LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dees This Seem Rightf

Mir. Editor; The Norwich Gas and Electric Commission, 1t has been stated, is opposed to the proposed amendment to the state public utility law.
 In the abstracts from Chapter 30, Sec ton 502 to 5ee and Section 3s2o to 2S4s, can find nothing the commission can object to, provided their accounts are kept accurately.
 I should think it would be to our in- teresu to have our plant put under the supervision of the public utilities com mission, So that the citizens of Norwich would have a neutral party to appeal to to in case of any complaint in cgard 10 service rates, meter charges or any other complaint where now the on.y persons they can appeal Is to the commission wEc regulates the charges. Does this seem tight?

FARMERS JOIN
TO MARKET GRAIN
Cooperative Agency Repre-
sents % States.

CHICAGO, April S-The first coopera-
tive agency for the marketing Of the
Nations grain crop has been definitely
launched today with the adoption by
delegates from twenty three States of a
report by the committee of seventeen
recommending the establishment Of a
farmers grain marketing organization.
The organization is to be known as the
United States Grain Growers, Inc.
All farmers who pay an annual fee Of
$40 each will have the optional right Of
marketing their crops through the CO.
operative organization. At the end Of
the year a balance will be struck and
all funds not needed for expenses will
be returned to the farmers, pro rata.
The organization proposes to build It's
own elevators and terminal warehouses
and will establish its own market news
service. A general headquarters will be
maintained with branches at central
points throughout the grain growing dis
tricts. A board of twenty -one directors
will be chosen later to conduct the organ
ization's affairs.
Amendments to the plan which would
have provided for compulsory pooling Of
corn and wheat were voted down after
a spirited debate and the report of the
committee Of seventeen, composed of rep
resentatives of various farmers organiza-
lions, was adopted unanimously.
Grain exchanges and boards of trade
were bitterly attacked by several dele
gates.
