The institute's report reveals that 94.3 percent of the farms thus classified in the state- are served with electricity.

S. bureau of census because about 400,000 farms enumerated by the census actually have no houses at all on them and of the total farms in the United States, 40 percent have dwellings valued at less than $500." George M. Gadsby, President of the Utah Power & Light company, in commenting on the report, praised the enterprise of the; farmers in bringing about this high percentage of electrification in the state. He asserted the rapid extension of electric service to farms in Utah has been accelerated by cooperative ef fort of farmers and power companies.
