More Electric
Power For
New England

New England's electrical sun
ply was stepped up sharply this
week as two brand new gener-
ating stations began producing a
total Of $4,000 kilowatts of addi-
tional electrical power. One of
the new station is in western
Massachusetts and he other in
south eastern New Hampsh e but
through interconnecting trans
mission lines both add to thepoyer
pool upon which all New England
may draw, according to an an
nouncement by Avery F.. Schiller
chairman Of the Electric Coordin-
ating Council Of New England
and President Of Public Service
Company of New Hampshire.
ut is not mere coincidence.
Mr.. Schiller's statement continues
that so many new generating
stations and huge additions to ex-
listing stations are currently
coming into service here in New
England.
1T is all a part of large post
war construction program begun
in 1945 and 1916 when the relax
alton Of war time restrictions
made such work POSSIBLE for the
first time in FIVE years. Already
many new electric power pro-
ducing units are on the lines and
before the end Of next sumner,
several more will be ready for
use. This will mark the end of
this particular phase Of the larg-
est building program ever UNDER
taken by the industry. However,
it does not mean a cessation of
either planning or building for
the future. Already many COM
panies have definite plans for
heavy construction programs GO
ing into the next three or more
years"
Mr.. Schiller's report listed a
total of 352,25O kilowatts from
major new sources between the
summer of 1949 and the summer
of 1850. This additional power
represents part Of development
programs of Boston Edison Com
pany, New England Electric
System, New England Gas and
Electric Association, Western
Massachusetts, Electric Company,
Hartford Electric Light Company
and Public Service Company of
New Hampshire.
"One of these new installations
is the largest turbo-generator
ever brought into service in New
England" reports Mr.. Schiller,
another is a comprehensive re-
development of one Of New Eng
lands few remaining important
hydroelectrie sites, while third
/, the first integrated mercGry-
steam electric generating station
in the world Mr.. Schiller noted
that all of New Englands's new
electric generating capacity rep
resents the most advanced en-
gineering achievements both in
economy and in efici ICY Of OPP
Grafton.
MIR. Schiller's statement con-
cludes that the half-billion dol
lor post war investment in new
facilities means an expenditure of
s1esOoo every day for 7 years by
the electric companies Of New
England and that the total OF
more than one million ew kilo-
watts of electric power which
win be derived fro this program,
nh,s the extension and improve
.nent Of other facilities, will pro-
vide amply for New England's
current and near future needs.
nAs further new capacity is re-
ouired," said Mr.. Schiller, ut will

ing electric companies serving

Chemical Spraying
Widely Practiced

CHEMICAL SPRAYING of some
type was a part of the regular farm
ing operation of IS percent of Mon
tana's farmers and ranchers in 1949,
according to recent 27-state survey
of county extension agents. The re-
port also indicates that u percent
of Montana farmers and ranchers
who did spray owned their own
spraying equipment.
Corn was reported the ''most
sprayed crop" in the 27-state area.
Wheat was second and oats third.
Only percent of the county agents
indicated any appreciate crop dam
age in their locality due to spraying.
Sixty percent of the county agents
reporting, thought their farmers
wanted and needed all-purpose
spraying equipment. The largest
group (33 percent approved high
pressure equipment capable of 800
TO 400 pounds pressure.
The preferred rate of application
for weed control chemicals in water
was 10 gallons per acre. Forty-one
percent of the agents approved the
10-gallon rate, while 80 percent fav-
Ored the 5-gallon per acre appica-
ton rate. Tractor mounted sprayers
were preferred by So percent of the
agents.
May through August was the main
weed control spraying season for the
~ states. Insect control work con-
tinues the year around, but the re-
port indicated the most active season
was from May through September.
Nozzle clogging was the leading
complaint about the operation of
gprayers. Better strainers, filters and
chemicals are expected to reduce this
complaint in the coming season,
equipment manufacturers indicate.
The need for more rugged booms
and more versatile equipment was
also pointed out.

Put New Shingles
Right Over Old

MANY FARM BUILDINGS need a
new roof-a job that's a ''cinch"
when you merely put new roofing
shingles over the old ones, recon-
mended Morris Whiteman, agricul-
tural engineer of the Wyoming Agri-
cultural Extension service.
If the old roof framing is strong
enough to bear the additional weight,
use fireproof shingles of various
types and ordinary weight. Putting
on new shingles increases stiffness
and adds to the insulation effect of
the roof itself.
To prepare the old roof for setting
on the new one:
Replace missing shingles and fiat
ten curled ones.
Nail in place old, loose shingles.
BY cutting away Pinch strip of
old shingles along all edges of the
roof and filling in with Pinch strips
of wood having the same thickness
as the old roof-a solid mailing strip
for new shingles will be provided,
Whiteman says.

One bunch was reported at Bill

The important thing is to get out
in the fields as soon as the snow goes
off and look carefully for the worms.
Where there are large numbers of a
green, grayish worm up to an inch

that they win be army cutworms.

For any bands that get away and

The vote to strike was taken at
