The New York Herald, the Ne’ Yoi-k Times, many of the other leac ing newspapers of the country an several of the big magazines arc d< voting columns of editorial commer to the burning of corn as fuel by th O’Neill electric light, power and hea' lng plant. The New York Herald in column editorial says that about 2 million bushels of corn will be bume this year as fuel in the United Statt and it quotes 'engineers to the effe< that it is a moro satisfactory fu than some grades of steam coal. Th Herald, however, as do most of tl other publications, deplores the use ( com as fuel as an economic wast All of the writers on the subjec either intentionally or otherwise, ij nore the real reason for the use < corn as fuel at this time. Hig freight rates alone are responsibl / High freight rates on coal make it an expensive fuel. High freight rates prevent the shipment of corn at a profit. With lower freight rates both ■ coal and com would move. Until the rates are lowered the railroads will continue to lose both the freight rate oh a ton of coal and the freight rate on a ton of corn where com is burned. For every ton of corn that is burned it is estimated that the railroads lose about $12 of freight Income, on the basis of the present rates. If 25 million bushels of com are burned this year the loss to the railroads in freight charges will amount to ap proximately $10,345,828.00, as ear com runs about 29 bushels to the ton.
