In this matter has just come to notice.
This farmer, who is also local bank
err, was raising beef cattle.
He made tests on the relation of
water to the weight of his stock
and noted that his cattle drank
more water when it was pumped fresh
from the ground for them, than when
they drank water that had stood long
in the tank.
Following a study OF the matter,
he and neighboring farmer put in an
electric power line for their farms, ex-
pending together about $1,100. After
a years operation, from that particu-
lar station, 81 carloads of cattle were
shipped. Seven of these carloads
were from three farms-a farm with
a spring and the two farms equipped
with electricity.
Difference Due to Water
The cattle in those seven carloads
were the only cattle out OF the entire
81 carloads that brought top prices
on the market. Moreover, the aver
age weight of. the cattle in those seven
cars was So pounds per head greater
than the average weight of the cattle
in the other cars. The bankerfarmer
attributed this entirely to his facilities
for giving the cattle an adequate sup
ply of fresh water at ground tempera-
ture, and he estimated that in this
year alone he made approximately
s4O0 on his investment.

POLICY FAvORINC
ELECTRIC FARMS
General Electric Cooperating to
Make Electricity Available
in Agriculture.

Extending electric service to the g.
500, 900 farms of the United States has
been made one OF the principal OBJ
jectives of the General Electric Com
pany, which is DESTROYS of seeing this
immense market and field of useful
ness made accessible. 1t is the belief
of men at the head of that company
that the way will be found to take
electricity to the farmer on a profit
able economic basis, and that when
this way is discovered, the complete
revolutionizing of farm life will result.
Practical difficulties have delayed
farm identification. Even where high
voltage transmission lines are carried
through agricultural sections, farms
are usually so widely separated as to
make economical electric service to
them impractical.
Transformer Cost a Problem
To build step-down transformer
substation to serve single farm costs
nearly as much as one to supply hun
dred farms Transformers are essen
tial in tapping a high-voltage trans
mission line.
The farmers problem is to get cleo
trio service at cost low enough to
make it profitable for him to use. The
utility company's problem is to supply
the service at cost that will enable
it to net a fair return on the invested
capital Agricultural machinery manu-
facturers and electrical manufacturers
have before them the problem of de-
signing implements and appliances for
use in farm work that will be low in
cost and high in efficiency.
A recent organization known as the
Committee on the Relation of Elec-
tricity to Agriculture is tackling these
basic problems of farm electrification.
This committee represents several in
terested parties on both sides of the
house-the farmers who will use the
electric service and the manufactur-
ing and business interests who will
supply it.
Have Farm Women in Mind
Taking the drudgery out of women's
work on the farm is, in the opinion
| of General Electric engineers, an even
| greater economic and social necessity
than the Improvement of the tools
used by the farmer himself
An important feature of the General
Electric farm identification program
which opens up huge possibilities is
highway lighting. Research by the
lighting experts at Schenectady has
developed a highly efficient and eco
nomieal lighting unit, which has been
named the Novalux unit A dozen or
! so of these along mile OF country

Back in 1884, when Gloucester,
Mass, had a composite population
as it has to-day of fishermen, glue
and Irvine manufacturers and fol-
lowers of the sea there was born
in their midst one Harry Allen.
His father and grandfather had
been fishermen, his mother and
grandmother makers of sails. His
father was drowned the day he was
born, his mother died giving him
life. An illiterate aunt and her dis
solute husband attempted to raise
him. He was sent to a Kinder

It has been established conclusively,
in the practice of successful farming,
that fresh water, as distinguished
from standing water, means better
livestock. And it has now been es-
tablished, in addition, that an cleo
trically operated pumping system on
the farm is so efficient in providing a
supply of fresh, running water, that
it is comparable with that finest of

MIR. H. ST. JOHNS TO DIS
SOCIATE HIMSELF FROM
ENGLAND'S POLICY BY
RESIGNING.

London-Mr. H. st. John rhilby,
speaking yesterday AT meeting of the
Near and Middle East Association,
said that after cxhausting every effort
in his nower to bring home to the
British Government, through the or
dinary official channels the unwiSdom
if not the injustice, od delaying Il fair
settlement in Arabia, lie was driver of
his own free choice to adopt the only
alternative, and diSsociate himself
from the policy that England was pur-
suing. by resigning from his post, His
purpose was to obtain freedom to de
vote himself TO Il cause. which was not
only just. but Noteworthy of support.
France was in Syria as tho result of
commitments into which England had
entered he said, and would remain
there so long as England remained in
Palestine and Mesopotamia. The
French had no desire to remain in
Syria any longer than England re-
mained in the countries allOcatcd to it.
He believed that the Syrian patriots
should concentrate upon demanding
from the British Foreign Office the
release of Palestine and Mesopotamia
from the mandates.
He declared that England would
save 20,000,000 pounds If She would
get out Of MesOpotama. but that in
Palestine she would come across n Sc
,ious difficulty. since she was com
mitfed to rich aud powerful COM
munity which demanded its pound of

he declared, he would hold out the
