CHEAP SUPPLY OF CURRENT
Great Shortage Of Labor Makes II De-
sirable for Farmer to Take Ad-
vantage OF Every Opportunity
to Cut Expenses.

Many farmers unknowingly have on
their farms a source of power that
could be put to work at very little ex-
pense and could be made to fill many
farm and domestic needs. This is the
stream. large or small that now runs
away in wasted energy. Particularly
at this time, when there is great
shortage of labor on the farms, 1t is
desirable that the farmers take ad-
vantage of every possible means Of
utilizing power. Electricity, too, for
farm and domestic uses benefits the
farmers wife as much as 1t does the
farmer himself, for 1t relieves her of
much of the drudgery Of homework
and adds greatly to the comfort of
farm life.
The farmers needs go hand in hand
with those of the wife. so, in consider
ing the size of the power plant to be
installed. he should include her re
quirements as well as his own. The
desrabiity of n dependable, convent
ent and cheap supply of electric cur
rent for use for light and power pur-
poses on country places is so manifest
that one is justified usually In going
to some lengths to secure il. 1t is
advisable to put in a plant somewhat
larger than the needs of the moment
require. An additional horsepower or
two will not greatly change the first
cost, while use will always be found
for any original excess.

Sioux Falls.-The cattle industry Is
