In North Carolina Samarcand

shining door of hope to wayward

Everything about the place shows I
thrift and expert management, and t
the whole institution throughout J s

The girls attend to them and appear
to take a pride in this line of work.

hv tH? vbok> rsroieet of farm elec- !
trincatioa. Why is it, m*ny farmera
have asked that it east* more g
to supply electric service k> rural c
districts than to city homes? n
Here is the answer, as summed
up by Prof. E. A. Stewart, of the
University of Minnesota, project
director of the Red Wing erperi- c
mental line: 1
1. In rural districts the customer
thus far has used materially
less electricity per month than has
the city customer.
2. In the country the average j .
is th^-oe customers to the rode, j
whereas in the city there arc from
j 30 to 200 to the mile.
2 The cost of distributing elec!
trieity is everywhere greater that: j
the cost of generating it, in city
and country both.
4. If electricity could be generated
for nothing the problem of
economically supplying it to farms
would remain unaltered.
