POWER COMPANY
ADDS TO SERVICE
Is Ending Last Lap Of Its
Program For Rural Areas
Most Farms Supplied

Butte, Jan. 4.-The job of bring
ag electricity to farm customers
in the 80,000-square mile area
served by the Montana Power COM
pany is On its last lap. A year
end check shows that at the close
OF 1949 more than 95 per cent of
the farms in the Montana Power
company service area are being
served with electricity, which COM
pareS with Montana's overall total
of 62.2 per cent of the farms serv-
ed and the national average of
1872 per cent of all farms being
served with electricity.
Approximately 1900 farms now
have electricity from the Montana
Power company alone, with more
than 700 farms having been added
to the system during 1949. The
total number of rural customers
as of December 1949 was 1891,
including farms, permanent coun-
try homes and other rural users.
During the first IL months of
1949, the company added 1916
customers of all types, and Off
Gals estimated that by the end of
the year it was serving 114,600
customers. Taking steps to meet
the demand of these new custom
ers and to improve service to all
its consumers, the company made
a number of additions and i'm
provements to its system during
1949.

A boy from Edgar, Montana, James ". Bequette, Il, left, is a win
ner of the 1949 National All Field Crops program. AS a winner he
received a $500 Fowler Mccormick scholarship and an all-expense
trip to the 18th National All Club Congress in Chicago. The Interna-
tional Harvester Company is donor of county, state, and national
awards in Field Crops.
James has specialized in registered wheat and barley during his
six years of club work. In 1947 his 3A acres of registered Ceres spring
wheat passed the test for being certified, but because of dry weather
he got only 60 bushels of clean seed. This he used in 1913 to seed 10
acres, from which he harvested a good crop. A sample of this placed
fourth in the State Seed Show. He used proceeds from this year
crop to enter Montana State University.
In All work, James is a fine leader, and much of the credit for
keeping Edgars club work going belongs to him.
