COSTS LESS TO GET
INDIANA MEMBERSHIPS

Indiana membership solicitors for
the United States Grain Growers, the
farmers cooperative grain marketing
corporation, have secured members at
lower cost than in any state yet work
ed, according to a report compiled by
William Eckhardt, treasurer.
Members contracts in Indiana have
been signed at cost Of only SAT- as
compared with $3.50 for Nebraska,
s637 for Missouri, $3.50 for North Da-
kota, $6.58 for Iowa, and SIP for Illi-
nois. The cost for Illinois is made
larger than usual by the fact that the
hardest campaign against the farmers
plan was waged in that state.
Gross receipts are exceeding ex-
penses by a constantly growing sum,
says the treasurer's report, and it is
understood that debts contracted early
in the organization work are now be-
ing paid off.
In Wayne county, Center, Boston,
Arlington and Washington townships
have been solicited with work now pro-
ceeding in Wayne township. Meetings
for explanation of the plan and intro
ductory to the organization campaigns
are to be held in Economy Friday
night and in Fountain City on Mon.
