Tor various other purposes, so that his
tctat consumption increases. and
thereby the benefit resulting from the
electric energy on his farm also pre-.
sumably increases, it becomes worth
while. The reason for this was shown
by an imaginary case, worked out
by Mr.. Stuart.
Cost Per Kilowatt Hour Decreases
1t assumed that a farmer used 20
kilowatt hours per month, at the
energy rate established for the Red
Wing line This would cost him the
fixed charge of $500 plus 81 for the
energy, a total of $3.50, or 39.5 cents
per kilowatt hour. But If he used so
kilowat; hours per month. his total
bill would amount to only 50, or IS
cents per kilowat; hour If he used
10G kilowatt hours his bill would be
only s1O.5O, which is 1915 cents per
kilowatt hour; and if he used 800 kilo
watt hours. his bill would amount to
1850 or 5.5 cents PEI Kilowatt hour.
"Tnis," said Mr. Stuart, sis what we
call rate schedule which would in
yite, rather than prohibit. the liberal
use of electric energy"
As to Effective Usaqes
The practical tryout Of such rate
is one Of the two big obiectlves Of the
Red Wing experiment. The second
is a serious study of the application Of
electricity TO agriculture
This doye-tails into the other obiec
tive in a very practical manner we
realized" said Mr Stuart that there
would be no common sense in getting
the farmer to consume a large amount
OF electric ene~gy Just to earn a low
kilowatthour rate. and that the lob
was ours to show him how to use to
his own ADVANTAGE. some te9 times az
much energy as he now consumes We

which built the line, told CT an investi-
cation just made of more than thirty
existing farm lines, in various To-
calities, which serve 1,452 customers.
Why Farm Lines Haven't Paid
1T was found" he said, that every
one of these farm lines was losing
money. The reason why was soon
made all-apparent. for the average
consumption for these 1852 farmers
was only 2S.7 kilowatt hours per
month, which is less than the average
city resident customer uses. 1t seems
probable that this low consumption is
due to two factors, one being rate
structures not inviting to liberal use
of current and the second being that
the farmer never has been shown how
TO use electricity literally to his own
advantage.
Farmers have financed the build
ing Of rural lines and decided them
over to the power companies, which
usually charge at least IL cents per
kilowatt hour for the first hundred
kilowatt hours, with a minimum bill
Of s5 a month for the next hundred
kilowatt hours. at step cent lower
and the excess perhaps at a further
cent reduction.
These rates are not exorbitan;. but
do not invite the progressive farmer
to a liberal consumption. in thai the
farmer never gets DOWN to cheap elec
tricity no matter how much he uses
Take a rate Of 100 k'lowatt hours
per month az ~ cents net. with a
minimum charge NJ s5 per month A
study Of lines with this rate reveals
thai the farmer makes very sure lever

Low Rates and LIBERAL Use

Minnesota Expemeners Suggest Consumption of 300 XVIII Per
Month"; and Set Up Rate of Five Cents Per
XVIII After Fixed Charges.

To induce farmers who electrify
their farms to use as much as 300 kilo-
watt hours of energy a month, by rea-
son Of attractive rate schedules, is
one of the basic objects of the expert
mental farm transmission line now in
operation outside the city of Red
Wing, MINI. On most farms where
electric energy is supplied by a power
company, the farmer seldom uses over
30 or 35 kilowatt hours of energy per
month-a rather startling difference
between present practice and hoped
for accomplishment
In that gap between 80 kilowatt
hours and 800 kilowatt hours lies the
hidden reason why electric energy for
farm use, when provided by a power
company. has heretofore been an eco
nomic failure, according to the pro-
moters of the Red Wing experiment.
