SEE round. away, but the power company has refused to build lines out to them for the very good reason that the potential business does not seem to warrant it. Power companies, despite the feelings of cranks and unreasonable people, are not In business for their health. Feeling that this Is a fair attitude of the company, the farmers, who want electricity and are willing to pay for it, band themselves together In a little group, go to the company officials and offer to buy power to be delivered at the nearest point on the company lines. Heres One Difficulty. The farmers themselves will build lines to their farms. To finance the construction they will borrow the money from the ItEA, who, theoretically, Investigates the group from every angle to make sure that the loan Is a sound one. There Is nothing very complicated about this, says Mr. Cooke. It Is not like launching a great new power project Involving millions. This whole operation will not exceed $20,000." Ah, but only part of the story has been told. The REA plans for these groups suggest that the farmers shall buy power from the company at wholesale rates, to be fixed by negotiation or by the states public service commission. Why not? Is the natural question, glancing at the case only suThese farmers who are perficially. have paid for the Installation of the line; are they not entitled to some sort of extra consideration for what they have done? It so happens that the other farmers who are already receiving current from the same power company at retail rates will. In effect, have paid for their lines, too. Why shouldnt they get wholesale rates? Actually, they have not, or have paid only In part. Here Is the way It works, although this must be taken as a hypothetical case, for all power companies do not have the same agreements with their farm customers. Who Pays for the Line? Let us say that the cost of a line built out to a farm Is $S00. The farmer, supplied for the sake of example by a middle western utility company which has been outstanding for Its rural electrification work, Is given 80 months in which to pay for the cost of the line. He pays for It by guaranteeing to use a monthly minimum of electricof ity equal In cost to the cost of the line, which In this case would be $10, until the 80 months are up. If he actually uses less than $10 worth of juice during a month, his bill Is $10 Just the same. But he Is entitled to all of the benefits every month that $10 worth of electricity will bring to him, so he might Just as well use It up. Its like going to a metropolitan theater restaurant where there Is a minimum charge of $2.50 a head; you can eat Just a sandwich If you want to, but your bill Is $2.50 Just the same ; If youre hungry, you might ns well eat a full dinner, for It Isnt going to cost you any more. And farm- ers today are really hungry for the benefits of electric power. If you take away my electricity, you can Just take tiie farm, too, Is tiie way Farmer Gtis Swanson of Fountain county, Indiana, puts it. Actually, a farmer buying power from a utility company on such an agreement Is paying for the cost of his line only if lie falls to use $10 worth of electricity each month. If Ids bill is $10, he gets back del lar for dollar In electric power. But If such a customer has a cousin or a friend over In the next county who Is a member of one of the REA groups and Is getting pow'er at a lower rate, power company officials would have about as much chance explaining the reason for that to him as they would have of making him underlie stand the Einstein theory. would Insist that he was paying for his line as surely as bis cousin, only In a different way. The Women Want It. This, then, is one of the obstacles that confront the REA ambitions, They are ambitions, however, that are worth struggling to attain. Ask any farmers wife. The worker in the city puts In 40 hours of labor every week; she works 64 hours. If she has a large family she probably works longer than that. If she has a small baby, $he works even longer. He gets paid; she doesnt. If she hasnt electricity to as slst her she has to do everything the hard way the tiring way that puts lines in her face long before she should have them. Yet housework Isnt all she has to do. About 20 per cent of her time Is taken up with actual farm work. Eighty-nin- e out of a hundred farm wives manage the hen houses. Sixty-si- x out of a hundred make butter. Do you think their lives wouldnt be heaven If they only had vacuum cleaners, washing machines, electric lroners, and the possession usually dearest to the heart of an electrified" farm housewife elec- tric refrigerators! In the state of Wisconsin It has been found that the farmer spends heavy goods equipment With low interest rates and a renewal of confidence, the stage Is set for a complete recovery and the end of tiie depression. Great Britain Is an outstanding example. Khe balanced her budget and confidence was restored there, with tiie result that there is prosperity In Great Britain, and her unemployment has been re duced by more than a million. Canada Is a young country which offers great opportunities. Our natural resources are practically unlimited, and we have a virile people. I am convinced that we are on the threshold of business expansion greater than we have ever seen. SILVER CHINA MOFFETT Federal Housing Administrator.

My impression Is that China, as a whole, Is not as badly off as many would hove us think. Generally, It Is better off than a year ago. Shanghai presents a totally different picture, suffering from the collapse of a real estate boom which was artificially developed when silver went down, and quite out of line with the fundamentals existing.
