Z LECTRIC power lines now going
1up in Caroline County, Virginia,
mark the start of the first farm cleo
tricity cooperative in the state and fur
nish the incentive for vast rural cleo
trification program scheduled to bring
electricity for the first time to farmers
throughout entire Northern Virginia.
Thanks to the efforts of group of
Caroline County truck farmers, wide
awake country newspaper, and loan
of $366,ooo from the Rural Electrifi-
cation Administration. the Farmers
Rural Utilities, Incorporated, with
headquarters in Bowling Green, will
provide electricity for farmers, who,
for ten years waited in vain for means
Of tapping nearby electric current at a
reasonable cost.
Begun last Winter by farmer-mem-
bers of the Caroline County Coopera-
tive Sweet Potato Association, the CO.
operative identification movement spread
to the adjoining counties of Spotsylva-
MIA, Hanover and Orange. The contract
signed with REA will make electricity
available to more than 5000 prospective
farmer-customers.
Another approved project will take
electricity to the counties between the
Potomac and Rappahannock rivers

Cooperation Turns on Lights
BY r. C. DORSEY

the Northern Neck" Fourteen other
projects will hook up the Caroline and
Northern Neck" organizations with
Central Virginia and extend rural cleo
trification from the Chesapeake Bay to
the Shenandoah Valley, providing cleo
trio light and power to more than To-
600 prospective farmer-customers.
Sponsored by Cooperative
The Caroline County Cooperative
Sweet Potato Association which spon-
sored the electrification project last year
handled some $4,000 bushels of sweet
potatoes and over 5000 barrels of Gu
cumbers.
REA said the Caroline electrifica-
ton scheme was feasible on coopera-
tive basis provided the farmers could
get the cooperation and sign up ma
jority of farmers to be served.
On their own initiative, and at their
own expense, members of the coopera-
tive made house-to-house canvass. To
pay its way, rural electric line should
have at least three customers to mile,
Caroline farmers got four customers to
a mile. The cooperation of the county
board of supervisors was obtained. Ring
ing appeals in the Caroline Progress
created enthusiasm. The Farmers Rural
Utilities, incorporated, was organized
and chartered; rights of way for cleo
trio lines were obtained. The Farmers
Rural obtained the REA loan on the
usual terms: interest at 3 per cent
year and repayments spread over pc
Rod of 20 years.
Loan Provides Capital
The REA loan solved the problem
of capital and the Virginia Electric
Power Company contracted to furnish
electric current to the Farmers Rural
at wholesale rates. Through the nom
profit set-up of the cooperative, electric
ity will be retailed to farmers at cost
comparable or lower than that of city
customers. More than 10 times as many
farmers have contracted for electricity
from the Farmers Rural as the entire

sisted by long-term REA financing to
properly wire and equip their homes
and buildings, but farmers will not as
a rule be required to wire premises be-
fore the lines are built. REA does not
make any unsecured grants. The loan
to the Farmers Rural is for the entire
cost of the project; but the farmers
guarantee to purchase electricity, and
the lines and equipment, will constitute
a reasonable security to the government
for the money loaned.
Mistakes Made, Too
President of the Farmers Rural is
DR.. ]. r. Travis, farmer of 400 acres,
who also heads the sweet potato cooper
alive. Directors from the Sparta COM
nmnity is Frances Pitts, young V. P. |.
graduate, and R. F. Holberton, farm
supply dealer of Milford, Va. Director
R. d. Denison is assistant editor of the
farmer-minded Caroline Progress. Di-
rectors from the Port Royal area are
A. ]. Gouldman, farmer-merchant, and
C. ]. Holloway, District Supervisor.
w. H. Brown, graduate engineer of
Penn State, left large private utility
company to supervise construction of
lines and facilities.
Congress has just passed bill pro-
viding $4oo,ooo,ooo for Io-ycar pro-
gram of rural identification. Getting
the electric lights out to the farm may
now seem simple. The people of Caroline
have not found it so. IF we had only
known at the start what we know now,
we could have done it in half the time,
said Editor Denison. Mistakes were
made; estimates were made too high;
Others were made TOO low; confidence
was placed in the wrong people in some
instances-until the farmers learned
better"
Bringing electricity to farm homes in
Caroline County and other sections of
rural Virginia will mean considerable
benefit in any case, but if the cooperative
effort and determination that marked
the organization of the Farmers Rural
Utilities is carried forward into other
farm problems, it will mean a greatef
benefit than even electricity can give. \
