CONNEAUT. o., Jan. 24.-Thou-
sands OF more employees OF the United
States corporation will this year have
an opportunity TO reduce the cost
OF living at the expense OF the com
pany as result of the enlargement
by several thousand actes OF the CON-
pany's 5000 acres cooperative farm
near here. The purchase OF the addi-
ton became known today. With a
view OF erecting plant the original
tract was purchased over decade
ago but that project was abandoned
and year ago IL was turned into a
huge farm as an experiment
The project has proven so success
full. company officials say. that this
year 1t was decided TO enlarge the
farm and extend the variety OF its
products.
Last summer the farm produced an
immense crop OF potatoes which were
sold to company employees on lake
frcighters at nearly half the market
price. This year employees OF mills In
the central states will also be given
an opportunity TO purchase the farm
products.
