship at a Portland wharf ready to load a cargo of wheat. Comparing the three major wheat export districts of the United States over a period of seven years, 1925 to 1931, inclusive, Portland ranks second each year with the exception of 1927 when she placed first. That puts Portland first as a wheat port on the Pacific Coast and second in the United States."
