| Title | K. C. Awaits the Barges: New Missouri Waterway Won't Starve for Freight, Won't Get Fat Either. .. |
| Abstract | Article about the barge commerce of Kansas City on the Missouri River. Describes competition with railroads for freight, actual freight rate changes in recent years, and specific industries and companies most affected by the "recently completed 6-foot channel of the Missouri River." |
| Notes | The major industries of Kansas City are livestock-packing, railroads, and grain-milling. The first two can be scratched off the list of waterway supporters. The only important potential water freight produced in the Missouri Valley is grain. |
