I* THE WAT AUG A Ietpower with highway lights Electric Service for Farmers Might Follow Road Lighting Anywhere, as in New York. Electric service for farroa is usually unavailable without special el rte on tb^ part of the farmers unless there la an electric light and power company with electric distribution lines running within reach of the farm. Yet the experience met with in territory near Buffalo, N. Y.. suggests a method ol automatically securing the extension of the necessary power lines so that farmers who dealre the advantages of electricity can be connected up. This possibility is bound up with the Installation of high intensity road lighting units. The illumination of many country highways in the tows* of Amherst and Tonawanda, outside of Buffalo, has caused distribution lines to be run alone roads which previously were without them, and the t\r.r> i. fl V, A f'.rmin? bf-en two fo'.d In consequence. The fanners bare bad a finely lighted road, and they have been able to *ecure r electric service on their farms. I The installation is not yet comi pleted in these towns, hot as far as it j has gone every farm house aiong the t read* illuminated has been wired for , electric lights as well aa outhouses. , A number of these farms are dairy . farms, and these agriculturists have put in electric motors, by means of which they are operating milking machines. feed cutters and grindfrs All this work therefore. Is loe being dene by electricity on these farms And the dairymen are jubilant over the situation because It has solved a! cos 6trokc a most serious problem They had been finding it almost im possible to secure gafflc.lent hired help It was coming to such a that my dairymen were worried ri?x7 and night over It Now ttyey are berrying - tio more.
