COMMITTEE BACKING MINNESOTA LINE

for various other purposes, so that his
total 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 kiIowatt Hour Decreases
1t assumed that a farmer used 20
kilowatt hours per month, at the
energy rate established for the Red
fixed charge of $500 plus 81 for the
energy, a total of $3.50, or 1915 cents
per kilowatt hour. But if he used so
kilowatt hours per month, his total
bill would amount to only So. or 18
cents per kilowatt hour. II he used
100 kilowatt hours, his bill would be
only $1,000, which is 10.5 cents per
kilowatt hour; and if he used 800 kilo-
watt hours, his bill would amount to
$3.50 or. 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour.
'sThis, said Mr.. Stuart, lis what we
call rate schedule which would in
wife, rather than prohibit, the liberal
use of electric energy"
AS to Effective Usages
The practical tryout of such rate
is one of the two big detectives of the
Red Wing experiment. The second
is serious study of the application OF
electricity to agriculture.
This dove-tails into the other objec-
tive in a very practical manner 1--WE
realized" said Mr.. Stuart, "that there
would be no common sense in getting
the farmer to consume a large amount
Of electric energy just to earn low
kilowatt-hour rate, and that the job
was ours to show him how to use, to
his own advantage, some ten times as
much energy as he now consumes. We
have got to find that out, and we must
not do it at the expense of the farmer
This part of the Red Wing investi-
CATION is now being followed through
| with every indication of some interest
ing results, although it is still too
| early, the joint committee declares, to
| try to indicate these results.

LOW RATES AND LIBERAL USE
is AIM ON The ELECTRIC FARM
Minnesota Expementes Suggest Consumption of 300 XVIII Per
Month. and Set Up Rate of Five Cents Per
XVIII After Fixed Charges.

To induce farmers who electSjfy
their farms to use as much as 800 kilo-
watt hours of energy month, by rea-
son of attractive rate schedules, is
one of the basic objects of the expert
mental farm transmission line now in
op.ration outside the city of Red
Wing, Mimi On most farms where
electric energy is supplied by a power
company, the farmer seldom uses over
80 or 35 kilowatt hours Of energy per
month"; 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 power
company, has heretofore been an eco
nomic failure. according to the pro-
moters of the Red Wing experiment.
Speaking for the joint committee
which is in charge of the farm line ex-
tending five miles out of Red Wing
