April 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 15 P. S. Company to Construct Model "Electric" Farm A model farm on which practically everything will be done electrically is being established by the Public Service company of Northern Illinois on an 80-acre tract about two miles directly west of Mundelein in the central por- tion of Lake county. "The company has felt for some time," said Vice President John G. Learned in announcing the project, "that application of electricity to farm practices has passed the experimental stage. The things we propose to do with electricity on this model farm can also be done in the same manner on any other farm in this region. The farm will be operated by a practical farmer, whose knowledge of electricity is comparable with that of the average layman. In other words, the methods and practices to be used on the model farm will not be such as to require special mechanical or electrical ability." Farm buildings will include a resi- dence, barn, garage, hog house, chick- en house, implement shed, farm office, brooder house, model dairy house, farm workshop, well-house, and silo. When completed the farm will serve both as a model electrical farm open for inspection and study, and as a practical farm to be operated on an efficient business basis. grade will be purchased for the farm, and horses will be kept for the com- paratively few field activities not done mechanically. Both the house and the barn will be wired according to Red Seal specifica- tions which provide for a definite num- ber of convenience outlets for the attachment of various appliances. It is believed that this will be the first barn ever wired under the Red Seal plan. Lee A. Huson, formerly of Volo and until recently connected with the Lake County Land association will operate the farm and take up residence there with his wife and two daughters. Mr. Huson is a practical farmed of broad experience. "Construction of the buildings will proceed as rapidly as possible," said Mr. Learned, "in order that actual operation may be started at the earliest possible date." Invite Local People to Vocational League Party The Vocational Supervision league is making extensive preparations for its annual card party which is schedul- ed to take place Thursday afternoon, April 26, at the Stevens hotel. Indi- vidual table prizes, favors and door prizes, contributed by leading mer- chants, promise to make it an unusual- ly attractive affair, Interested women from virtually every club in the city will be among the two thousand guests. Proceeds from the party will be expended for the league's scholarshin work, which consists in lending a helpful hand to worthy children of the working age who are eager to go on with their vocational training but un- able to do so without financial aid.
