ELECTRICITY AIDS
FARM OPERATIONS
Power Yields More Work at
Less Cost.
BY NORTON IVES
Extension Agricultural Engineer.
University of Minnesota Farm.)

University OF Minnesota farm.)
When you buy electricity you buy
work. The success of the rural cleo
triication program should not be
measured in terms of miles of line
or numbers of customers connected.
These only show the amount of
money invested and the amount OF
debt incurred, the engineer warns.
The true value of electricity lies in
it's ability to do work cheaper and
better than by old-fashioned methods.
Unless put to work at productive
labor or money-saving tasks, the
"juice" is just another expense.
When given a chance, however, it
is the cheapest laborer on the farm.
A small quarter-horsepower motor
will do the work of one man and
at an energy cost averaging only
one cent per hour.
Feed grinding is accepted as a
money-saving practice on most live
stock farms, and when rates are
moderate, electricity will do the job
cheaper than any other form of
power. At a rate of 2.5 cents per
XVIII (kilowatt hour), Is cents will
grind a ton of oats, LOO pounds of
barley or 1890 pounds of corn to
medium fneness. Overhead bins,
arranged for automatic self-feeding,
practically eliminate labor cost and
permit the operator to do other
chores while the next days feed is
being ground.
In purchasing an electric feed
grinder, the motor costs far more
than the grinder, Ives points out, so
provisions should be made to see
that the power unit is made port
able and may be moved from one
job to another A three-horse-power
electric motor, in addition to grind
ing feed, will saw wood, elevate
grain or corn, run machines in the
farm shop, hoist hay and even shell
corn. When put to work, highline
current is the best hired man on
the place. If left in the wires, it will
"eat it's head off,"

ARMY DRAFT

Should the President be given the
authority to draft and use the Ma
tional Guard? Yes and something
more. He should be given the
authority to recreate the selective
service system and draft selected
men for either the regular army or
the National Guard.
This doesn't mean that either pow
er will be used to any important
extent.
1t isn't to suggest the raising of
large conscripted army before we
have the equipment for them to use
if at all.
1t isn't counsel of panic or hys-
terra. 1t is means to avoid both
and, above all, to prevent hardship
and unfairness in raising the troops
we need-even if the number be
less than 100000.
The reasons for these suggestions
are simple. Recruiting by volun-
teering is tagging dangerously.
This is partly due to growing in
dustrial activity and partly because
there are so many men on relief.
But there is stronger reason than
any of these. This country was sold

FORD AND AIRPLANES

Could Henry Ford produce 1000
planes a day at River Rouge? He
could if all designs were alike,
adapted to present production meth
DDS and there were not constant de-
sign changes. The success of Henry
Ford in producing 10000 automo-
biles a day was his invention of
uniformity of design and inter-
changeability of parts. Under exist
ing conditions of flux and uncertain
ty, Mr.. Ford could no more produce
1000 planes a day than he could
produce 10000
There is another terrible bottle
neck-impossible military standards
of perfection which take no stock of
our facilities for production. That
stopped us often in the World war.
Henry Ford, in creating the first
Tin Lizzie that put America on
wheels, had the genius to see exact
ly this fault. He built a car that
would do all that was required of it
in 80 per cent of cases, but which
sacrificed no more to theoretical
perfection than was necessary to do
the work required and meet the re-
quirement of price and production.
Charlie Nash did the same thing.

Hate That Viii Start Neat War


in 1917 the idea of raising armies
by selective draft-the idea that
each man should "serve in that
place where it shall best serve the
common good to call him"
Men, believing this is our national
policy, do not feel the old urge to
volunteer before they are told the
country's wishes.
Another reason is that if the Ma
tional Guard is called out in time
of peace, about 100000 men are 60
ing to lose their wages in industry
to take the very low pay of soldier
and many of them have depend
ents. Until there is stark mill
tary necessity this should be avoided
wherever possible.
The regular army and the Ma
tional Guard at the beginning should
be largely made up of able-bodied
men without dependents, to whom
the loss of civilian job involves no
minor tragedy.
Setting up the selective service
boards, roughly one in every group
of 10000 inhabitants, is very sim
pie. We completed the organization
in 10 days in 1917.
The next step is the registration of
about 100000 men between the
ages of 81 and 80 inclusive. This
is done by means of fairly simple
QUESTIONABLE which gives all the
facts the board needs for selections.
Then the order in which regis
tered men are to be called for ex-
animation is fixed by lot. The
standards for the selection of the
first 500, 1000 should be very liberal
such as to impose the very mini
mum of hardship on the man or his
dependents.
Having skinned off that number
of men of this type, that class would
wait to be called-either to the regu-
lar army as fast as it requires men,
or to fill up the National Guard or
replace the guardsmen, whose call
should be deferred because of hard.
ship or other good reason.
This is the swiftest, fairest, most
efficient way to raise armies and it
is by far the cheapest way, so that
the cost per soldier is only fraction
of the cost of volunteering. In the
interest Of both prudence and calm
ness 1 think we should proceed
along these lines at once.

One Out of Four Farms
Served by Power Lines

About 100000 farms, Is per cent
of all the farms in the United States,
had nighttime electric service at
the beginning of this year, more than
twice the number having service
when the Rural Identification adj
ministration was established in 1885,
REA announces.
Electric service was extended to
approximately 225, 1000 farm families
and other users or about 100000
persons last year-one for every 30
seconds licked off from the begin
ming to the end of the year.
Users receiving service from
REA, financed systems now total
about 100000. Of the 688 such sys-
TENS, 500 are in operation with more
than 100000 miles of lines ener-
gized.
Construction was equivalent to
one average system completed per
day, averaging about 400 miles of
line per work day. During periods
of favorable weather, construction
has averaged more than 500 miles
per working day, and at times it ex-
ceeded $50 miles per working day.
The 100000 miles of REA financed
lines now in operation are sufficient
to span the continent from Wash
ington to San Francisco 60 times.
An additional 10000 miles are still
under construction.
The average size REA financed
system has an investment of $780,
600, and serves 1000 users from 400
miles of lines. Farmers co-opera-
tives constitute 1874 per cent of REA
borrowers.
