ELECTRICITY BEST
FRIEND OF FARMER

One Of the important uses to which
is being put on the farms
is irrigation. According to engineera
Of the General Electric Company, elec-
trical pumping is superior to other
methods because:
The water is under complete
control of the land owner
The irrigator is not dependent
on his neighbors.
The water is flowing in an in
stant, day or night.
The machinery has no compli-
Gated parts to keep in repair
There are no boilers to explode.
There is no gasoline tank to
catch on fire.
1t is cheaper to install.
1t costs less to operate.
The cost of electricity is grow
ing less every year.
1t is easily and quickly started.
1t is on the job day and night.
1t brings power to the barn for
QOlnB l0e CuOTeS.
1t brings light for sudden
emergencies.
1t brings a lower Insurance rate
on barn and house.
1t brings cool breeze for IN
hot summer day.
1t brings a gentle warmth for
chilly spring or autumn days.
II brings a soft, pleasing light
for the long winter evenings.
Il makes the Sabbath a day of
rest for the. housewife.
II brings the possibilities Of
dainty dishes for the invalid.
II brings more profit, comfort
and pure Joy of living to the
farm than any one element Of life.
