How Electricity Increases Farm Eff.
 ciency

Not many years ago. when the value of farm land was not so high as it is today, the farmer found it comparatively easy to raise sufficient crops to pay him for the money invested.
 This condition has changed. and the farmer of today must recognize farming as business. and place it upon an efficient ba- sis, in order to raise sufficient crops to make farming a paying investment.
 This is exactly 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 50,000 of one particular kind of light and power plant are in use today on the farms of United States and Canada. They are saving time for the farmer and his family. In many cases they are pumping water for him. operating the churn, cream sep arator, making his chores easy and in many ways saving time and labor.
 It's great day for the farm CT and his family when they can press, for the first time, an cleo tric button in their own home.
 It's great day, for it marks the beginning of a new life for them-it means that the drud-

ing electric light and power to dc the work.
 Of course the farmer who is contemplating buying an electric plant for his farm. will show good judgement if he buys d plant that is especially designed for farm purposes
 He should also make sure that the plant is made and marketed by large reliable concern He should know that his investment is backed up with reliable and ef> ffcient service.

gerry, the hardships and the bur dens that have marred and shad owed their lives have been re moved. Yes, it means more than that, for it makes possible the enjoyment of new comforts and new conveniences.
 Can you not see the farmer smile as he presses the electric button when he starts the cleo trlcally operated water pump? How much easier it is to press the button than to operate the pump by hand for an hour or more, and how much time it saves. While electricity is pump i ing the water, the farmer can be doing something else, perhaps pushing other electric buttons and starting other machines and appliances about the place.
 By pressing an electric button the farmer can also have plenty of safe bright electric light wher. ever he wants it. There is no more groping about in the dark when he does the chores early in the morning or late at right. He can have a safe light in the hay loft, in the grain bin, behind the stalls, in the yard, in the COW barn and other buildings. He no longer needs to worry about the lantern upsetting and starting fire aud how much better he can work with plenty of electric light.
 The farmers wife welcomes electric service with even greater joy and gladness than the farmer. It means that she is to be freed from the burdensome tasks that have darkened her days and per haps undermined her health. It means that her home is to be as attractive and as comfortable and convenient as the modern home in the city.
 The washing machine, churn, cream separator. sewing ma chine, vacaum cleaner, electric iron, electric fan, and many oth- CT household appliances can all be operated by electricity. The electric light plant also makes it possible to have running water in the kitchen, bathroom, and other parts of the house. The mothers on our farms especially appreciate such assistance in their work One cannot express in words, the joy that comes to their hearts through the use of electric light and power.
 We must not forget what cleo tricity means to the boys and girls on the farm. They too, are relieved fro-l much hard work and naturally they appreciate the comfort and attractiveness that electricity brings to the home. The better social life that springs from happier home at mosphere, means much to the country folks, it keeps them con tented and happy.
 Another big problem that cleo tric light and power on farms, help to solve is the problem of the hired labor Other things being equal, the hired men will prefer to work on the farm where he can have the conven fences of the city, so that the farmer whose home is equipped | with electric light and power should find it easier to secure hired help than the farmer lack ing these conveniences, to say nothing of the time saved by hay
