River Electric Membership Cor
poration of Raeford, President Ci
A. Alford of Rowland announced.
About 2,500,000 of the nation’s
farms still do not .have service,
according to the figures received
by President Alford. Gi^eat pro
gress has been ^ade, however,
during 4he past 12 years, when
the percentage of farms with
electricity increased from 10.9%
in 193>5 to 57.4% as of the first

the fjgure has risen from 3.2% in
1935^ 49.1% now, Mr. 'Alford

Membership Corporation has plans
for extending service to 1,000 ru
ral consumers -in Hoke, Robeson,
Scotland and Cumberland, most
of them farmers, withm the next
few, months, Mr. Alford reported,
and eventually it*expects to add
030 other .consumers, bringing
electric service to everyone in the
whole service area who want it.
Mr. Alford* reported that the co-^

financed with loans from the
Rural Electrification Administra
tion, now has 810 miles of line
serv'ing 2900 consumers in this
area.
“Our- construction program has
gone ahead much’slower than we
had -expected. Nevertheless, ,'we f(
hare added 1078 families to PifrJp
lines during the past 12 months.
We are building new lines just
as fast as we can accumulate
materials, men , arid money nec
essary to do the work. A year
ago we had about 2967 applicants
for service, and now we have
2061. Our principal difficulty at
