hired man on the farm.
From molasses heaters to peach
defuzzers, farmers are making new
and varied uses of this unique and
wonderful power that turns on
and off automatically or at the flip
of a switch.
Electromagnetic for catching
pieces of metal, walnut dryers,
bull ~exerciSerS, manure pumps,
ox-grub removers, cattle trainers,
orchard fans, sweet potato curers,
beehive heaters, hog callers, fish
barriers, earthworm catchers, hu-
name electricution of farm animals
and poultry, and tank farming
without soil all are some more
unique uses for electricity on the
farm.
Farmers, faced with the problem
of getting adequate help on the
farm, are finding new electrical
hands" a fair substitution for the
hired man. In fact the symbol of
rural identification is a loveable
little character called Willie
Wiredhand. Plenty of ever-ready
electrical power, ready at the flip
of a switch to be converted into
light, heat, IT power is a must for
the widespread automation of
work around the farmstead.
For instance, a single worker
today in Georgia handles 10000
broilers with ease. Another man
in Florida cares for 10000 laying
hens and the $500 eggs they shell
out a day.
SoilleSs Farming With Electricity
A dollhouse method of soilleSS
farming in Illinois produces a tor
of succulent green forage annually
in a space only 242 feet square.
A dairyman in California, using
a double herringbone milking par
lor and pipeline mixers, can milk
as many as 60 COWS an hour, near
ly 10 times the number that coulC
be MIXED by hand.

Some folks think the job of
electrifying rural America is about
done, now that more than $3.50 of
all the farms, homes, schools,
churches, and businesses-outside
the city limits-are being served
with low cost electric light and
power.
Not so says Robert M. St. Cyr
of Lower Yellowstone r. E. A.
Even more costly and difficult
years lie ahead. "We must run,
just to stand STILL" he insists, "be-
cause heavying-up our lines to
meet ever increasing demands for
more kilowatt hours is a never
ending job"
Most folks back in '35 including
the so-caned experts, ~"guesstim-
ated" that a farmer could possibly
use as much as 90 to 100 XVIII a
month. That was when the aver
age farm with central station cleo
tricity was using about so XVIII per
month. They figured he might in
stall a few 25 watt bulbs, throw
away the battery for his old radio,
and buy his wife an electric iron.
They didn't know Mrs. Farmer.
They didn't realize that to her,
good f%rigeration is much more i'm
portant than it is to city folks.
So a freezer followed her refrig-
orator.
Then the electric water pump
and heater brought a wave of
washers and dryers. The auto
matte electric range replaced
the old coal, wood, and oil stoves
and on, and on.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Farmer found
ways to milk his COWS, feed and
water his stock, move heavy crops
into the silo and mow-cut hand
labor drastically with electric
power. This cost less, made him
happier, and saved his back.
The result? Well, today, the
average American farmer uses
four to five times as much cleo
tricity as even the most optimistic
The Sidney herald., 1960-05-04

say the average yearly consump-
ton by all consumers on lines
financed by REA loans will hit
14,400 kilowatt hours by 1875. This
is approximately IA times the total
capacity Of earliest rural electric
Lines.
With prices of materials and
labor up sharply, heavying-up and
improving service with the latest
modern equipment may we'll cost
more than the original lines.
AS one spokesman for the rural
electric systems put it: "ThiS spells
out the need for continued loans
from R.E.A. Americas Rural Ele-
ctric Systems today own on the
average only 1872 percent of their
systems. Because of this fact, there
is little possibility. that they can
obtain the necessary funds for
growth and expansion form priv
ate sources. 1t necessarily follows
that needed funds must come from
the Rural Identification Admins
tration, which already holds the
first mortgage on all property of
the borrowers"

$50 WAYS TO Use ELECTRICITY
ON THE FARM AND IN THE HOME

Who would have guessed 25
years ago that we would ever find
as many as 200 uses for electricity
on the farm? Those were the DAYS
when seasoned electric company
executives laughed as REA eng
ineers predicted some day u. S.
Farmers might use an average of
90 to 100 kilowatt hours of electri-
city a month!
Use of electricity today has pass
ed the widest dreams of 1885.
Researchers in the United States
Department of Agriculture now
point to more than $50 different
applications of electricity on the
farm and in the farm home.
These new uses and big Stepur
in the consumption of electricity
on farms is part of American
agriculture's move to mechanic
and substitute power and mach
inery for human labor both ON the
farm and in the home.
