Jam and Scenes
Mrs. J. B., WdShinoton

It seems to me that late
last winter, I saw some rec
ipies for strawberry jam,
made with frozen berries and
pectin. ! would be obliged
to hear from some contrib
utors who have had good
luck with these menu bright
eners. Also. has anyone had
any luck in making scones
in quantity?

How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming :. like any other industry
needs the eficiencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs sales de-
partment and purchasing department
>. someone to counsel on insurance
and credit :. and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If 1t weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve tho
quality of produce and sell it at tho
most favorable prices. Mutual ii1sur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and w. 'hle.

ONE THIRD INCREASE IN
GENERATING CAPACITY

By interconnecting two Fort Peck
Dams the combined firm power is
not 100000 XIV but $4,000 XIV, a
gain of $4,000 XIV of generating
capacity.
In this way the Columbia River
grid system has increased the load
carrying firm capacity about 20 %.
Further increases would result from
inter-regional interties.
This means more power at lower
cost if one more condition is met.
The transmission lines must be in
public hands.
Montana needs an integrated fed
eral Giant Power grid system includ-
ing the Missouri Columbia intertie.
Summarizing, have tried to show
that Montana has great water power
resources which can be used to pro-
duce an abundance of low cost power
to get the Montana economy rolling.
These power potentialities need to
be publicized and promoted.
Second, we need to promote Giant
Power transmission lines such as a
federal line interconnecting the Co.
lumbia and Missouri systems.
Third we need thorough investi-
cation of electric power supply and
rates in Montana. A good study will
show the course of action needed to
best serve the public.
Fourth, the rural electric co-opera-
lives of Montana need legislative |
so they can better serve
IN a truly area coverage basis.
In conclusion, l submit that the
electric power issue is the central
ssue in natural resources develop
nent in Montana looking toward the
olution of the double waste of people
nd natural resources so as to achieve
he full employment of both Montana
oungsters and to keep the benefits
resource development in the state.
hereby the state can move toward
ne ideal of conservation which is the
Use use of natural resources for the
reatest good of the largest number
pr the longest time.

USING Natural Resources

This leverage of high voltage can
be used in four ways or combinations
of these four ways:
First, high voltage is pressure which
enables you to transmit greater dis
tances, about two miles for every
thousand volts. Thus 100000 volt
line can push power about 1000
miles.
Second, you can send more power.
A 100000 volt line will handle L.
100000 kilowatts or the output of
five Yellowtail Dams.
Third, the line losses are reduced
sharply.
Fourth, the unit cost of transmits
sion are much lower.

from page
higher cost power than would be
achieved by public power. (6.4 mills
per XVIII, as compared with AZ mills.)
So in the interest of private en-
terprise the conservative Social
, Credit Party decided to change
British Columbia into public pow
err province.
The facts on Montana's residential
and industrial rates are covered in
some studies which prepared this
summer and which your excellent
paper, THE PEOPLES VOICE, has
reprinted. Copies of the reprint are
available. s
The facts on electric rates and I'M
developed water power and the rela-
tionship to job opportunities need to
be researched here in Montana and
widely publicized. A real investiga-
tion is needed. am confident that
a full scale conservatively done in
vestigation will show what course of
action should be taken.

VERY ATTRACTIVE
BENEFIT-COST RATIO

These advantages add up to a very
important conclusion: Transmission
| line investment almost always has q
very attractive benefit-to-cost ratio
Right now in the Pacific Northwest
1 would normally give preference to
$50 million investment in transmits
sion as compared to $100 million
investment in, new dams.
Also transmission intertie may,
in effect, produce or make avail
able more power than if you put
twice as much money in dam. We
figure the California intertie is
worth two Bonneville Dams and
Missouri intertie is worth a yell
lowtail Dam.
Let's see why this is. California
has summer peak loads. The Pacific
Northwest has winter peaks. An in
terrific enables the same generators
to carry both peaks.
A Missouri intertie would cross
three time zones and permit sending
power back and forth according to
the changing needs, for example,
when peaks are caused by housewives
cooking supper, the peak load goes
from east to west like ripple.
Another advantage from transmits
sion interties is from power pooling.
When we depend on an isolated power
plant, we must consider the biggest
generator in that plant as a spare,
even when there is plenty water.
Thus when Fort Peck was an isolated
dam with one $4,000 XIV and two
$4,000 XIV units, one of the big units
was considered a dump power gen.
orator. The firm power of Fort Peck
vas only $4,000 XIV although $4,000
wv was installed.

Cents per XVIII

Compare these co-ops' rates with
the average residential rate of 2.40
cents of Montana Power Co. MPCo.,
like these co-ops, buys Hungry Horse
BPA power-to the tune of about
1s of a billion kilowatthours an
nually, and at a lower rate of 2.5
mills because of it's volume purchase.
Yet, instead of reducing rates be-
tween 1852 and 1860, MPCo. raised
electric rates at total cost to Mon
tana Power patrons of 1872 million
annually.)
Later this year we hope to
publish broader study of rural cleo
trio rate progress in Montana.
THE GIANT POWER AGE
Let me turn now to new dimen-
sion, one that / barely mentioned in
my talk at Bohemian four years ago,
that is the Giant Power transmission
line concept.
What is Giant Power? 1t is the
pooling of power from many general
ing systems by building high voltage
transmission lines. A $50 mile line
is proposed from the Columbia River
to Los Angeles. We think similar
federal line should be built to inter-
connect the Columbia River and Mis-
souri, River power systems SO that |
all federal dams are interconnected.
We understand that one horseback
survey shows that the Columbia-Mis-
souri, intertie would firm up as much
power as that of Yellowtail Dam,
about 100000 kilowatts. The Board
of Trustees of the Northwest Public
Power Association adopted resolu-
ton on November 9th, just nine days
ago, urging federal intertie between
these two great power systems.
1t is interesting to reflect how
the developing technology of high
voltage transmission has changed
our thinking. When Congress ;
passed the Bonneville Act in 1887, !,
just "a years ago, the term "eco-
nomic transmission distance" meant
about 200 miles. Today this is about
1000 miles.
The Giant Power idea rests on the Q
nipple fact of physics that as we I
louble the voltage, the same con- Il
luctor can carry four times as much "a
'ower. When we quadruple the volt o
ge from $4,000 to 100000 volts, f
re can carry 16 times as much power. =
additionally, we now have larger
onductors and we can always double
he carrying capacity again by shift
lg from AC to DC power.

RURAL ELECTRICS, THE
ONE BRIGHT SPOT

One truly bright spot in the Mon
tana picture is rural electrification.
The % rural electric co-operatives
were serving 50,915 consumers at
the end of 1860 or 21.8To of all
Montana consumers. These consumers
owned electric systems are, doing a
good job in the rural area where the
job is tough. These rural electric
systems have good experience in oper-
ating electric facilities in the public
interest. They e d legislative
strengthening so that they can also
serve in towns and cities on a truly
area coverage basis.
The reprint from THE PEOPLES
VOICE particularly shows how the
co-operatives in western Montana
have reduced the residential price of
power.
(These four rural electrics and
their average rate residential reduc-
tons between 1862 and 1860 are:
