He Immediately attains at one leap the

thousands, while on the following

going to stick to It, particularly since
we are convinced that it has had a
tremendously beneficial effect on our
finances.

helped the value of the lira, but the

sible to Judge what would have hap
pened to the Ira If we had not settled
our debts"
The government, he said, was look

ELECTRIFICATION

The Kansas State Agricultural
college has recently issued Bulletin
No. is on the present status OF rural
electrification in that state. In sum
ming UP the situation, the bulletin
stated that rural customers as a group
were well satisfied with central sta
ton service. Not a single Ease was
found where a customer was DESTROYS
Of disseminating farmstead service.
The most frequent complaints were
made on rates but the bulletin point
ed out that a proper rate for rural
service cannot be built just at this
time. Too little is known Cf the vo.'
ume Of business, the characteristics
OF the service, the cost of maintenance
and construction, and the probable
growth Of farm uses to make a defi-
mite rate of schedule.
The Pacific Gas and Electric COM
pany, Of San Francisco, in its Pacific
Service magazine for October, goes
into farm identification from many
angles. This n company erves 80
counties in northern California where
electricity is used on the farm more
widely and for mere different pur-
poses, than in any other section Of
The world. It's experience in this
field dates back to the latter part OF
1908, and it is probable that it made
the first installation Of an electric
motor for agricultural purposes fol
a farmer near Yuba City, in 1898.
Electricity on the farm is so well
established in California, and its USE
in modern farming Sc vital to agri-
cultural success, that this review pub
