ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM RELIEVES MANY TASKS AROUND . V^IVE WHU Otifty one fttfrrn in ten In Wfeois is equipped for electric or gas service, according to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural foundation. Figures recently studied show that of the 237,181 farms in the state, only 23,273 farms, or 9.8 per cent, make use of electricity and gas, and cf this number 2,201 receive central station service. While the number of Illinois farms having gas and electricity is somewhat above the figure for the United States, it is comparatively low when placed alongside the fact that 73.2 per cent of the farms having telephone service and 62.7 per cent that have automobiles, states the foundation. This gives rise tp speculation as to whether the farmer is content to sacrifice greater comfort and convenience m&de possible by electricity and gas in favor of rapid communication and transportation that the telephone and auto make possible. The big drawback to more general use of e'ectricity on farms in the state up to the pflfesent has been the high prices made necessary for its delivery into distant sections, and this has served to discourape many from the use of 't. states the foundation. Independent plants for the individual farms have proven popular in some localities, and experiments now being conducted on farms in several states are expected to throw new light on this problem and electrical engineers predict as great a revolution in the use of electricity in the countyr in the coming decade as was noted in the past decade in the city. . ^ While electricity on the farm is used mostly for lighting purposes, the farmer with this power at his command has been able to be relieved of many of the tasks arQund the home place, according to the foundation. Electricity does not only pump water for the home, drive the washing machine, heat the electric iron, run the vacuum cleaner, charge the radio and automobi'e batteries, but it has brought-efficiency with it by lighting the yard, stabljs and lofts, drive the milking machine, the cream separator, the churn, the grindstone and emery wheel and the general utility motor. Electricity .has also been used to light poultry houses as a stimulant to egg production, to operate incubator ventilation and controls and occasionally for grinding feed, sawing wood, as well as hoisting hay and grain.
