Attorney John Daily, who argued first for the city, recited the details | of the litigation, dwelling prin-| cipally on the contention that in| 1914, when Huntington was granted power to improve the light plant by the Public Service Commission, it specifically reserved the right to] enter the private power field.

CUTIN COTY GRAIN ACREAGE RECOMMENDED

Agricultural Planning Body Issues Report After Soil Conference.

Too much grain is being grown on Marion County farms, the Coun- | ty Agriculture Planning Committee |

decided today. In a report issued following a special conference on soil conservation in the Courthouse yesterday, the committee recommended acreage reductions in corn, oats and wheat. The committee reported that 30 per cent of Marion County farm land was planted in corn during 1935 and 23 per cent was in wheat and oats. The group recommended the corn percentage be reduced to 25 per cent and the other grains to 18 per cent. This would leave more land available for soil conservation crops such as alfalfa and for pasturage. The committee announced it would meet in February to set up definite principles for a county program of soil conservation in 1937. Members of the committee are: Herman Snyder, Pike Township; Fred King, Howard Johnson and Albert Steinmeier, Washington Township; Russell Hutchinson, Ralph Ruschhaupt and William Schilling, Franklin Township; Walter Stoner and Walter Borbour, Lawrence Township; Anton Ploenges, Warren Township; Horace Lynn and Oscar Blank, Wayne Township; Howard Mills, Decatur Township, and Raymond Hardin.
