ELECTRICITY FOR
THE FARMER

|. What is farmers time worth ,
what is he worth an hour? Does he
;charge his buSineSS-the business of
farming-with the value of the time
he gives to it? And does he know how
much time he is giving to executive
work and productive labor and how
much to nOn-prOductive labor? The
farmer who is not giving these things
little thought is not in the front rank
OF those who are making Of farming
what 1t really should be-a business
on business basis.
The average gross income from 4
farm Of one hundred and fifty acres
Will be something over $4,000, and r.
! produce that income between 700e
and 5000 hours of productive labor
Iare required. This makes the average
productive labor hour worth about 40
cents.
10 make every one Of these 40 cent
hours productive of its share of profit
1t is necessary to reduce n0n-product-
I've labor to minimum. and in farm
ing as in manufacturing it has been
found that the best way to do this is
10 use labor-Saving machinery. The
small electric light and power plants
now in use on so many farms accom-
pllSh a lot Of this labor saving. In.
stead OF spending hours pumping and
carrying water for the stock and for
all household purposes the modern
farm family has an electric pumping
system installed which keeps water
at a pressure Of fifty pounds wherever
II is needed in the house or barns.
Grlndstones, tanning mills and MANY
light power appliances in the barn
which used to require the time of two
men are now turned by electricity In |
the house the pumping, churning. sep
aratlng, sweeping, washing and iron
ing are all done by electricity, reliey-
ing the farmers wife of a great part
OF the burdens which have made her
lie hard one. And Of course electric
light itself makes the farm home a
bright and cheerful place to live.
Where electricity serves the farm
family we find the best of living con.
and we find too that every 4
member of that family makes each |.
hour of labor pay a profit.

tree"

For two hours and thirty minutes,
Goveronr A. H, Roberts, speaking in
the interest of his denomination for
governor, held the closest attention of
an audience of some $50 people at
the Grand Theatre Wednesday after
noon. Time after time the Governor
was interrupted with applause or
cheering as he warmed up to his sub
ject. The Governors explanation of
the tax law was couched in the sim
plest language, and was made so clear
that even child could understand it..
AS the governor told of the purpose of
the new law, and how it was intended
to give equal and exact justice to all.
He showed how in the past the old
tax laws had Caught the minnows
and let the big fish get away" He
then cited instance after instance of
amazing underassessment, showing
how the people of some of the big
counties of the state had not been
bearing one penny of the expense of
maintaining the state institutions, and
that the other counties had been re-
quired to pay this expense for them.
The new law does away with this ine-
quality, the Governor said.
Governor Roberts in his speech here
did not bring out ny new matter, but
he did call upon Crabtrees campaign
manager in Maury county to explain
just what Crabtree proposes to do
about taxation when he becomes gov
ernor.
