One of the striking things that the
Congressional Party to the Philippines
witnessed in Japan was the electrifi-
cation of Japanese farms. Usually
each farm had an electric light bulb
or two even though the farm might
consist of less than an acre of muddy
rice land and the house would be a
carried on highlines over the Japa-
nese mountains.
If the poverty stricken Japanese
rice farmers can afford electric power,
the American farmer certainly should
be entitled to similar benefits.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER ]. RYAN

The Rural Electrification Admin
stration which is now swinging into
operation will afford great oppor-
tunity for farmers to secure the ben
efits of electric light and power which
they have heretofore been denied.
The bringing of electricity to the
American farm will be a great help to
the efficient operation and the COM
fort of the farm. This is particularly
true in dairy sections where electric
power can be used for great many
purposes.
For these reasons progressive lead
ers of all parties have worked hard to
secure the benefits of the rural cleo
trification program. Senators Norris
end Shipstead have been outstanding
leaders in the program.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-03-19

The program not only covers cleo
trical development of power and light
lines, but loans will be made for the
wiring of farm homes and installa-
ton of electrical appliances. The pro-
gram has met with enthusiastic sup
port from farm women who look for
ward to freedom from household
drudgery through electrical appli-
ances. Figures are quoted showing
that the average farm woman spends
siXty-four to seventy-seven hours a
week doing housework alone. There
is no question but that electricity
would be a great help in this regard.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-03-19

Lack of electricity shuts out the
electric pump, denying to most farm
ers the sanitation and living comforts
that go with household and farm wa
ter systems. National surveys dis
close that of the 32,700,000 persons
in this country living on farms:
Seventy-three per cent must carry
water from wells or other sources Of
supply; II per cent must put up with
unsanitary. incOnvenient outdoor toll
lets; SO per cent have neither bathtub
nor shower; 76 per cent must depend
upon kerosene or gasoline lamps; APP
parently about 10 per cent use candles
or are entirely without light; 80 per
cent heat their homes partially or en-
tirely with fireplaces; and "a per cent
with stoves; 4S per cent are compelled
to do their laundry work out of doors.
In it's desire to relieve the hard
ships which these figures reflect, Con-
gress decided that the farmers of the
country can and should have cleo
tricity and the benefits that go with
it.

The REA has no field or regional
organization. 1t is expected that its
program will be carried out through
voluntary action of local people with
assistance from Washington and from
the extension divisions of state agri-
cultural colleges and other agencies.
There is no set plan or method for
the securing of rural identification
benefits.
Projects which have been COM
menced in Minnesota have been usu-
ally proposed by farmers cooperative
associations.
The REA will make loans to any re-
sponsible legal body which is properly
organized and which proposes sound
identification project. Such cOOpera-
tive association may assume all the
cost of operation, including mainte-
nance, metering, bookkeeping and
sales promotion. They must, of course,
employ competent managers to OPP
crate the lines and to assure salts
factory operation and good service.
The REA must be assured before MAX
ing a loan that the project is of such

BILE subject for the discussions in
Washington. but it was unknown
whether such an expression indicated
prospective lowering of the francs gold
value.
The term has been used previously
by advocates of devaluation.
Rene Richard, Radical-Socialist
deputy, said he hoped something would
be done "as soon as possible for
Frances own interests" He declared
he was unable to confirm the reports.
Some sources said negotiations might
lead toward an international monetary
conference which would also consider
settlement of the war debt question.
Holds Inflaticn Necessary.
Vincent Auriol, minister Of finance,
rejected the idea of prompting an
alignment of monies by devaluation
of the franc because Of the "uncer-
tainty' over whether the United
States and Great Britain might not
further devalue the dollar and the
pound.
In an interview with a French writer
Auriol said a three-month period of
imitation was necessary to cover rising
prices until the good effects of the
rise have balanced the bad ones.
Such imitation, he said, would be
neither the ''listless use Of IL to IS bill
lion francs during the last six months"
nor extensive imitation, which would
require the control of exchanges"
Auriol estimated 25,0O0,O 900 900
francs ($1,650,0O0,O ,OO0) in bank notes
and 10000, ,000,0 900 francs ($1,320, ,000,-

France or inactive abroad under

sums is impossible without certain

FISHING
According to
IZAAK WALTON

The local fishing season is now
open, and how! Trout in the
mountains, white perch in the
Potomac River, and channel bass
in North Carolina. Take your
choice and try your luck! Here
is the dope:
Good-sized catches Of white
perch have been made this week
in the Potomac River just below
Chain Bridge, these fish the first
to run, are large, some weighing
over a pound. The best bats
are bloodworms, garden worms
or small minnows. They will also
hit a small fly or spinner when
the water is clear. Catfish are
also being landed by the perch
fishermen. The herring are ex
pected any day now. and Snext
month the rockfish will be strik'
ing off of Joe Fletcher's.
Bass Off Carolina
Reports from North Carolina
indicate good channel bass
season is now started. Capt.
John Leavell at Atlantic, N. c.,
says .hools of large drum are
now in the surf. Trolling or surf
casting are the best bets. Make
your reservations now or you
may be disappointed later.
Maryland trout season opened
with a bang on the first of April
but, in the short space Of three
days, the supply of fish ran out
and the anglers who fished Fish
ing and Hunting Creeks this past
weekend were skunked, and we
don't mean maybe. Hardly fish
was caught except understood ma
tive" trout. It is hoped that these
streams will be stocked again this
week, otherwise we cannot recon-
mend that District anglers should
spend $3.50 for a license.
Virginia Trout Season
The Virginia trout season opens
on the fifteenth of April with
nearly all streams well stocked
and we can recommend and strong
ly urge anglers to buy a Virginia
license.
The spring field trials Of the Ma
tional Capitol Field Trial Club will
be held at the Hills Farm, Glenn
