POLICY fMlll'IB
ELECTRIC FARMS
'General Electric Co-operating to
i Make Electricity Available
, ... in Agriculture. ,
Extending electric service to the 6.
500,000 farms of the United States has
been made one of the principal ob
jectives of the General Electric Com
pany, which is desirous of seeing this
Immense market and field of useful
. ness made accessible. It is the belief
of men at the head of that company
that the way will be found to take
electricity to the farmer on a profit-
file economic 'basis, and that when
Is way Is discovered, the complete
revolutionizing of farm life will result.
Practical difficulties have delayed
farm electrification. Even where high
'voltage transmission lines are carried
through agricultural sections, farms
are usually so widely separated as to
make economical electric service to
them impractical.
Transformer Cost a Problem
To . build step-down transformer
substation to serve a single farm costs
nearly as much as one to supply a hun
dred farms. Transformers 'are essen
tial in tapping a high-voltage trans
mission line.
The farmer's problem is to get elec
tric service at a cost low enough to
make it profitable for him to use. The
utility company's problem is to supply
the service at a cost that will enable
it to net a fair return on the invested
capital. Agricultural machinery manu
facturers and electrical manufacturers
have before .them the problem of de
signing implements and appliances for
use in farm work that will be low in
.cost and high in efficiency.
A recent organization known as the
Committee on the Relation of Elec
tricity to Agriculture is tackling these
basic problems of farm electrification.
This committee represents several in
terested parties on both sides of the
house the farmers who will use the
electric service and the manufactur
ing and business interests who will
supply it.
Have Farm Women In Mind
Taking the drudgery out of women's
work on the farm is, In the opinion
-greater economic and social necessity
1 than the improvement of the tools
used by the farmer himself. .
An Important feature of the General
Electric farm electrification, program
which opens up huge possibilities is
highway lighting. Research by the
lighting experts at Schenectady has
developed a highly efficient and eco-
named the Novalux unit. A dozen or
so, of these along a mile of country
road turn it into a white way.

SEEING WHAT
I YOU LOOK FOR
By THOMAS A. CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
lit: V
iiiinuu. jj;
I DON'T believe I ever found a foufr

lived for years In the midst of clover
fields. I knew a girl once who could
reach 'dow into, any stray bunch of
grass and pick out a half-dozen four-
leafed clovers with unerring accuracy.
I suppose the explanation is that she
was looking for them and I was not.
The same thing is true with refer
ence to other experiences in life. The
man who is looking for trouble finds
it at every street corner and at every
cross roads. The sensitive soul who
is watching out for slights and -personal
grievances is invariably reward
ed by finding them at his elbow. '
"You hurt my feelings by what you
wrote the other day," an acquaint
ance said to me.
I "How Is that?" I asked.
"Eecause you used my foibles as an
illustration."
"But I did not," I replied. "I did
not hay the least idea that wtiat I
said would apply to you." She was
simply looking for personal thrusts,
and she found them.
A good deal of our unhappiness
comes from grievances; or slights, or
troubles, or "disasters that we have
looked for that we have ferreted out
and forced out of coven If we had
gone ahead cheerfully and happily we
should have passed them . by unob
served. '
I know people who see no gbod In
each other because they are constant
ly looking for evil; who turn every
word-and 'intonation and suggestion
and unconscious act into something
that is vindictive and calculating.
Each finds a subtle irritating double
meaning at every word, or suggestion
that the other utters, and all because
he is looking for. it. '-
The .opposite of this is true. There
is a sort of unsophistication that does
not see vulgarity or deceit or. evil of
any kind; that knows nothing of un
faithfulness, or disloyalty, or cause
for depression and discouragement be-
cause it is not expecting them; it is
not looking for them. "
A young friend of mine had recent
ly been with a crowd in which there
had been considerable drinkftg.
"I hope. you. were-not too shocked
by the drinking," I said to him. But
he really had never seen it; he did not
know about it; it had made no impres
sion on him because his thoughts had
been above it he had not been look
ing for it.
The wjprld in which we live is a
very real world it is full of pain and
pleasure; N)f faithfulness and deceit,
of truth and falsehood, of the sweet
and the bitter, the .vulgar and the re
fined, the beautiful and the ugly, but
thereality is largely within us. We
see-what we're looking for. .

Gossiping.
Gossiping is causing us vastly more
trouble than is the drinking of1 intox
icating liquors, and not a little of this
evil is done by people who are num
bered a's Christians and who really
intend to do right. It is a trait of
human nature one that needs to be
held firmly in check' for us to take
pleasure in showing what we, know,
it. comes so natural for'-.is lo repeat
the story of evil which is told us
about our neighbor that we may not
stop' to ask, "What good wilt come of
my telling "this?" '
What 'we hear about, we think
about, and. what we think we do. So
by repeating the stories of wrongs
done by others you lend your influ
ence toward making sinners of your
hearers. Do not help the devil to
advertise.
. Three are many reasons why gos
siping is bad. It is telling things
which you .do not know to be true
which makes you partly responsible
for. a lie. It causes trouble between
neighbors "woe to him by whom th'e
offence cometh." It is cowardly, for
it 'gives your neighbor a Mow" of
which he knows nothing. Those who
gossip arc likely to pronounce some
condemnation of their fellow man.
Are they so perfect that they have a
right to sit in God's judgment scat?
There are many texts bearing on
this subject. A few that we wish you
to consider specially are here given:
A tale-bearer revcaleth secrets,
but he. thai is of a faithful. spirit con
tcalcth the matter."
"Whoso kcepcth his mouth and his
tongue, keepeth his soul from
trouble."
"Who shall abide in Thy taber
nacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy
hill? He. that walketh uprightly and
worketh righteousness, and speaketh
the truth in his heart. He that back
biteth not With his tongue, nor daeth
evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a
reproach against his neighbor.'.'
"By thy wprds thou shalt be justi
fied and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned."
"If any man among you seem to be
religious' and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his heart, that mart's
religion is vain." X-RAY.

Lime Pays With Clover.'
Lincplnton, N. C, June 9.' "On
Thursday I saw one of the most
striking examples of how lime pays
with red clover that I have ever
seen," says County Agent J. G. Mor
rison of Lincoln County. "This (km
onstration is on the farm of. Mike
Kiser near Reepsville. Last year Mr.
Kiser had an eight-acre Field sowed
fo wheat. On six of these acres he
broadcasted two tons to the acre of
ground limestone, leaving two acres
without lirue. He then planted red
clover, on the land putting all of his
clover in on the same day under the
same conditions withvthe exception
that part of the land i li
two acres were not.
med and
"At. the time, of my visit, the clover
on the limed land was over two feet
high and just as thick as it could
stand on the ground. Where he did
not lime, the clover was only about
ten inches high, thin on the ground
and cf a yellowish, unhealthy' color."
i According to 'Mr. Morrison, this
demonstration by Mr. Kiser i.s prov
irg'lof value, in 'showing , that clovers
and other legumes do best where the
k'.ivd has been properly limed. Mr.
Kiser's expeience is being duplicated
by many other farmers over, the
State' according to reports from other
county 'agents. The reports show
that Tarheel farmers are finding that
the best way. to have more fcrile
soils and to gradually build up their
.lands is by using the tandem team of
litne and. ' legumes.' A number of
dembnstratious show that lime is
necessary for the best growth of
most legumes and the legumes, in
turn, when plowed under and incor
porated into the soil help to make
the crops following return greater
average yields.
