.5o.A bushels. The final yield of
Burnley tobacco is reported as
65s pounds an acre. AS there
was an acreage of approximately
$4,000, this would indicate that
the Burley crop Of Kentucky
would be iis,ooo,ooo pounds.
The final yield Of dark tobacco
is 500 pounds an acre, and with
an acreage Of approximately $780,

Points in Actual Practice.
Electric power may be used at any
point desired in all sorts OF hooks

Keokuk today has a $25,000,000a
hvdro.electric plant which will sup
mort a population Of more than one
million people. The great engineer
inc masterpiece is locked In the bed
rock bottom OF the mighty Mississip-
nj river at Keokuk's very door, in the
heart Of the fertile Mississippi valley.
It is the greatest engineering feat of
ia kind. 1t was as means to this
end OF furnishing cheap power that
the dam and power plant were built.
The result is that Keokuk has now
become the producing center OF an
immense quantity of cheap power to
change the industrial map Of the
United States. A careful study OF
the matter Of power production and
consumption will show that hundreds
at factories should, in the ordinary
course OF events OF this character,
be brought to Keokuk and the imme-
date vicinity in the power zone 10
consume this output OF electric ener
ey. And Keokuk should be the point
where large portion OF the power
is consumed.
Factors OF Cost.
Factory cost includes labor cost
and machinery expense. 1t is pretty
generally conceded today that labor
cost can be lessened only by the In.
PRODUCTION OF more machinery along
the lines which have been inevitable
and which have been followed during
the last half century.
Hence, any decrease In labor cost
leads us to machinery and power,
and the necessary conclusion is that
the key to cheapening factory cost
today is cheaper power to move ma
chinery which will replace muscle
power.
All movements for industrial econ
omy tend towards cheaper power
than given factory Is now using
In other words, manufacturing must
either stand still or obtain cheaper
power than 1t has succeeded In OBJ
tanning for the last several decades.
This is one of the reasons why the
flinging OF an immense quantity O
cheap power into Keokuk has such
great potentiality and an Importance
that no other city in the country has
ever before been able to realize from
the happening Of single event.
Cheap Power Drawing Card.
1t is true today that the United
States is growing richer every yea
because Of It's agriculture, but this i
not because more men are going int
farming, but because experts, b.
their experiments are teaching tn
farmer now engaged in this pursui
how to get more out of his land
The other great source of wealtl
of the country is increasing along
different line. Factories are befn
multiplied; more men are being 81,

distance along one of the transmits
/ sion lines.
But ii all other things are equal, or
nearly equal, the thing for the manu-,
4 facturer to do is to locate just as
near the power house as he can and
thus secure the additional advantage
| Of buying the cheapest power the
company is to furnish
Naturally there is some cost at
! tached to carrying the power to a
considerable distance and the eco
nomics of electric power require that
! the factory be within a reasonable
/ distance of the electric generators
This is something big for Keokuk to
emphasize.
Many Service Advantages.
The manufacturer locating in Keo-
! kuk has advantages of much prac-
! tical value in addition to the cheap,
ness Of the power used.
His equipment for using electricity
as motive power costs him much less
4 than the equipment necessary for the
use of steam power.
i Additional machinery may be ener-
/ gized at any time by simply adding
a motor to the equipment, while to
i materially increase the size of g
i steam plant is very costly proceed,
lure often involving the scrapping of
a plant otherwise in good condition.
i The entire engineer room force
may be dispensed with with conse,
i quent saving of much money every
year.
Temporary stoppages automatically
stop power cost at the same instant
that the machinery ceases to move
while with steam power they mean
banked fires, skilled attention in the
i, engine room, and much loss of fuel
without any commensurate return.
Safety in operation in factory is Of
! much Importance to the employer as
we'll as to the wage Garner. Electric
power is the safest power, not only
from the absence of shafting ant
gears for transmission. but also be
. cause of the inherent safeguards II
all electric power installation.
Saving Money in Maintenance.
Perhaps the economy in electric
power most apparent to the man Civ
4 ing even a glance at the subject j!
! that only the power actually used a
: the machine is paid for. With steam
lines of shafting and more or les
l gearing, with large friction losses
must be moved all the time, ever
{ if only one small machine on tina
? floor be in use. With electric powe
!. only the machine in use is consum
= ing power current and costing any
thing.
Present day practice shows tina
I the electric motor has better dc
! pendability than steam engine al
fords-that stoppages from break
> downs are more apt to occur and I
: last longer when steam engines ar
9 used than when electric motors ar
depended upon. The maintenance
9 and repairs for electric power motor
is much less than is required to kee
q steam engine equipment in goo
{ working order.
. Points In Actual Practice.

and corners of the factory, and 1t
may be turned off or on from the ma
chine Or any point in the building by
the location of the switches. The
same output may be obtained from a
smaller floor space.
In case of breakdown, only one
unit will be out of commission, while
a breakdown in steam driven plant
generally PARALLELS considerable
portion of the factory.
There is less risk of fire in elec>
trio driven factories, and entire a5-
sence of any chance of loss of time
on account Of trouble in the coal
, mines and ON the coal roads.
!, All these things and many others
are the advantages that were un-
thought of decade or two ago when
cities were spending money in adver-
Using as excellent locations for new
industries.
Power Big Talking Point.
With the immense quantity OF
cheap and everlasting power, the big
dam has given Keokuk something
4 that Is really big to talk about. AZ
result the organizations which are
doing the boosting in keokuk are
working with constantly decreasing
noise and increasing sense. 1t is es
sential in these days of striving for
new industries that city has some
real advantage. Keokuk can go forth
and proclaim to the world that she
has big proposition to offer and il
is only natural that manufacturers
should come here to look into 1t.
/! But not only is the power now furn
ished by the power company espe
ciallly adaptable to the use of manu-
ufacturing concerns which are beck
oned hither, but it has already be
4 gun to play another prominent par
in it's usefulness hereabouts. In thu
=; past the question of operating publ,
4 utilities in small towns and the small
err class cities has been sore prob

electric lighting for the homes a
well as the streets, have tested thu
ingenuity of public utility men. TIL

an awakening in this field, and mucl

Electric power for public utilize

en- employment; the output is being
greatly increased.
And SO we see that, inasmuch as
there seems to be readiness to step
into the manufacturing game, cheap
power is going to be great factor
as drawing card.
AS the man finds no place for him
self on the farm it is necessary for
him to step into the manufacturing
business, and all favorable conditions
which he finds will help his cause
just that much.
keokuk Has Corner Stone.
The very increase in manufactur.
ing involves larger number of com
petitors In the manufacturing field.
Competition compels lower factory
cost; and probably the reduction OF
factory cost to the minimum is being
given more attention today than any
other part of the rather complex IN
dustries Of the country.
But the pruning Of factory cost has
reached the stage where the only
things which may be shaved thinner
are the labor account and the power
account. There is no practical hope
of reducing the wages in this country
and the only way to lessen labor cost
is to increase the productivity O
labor by the use of machines which
are run by power
We are again downsto the bash
