Young, a farm owner and with a

man Of the board of directors of the
General Electric Company. The obli
cation, in Mr.. Young's opinion. rests
with the electrical industry.
In an interview which Mr.. Young
has just granted to the New York
Times he says: 1T is the electrical
industry's job to make its contribution
to adequacy and economy in farm pro-
duction. Otherwise, the electrical in
dustry will be found wanting And it
must accept a problem Of this magni
tude and character as presenting a
duty rather than a new market.
THE question is, how can a bust
ness OF this size and Importance be
developed in such a way that the elec.
trical industry can sell its service for
what the purchasers can afford to
pay? Anybody can produce goods at
such a price that no one can afford to
buy them. Business demands that
the price shall be within reach of the
potential customer, and that there
shall be fair return to the producer.
A Job to Be Worked Out.
1T is incumbent upon the manufac-
turing branch of the electrical indus.
try to meet this problem. 1t must
make and develop the necessary ma
chinery. 1t can be done. The manu-
featuring branch supplied the textile
field, it provided the machinery for
the mine and the railroad, for the
steel mill and the bakery.
I'VE can make farming attractive,
comfortable and profitable. Electri-
city can tighten farm labors and in
crease farm profits. 1t will check
the exodus of the better type OF citi-
zens from the farm. It will make the
farmhouse the most delightful home
we have in this country"
Mr.. Young added that It was hardly
20 be expected that the isolated elec
trio light and power company, having
no inter-connection Of power lines
with any other utility company, could
go out and serve the farmer at a dis.
tinct loss. But the opportunity came
he pointed out, when fifteen or TWEEN
~ such isolated utilities were tied to-
gether into a single system with one
large power plant, and a system 'oi

plishing economies which each of the
single isolated plants could not work

why has electricity been halted at

panies were lighting companies ana

Farmers have been unfortunate in
the matter of electrical conveniences
from the very fact Of their being

their living in isolated sections. Their
isolation has been their handicap.
