Letters of inquiry regarding the
merits of corn as fuel, and also ask
ing prices on corn in carload lots are
being received by the electric light
and power company from foreign
countries since the publication of the
company’s experiment in using corn
for fuel. One letter was received this
week from Mexico, another from
Canadg and still another from South
America. In each it is stated that the
community in which the writer re
sides is in need of corn and prices are
asked for. To date the company hau
received more than three hundred let
ters and telegrams, most of them from
persons wanting to purchase corn. A
properly directed selling campaign by
commercial clubs of the towns in the
corn belt undoubtedly would develop
a vast market direct from producer
to consumer and at a healthy price, if
these inquiries may be taken as an In
dication of the demand. This demand
at present is supplied by the large
grain operators at big prices, after the
! reducer has been robbed of his crop
at prices less than the cost of pro
duction.
