"You cannot afford not to have running water," he declared. The cos! of running water on the farm: five cents for 1,000 gallons "0 cents less than the average city dweller pays for the same amount. In regard to labor saving, he po'nled oul that a survey showed, for instance, that il took 109 hours if work lo give a cow the water she about 35 gallons a day on the farm. , Tessmann agreed that a Grade A farm could not afford to be without a running-water system or electricity- , I Every farmer, he added, can af ford electricity if he uses it ! properly.

The TVA engineer revealed that he was raised on a middle Virginia farm. just north of Hoxboro, N. C.
