wonderful age of rural electrifica- tio1 began, it may have to be ex- plained how this juice is used. Take dairy products, for which there is now an extra demand from Britain: Electricity runs the milking mach ines, water pumps for the stock, c-c- ~~ators and refrigerator system to keep the milk from spelling.
 Take poultry: A farmer who doesn't have electric lights in the hen house, to make the biddies work overtime and all he time, simply can't compete with modern neigh bors. Take truck farms: Hot beds are no longer heated by manure, but by electricity.
 Incidentally, REA, through the U. s. Film Service, achieved something of an artistic triumph recently through 1t documentary movie, Power and the Land", which ex- plained all this. It's as good as the much discussed "Plow That Broke the Plains" and "The River" Tn the REA contribution, Director Joris Ivens looked around till he found a natural cast of actors in Bill and Hazel Parkinson and their family of Belmont county, Ohio.
 Ivens filmed the home life of the Parkinsons, B. E. - before eelctrifi- cation Coal oil lamps, hand milk ing, baths in tin tub, soured milk in the romantic but inefflcient spring house. Then the life of the Parkinson, A. E. = after elertcifica- ton. Lights all aver the place. Hot and cold running water. Shower baths. Milking machines and elec- tric iceboxes. Radio, electric stove and all the other luxuries.
 A LIVE
 WIRE
 REA opened up shop in 1885 with a $14 million appropriation. At that time, 1t was estimated that only 743,000 of the 6,800,000 U. s. farms had electricity. Since then, and up to June 1, REA has had appropria- tions of $374 million. It has strung 354 ,000 miles of wire. It has 60 gen. erating plants of its own, costing $11 million House wiring and plumbing cost $7 million and distri- button system $348 million.
 It has advanced loans to 824 CO., operatives with 1,170,000 customers and the arevarges on loans is less than B cents per $1,000 = good record for any bank. The money is therefore coming back, with the ex- ception of the $4 million annual ad- ministration costs, which the De- partment of Agriculture appropria- tion contributes and writes oil. The overall farm identification picture today is that two million out of the six million farms are now wired, a 300 per cent increase in six years.
 REA distribution systems by 58S million killowatts from private and government plants and they gener- ate 45 million killowattS of their own. These REA power plants are all over the country.
 Right now, REA figures that by temporarily sidetracking some of its planned distribution systems and going in for more generating sys- tems it can relieve power shortage tremendously. One of its ideas is for whole system of connected plants in and around Arkansas, to fur nish power for greater production oi aluminium most critically needed defense material.

BY PETER EDISON Waterbury Democrat Washington Corresuoudent

Washington, Aug ? - It looked for a time as though the now vast and still growing Rural Electrifca- ton Administration might be sac- rificed in the interests of national defense, but by dint of some close figuring, plus slight shift in the objectives of the REA job to tie 1t

 ton, but it is a safe bet now that REA will get the 73,000 tons of steel and the 67,000 toLs of copper for 305 ,000 miles of wire, the 5000 tons of zinc needed for galvanizing pole top and guy assembly uclts, the 5000 tons of porcelain for i1i- Sulators, and timber for the two million poles that will be needed to carry the program into the fall of 1942.
 You might not think that the expansion of a rural identification program had anything to do with national defense, but REA fits into the picture like this:
 First, 8 big campaign is on to prove that flood will win the war" Anything that helps in the produc- tion of food, helps win the war. Electrifcation of farms helps in- crease the production of food. Elec- trification of farms therefore helps win the war.
 Second, there is shortage of power, particularly in some regions. REA figures that by taking a good part of it's appropriation 'and putt ting it into steam or diesel gener- ating stations, strategically located, it can alleviate this power shortage. Then, when the war is over, these power stations will be available to feed into new rural distribution systems until the country is cover ed
