CLUB NOTES

An attendance of sixty members at
the Belmont meeting of the Home
keepers club Of the Women's Civic
league Saturday at Grand Forks gave
the promoters even more encourage
ment for the continuation of their
goo work and the welfare committee
will strive to have something new
and attractive at their gathering. 1t
has been decided to hold the meet
ings alternately at the Belmont and
Central schools during the lessons on
domestic science so that both Miss
Sutherland and her assistant, Miss
Florence Opsahl, may be present to
give the demonstrations. Miss Suth-
erland's demonstration yesterday was
on egg omelets and she preceded it
with a most interesting and valuable
talk on The Food Value of Eggs.
During the practical lesson twenty or
more of the women took part in the
preparation of the omelets, following
the directions of Misses Sutherland
and Opsahl, and when completed the
delicious dish was served piping hot
with buttered toast. Miss Bertha
Erdmann also gave another OF her
splendid and valuable talks on per-
sonal hygiene and Miss whitley.
principal Of the Belmont school, opened
the meeting with a few words on the
importance of the club. The mem
bers arrived early enough yesterday
to enjoy an inspection of the Belmont
building and were received at the
doors by a group of eighth grade
girls who escorted them through the
building. In the manual training de-
partment four boys were in charge.
and the hostesses who assisted Mrs.
G. p. Brawner, who had charge of
the meeting, were Mrs. A. /. Hunter
and Mrs. Scott Rex.

quality is rgidly maintained, is evidence that
there must be advantages in using electricity in
such installation.
THE total acreage of the farm is nearly
1900, and at present about 20 per cent is under
cultivation. Electricity is generated by steam
power and distributed at 900 volts. The gener-
ating equipment at present consists of one 20
klowatt direct connected unit, steam boiler, etc.
This is not a large generating plant to be
sure, but 1t insures cleanliness of lighting equip
ment and safety from fire risk in the barns,
bunk, houses and outbuildlngs. 1t also makes
possible a convenient source of power in any
part of the farms outbuildings, which of
essty widely distributed, and cost of gen.
Grating the current, including interest and de.
probation charges, is probably not over four
cents a kilowatt hour
Scientific milk production is more and
more coming into prominence and the necessity
for perfect cleanliness, immediate cooling and
keeping the milk at low temperature compels
such dairy farmers to adopt devices that will
be most helpful in obtaining these results. There
is milk dairy in Morristown, n j.. where the
walls. ceilings and 1oorS of all rooms in which
the milk is handled are washed down daily, both
morning and evening-the electric lighting FIX
lures being entirely water tight.
"Dairying and stock raising are usually fol-
lowed where land needs upbuidng in fertility,
and in either the silo is a necessity, cutting up
succuent forage crops and storing them in the
silo for later being the accepted method OF
preparing the feed. To do this the farmer must
have power but ten horsepower electric
tor with It's capacity for momentary overload
will do the work that would stall gasoline en-
gine rated at twelve to fifteen horsepower.
"The farmer can easily recognize the advan-
tage Of the electric motor for this operation and

nearby mountains.
"on the majority Of these farms irrigation is
practiced and quite naturally electricity first
made use of for pumping purposes. Then under
the influence of progressive local central station
operators, it almost universally adopted for
light
Il recall seeing electric lights and the
electric hatiron in use in the farm home the
Pacific coast eleven years ago. The people were
content to enjoy the advantages which these
improvements made possible to them, but did
not seem to regard their conditions as unusual.
Their farms were in fact electric farms and their
industries, dependent upon the produce of the
land, were as they now practically all oper-
ated by electricity.
"A brief summary OF the work accom-
plished shows that construction is under way or
has been completed twenty-nne projects, in
volving expenditure of $65470,000 In the
eight years of actual work there have been dug
1000 miles Of canals and more than nineteen
miles of tunnels mostly excavated through
mountains. The total excavation of rock and
earth amounts to 100000 cubic yards There
have been built $40 miles of roads, 100 hiles
OF telephones, and there are in operation
275 miles Of transmission lines over which sur
plus power and light are furnished to several
cities and towns
THE small farms and villages grouped about
these developments give the effect of suburban
rather than rural conditions. The cheap power
developed from the great dams or from numer-
the operation Of trolley lines which reach out
into the rural districts bringing the farmer in
closer touch with the city. 1t runs numerous
industrial plants for storing, handling and manu-
featuring the raw products of the farm. The
same power is used for lighting and heating In
the towns, and for cooking in the homes, On
several Of the projects the farmers are applying
for electrical power. and In many farm houses
electric power is utilized for many domestic pur-
poses
More than a million dollars has been invest
ed In the development of power the Salt
River project, of which the farmers have volun-
tarily raised 100000. The sale of the power up
10 the beginning OF the present year amounted
TO $4,000. with the plant only partially con-
structed. This revenue will contribute material
