whereby the United States Grain
Growers, Inc4 an organization of
farmers engaged in cooperative
marketing, can obtain control and
ultimate possession of the Armour
Grain Company. with it's entire or

sonnel, has been suggested by
Bernard NJ. Baruch and is being con-
sflered by Ogden Armour. head of
the organization. and it's president,
George L. Marcy.
Premature publication of his idea
led Mr.. Baruch last night to issue a.
Statement making it clear that his
program has only been suggested by
him as a. private individual without
authority and is still in that stage.
He made public d letter he wrote to
an agricultural senator" outlining
his views.
Upon Mr.. Armour's suggestion, the
letter continued. Mr.. Baruch took up
the Idea with Mr.. Marcy. Mr.. Marcy
seemed to be captured by the idea"
and remarking that he has only four
or five years more to work. he said.
he would like to devote that period
to public enterprise of this sort
and make ii the capstone of his
career"
Regarding his plan for financing
the deal, Mr.. Baruch wrote:
Enough farmers would be asked to
subscribe an amount sufficient to
make d large part payment. the bal
ance to be paid out of the cost of
handling grain. The farmers would
receive a certificate of interest for
their original subscriptions and for
the profits made out of their grain
until the profits had paid for the
purchase.
Mr.. Marcy would direct the or
ganization for five years and by that
time executives could be trained to 60
on with the work"
