The only obstruction to universally
installed individual waterpower plants
on the farm Is that not every farm Is
blessed with running water to furnish
the power. But there are thousands of
farms in the United States which
have running water that can be har-
messed and made to work.
The government has been taking a
census of the available water power
in the union, and report will be is
sued in the course of few months
