"The problem of reaching farms in 'thinner' ten dory, however, is bein? solved in several ways.

The heed for plentiful supplies of low-cost power is so great that more and more attention has been given to this phase of KEA's responsibility. "Total power consuiliptiun by the KEA-linancecl cooperatives h a s doubled in the past three vears and we expect that it will double a;'.ain in the next three.'' Mr. Wkk.trtl said.

For they are measured in terms of sound timbers and rust-free nail heads. Such structural conditions inen long-lived buildings. In most cases, the culprit respon sible for the decay of wooden sup ports 1$ excessive moisture. This is a rather common condition in interiors ot poorly ventilated structures. Dairy barn and poultry houses, in particu lar, are constantly being subjected to blasts of moisture laden air the re sult of the condensation of the breath of cows and chickens. Unless this heavy concentration of moisture is dealt with promptly and effectively. it will settle just where it shouldn't on rafters, walls, lofts and ceilings. The accumulation of dampness and frost in buildings is injurious to work men and stock alike. The answers to Such problems lie in the installation of an adequate ventilation system. Ventilation systems for dairy barns employ fans of 120 to Vi horsepower. They are located so as to draw air out of structures at a point or points near the floor. The fanj should have a capacity of 60 cubic feet per minute per 1,000 pound cow. If intakes are used, it is recommended that they be located high enough in the wall so as to deliver air against the ceding, thus eliminating drafts. In poultry house ventilation sys tems, it is suggested that the fan be installed in the sidewall of the build ing away from ttie prevailing wind, if possible. It is usually located near the ceiling with a short duct extend ing to within 20 inches of the floor to remove the coldest air from the pen. The capacity of the fan is fig ured on a basis of 23 of a cubic foot of air per minute for each one square foot ot floor area. There should be one intake opening for each 230 squa.o feet of floor area. Ventilation systems cost compara tively little to operate. Electricity used In dairy barn systems averages about 2 kilowatt hours per cow. And for poultry houses, tests show that an average of 2 kilowatt hours of power are consumed per day in the operation of a 12-inch fan in venti lating a structure housing 500 birds. Two Canton boys hold the high est honors the Boy Scouts of Amer ica can award. At the Pigeon River District Court of Honor last Monday night, B. M. Smathers of Troop 16 and Barry Pate of Troop 1 were in vested as Eagle Scouts. Scout Smathers was presented the certificate indicative of his award from Bill Franklin, his uncle, and received his pin insignia from his grandmother, Mrs. J. B. Smath ers. Scout Pate, son of Dr. and Mrs J. Frank Pate of Canton, received his award from his pastor, the Rev. C. W. Kirby, of the Central Metho dist Church, His mother pinned the insignia on liim. Other Scouts of troops through out Haywood County were honored that night for their services, accom plishments and loyalty to their or ganization. Eagle Scout Richard Rowe, also of Canton Troop 10, was presented the Bronze Palm by Scout Execu tive Bob Garner of Daniel Boone Council headquarters at Asheville.

I PREVOST, Alderman 1886 A 22-29 S 6-12-19 celeration during 1948 and 1949 is largely the result of loans approved during 1946 and 1947. REA's borrowers are now ener gizing lines at a rate of 13,700 miles a month and connecting 40, 200 consumers a month. Kroni June 30, 1948, to March 31, 1949, the REA borrowers energized 123,000 miles of line and added 362,000 consumers. This expansion is greatest in States where rural electrification progress has been the least dur ing the previous 13 years, notably the Dakotas. During the first eight months of this fiscal year, the co operatives in North and South Da kotahave increased the number of rural consumers served by 43.9 and 45.2 per cent. Three other States reported increases of 20 per cent or more in that period Arizona 37.3, Kansas 20.7, and Kentucky 20 per cent. The demand for extension of electric service continues unabated despite the number and amount of loans approved by REA during the past four years. While REA lias ap proved loans totaling $3677,277.597 since June 30, 1948, the backlog of pending applications has in creased from $363,031,000 last June to $384,207,000 as of April 29. REA still had. on May 6, approximately $127,691,430 of authorized loan funds left. One of the remarkable records made by the cooperatives during the past 14 years is their repay ment of their loans. Through March 31, 1949, the borrowers had repaid the Government $193,733, 159 on principal and interest, in cluding prepayments of $18,608,509 on principal. The amount overdue more than 30 days was approxi mately six tenths of one percent of the loan payments which had fal len due. The average REA-financed co operative Is now operating a busi ness with an investment of approxi mately $1,210,000. It operates 800 miles of line and serves 2,000 farms and 750 other establishments, such as churches, schools, stores, rural industries and non-farm rural homes.
