Not many years ago, when the value of farm land was not so high as It IS today. the farmer found it compara- lively easy to raise sufficient crops to pay him for the money invested.
 This condition has changed, ana the farmer of today must recognize farm- ing as business, and place It upon all efficient basis, in order to raise suI- ficient crops to make farming pay ing investment.
 This is exectfy what is taking place and one of the big factors in placing farming on an efficient basis Is the use of electric light and power Over 50,o0o In Use Over 5O. 900 of one particular kind ot l light and power plants are III use to- | day on the farms of United States ana | Canada. They are saving time for the farmer and his family. In many cases they are pumping water for him. operating the churn, cream separator making his chores easy and in many ways saving time and labor.
 It's a great day for the farmer and his family when they can press, for the first time, an electric button in thelr own home.
 It's a great day, for it marks the be- ginning of a new life for them-it means that the drudgery, the nara ships and the burdens that nave marred and shadoWed ther lives nave been removed. Yes, it means more
 than that, for it makes possible the
 eniovmeut of new comforts and new conveniences Press Button; Farmer Smiles 5 Can YOU not see the farmer smile as , he presses the electric button when ht starts the electrically operated water
 pump? How much easier it is to pres'
 the button than to operate the puml . bv hand for an hour or more, and nov l. ,ntlch time it saves. While electrlclt n is pumping the water. the farmer ca
 be doing something else, perhaps push
 ing other electric buttons and startln
 machines an dappliances about tn u place. y Bv pressing an electric button, th er farmer can also have plenty of saf n bright electric light wherever he wanl
 it. There is no more gropinS about
 the dark when he does the chores ear
 in the morning or late at night. rs can have a safe light in the hayloi s- in the grain bin, behind the stalls he the yard, in the COW barn and oth he | buildings. He no longer needs to wo l. ry about the lantern upsetung al ,is starting a fire and how much bett as he can work with plenty of electr or light.
