Snow quer ied, tie answered in the negative. "if I thought conditions and hu . man ingenuity would remain sta tionary I would say we might reach saturation In a few years. But we know conditions are changing; we may expect ! to con tinue to approach 100 per cent electrification of rural areas from central lines." v " First Line in 1906 . ' . t ; Snow -told his listeners that the first electric distribution -line to f serve farmers was built in the I Hood River valley in 1906. Stth- - sequent development of service to v farmers resulted from experimen- - tation and studv bv the , electric utilities, long before- there was a aemana xrom farmers ior service. ... - Development of electrical serv; ice to . farmers., has. always been considerably dependent upon eco nomic factors, Snow declared.: The rural electrification an thority, created thr.ee years agff by the federal government, has not developed in this -territory "to any considerable' proportions' - Snow said. He said the reason REA had not been pressed in the sive service now given rural cus tomers. He complimented the an . thority for, work in other states where energy for farm use was not yet available in many districts., . -Snow pointed out that the abll lty of farmers to purchase power was dependent in part upon, the : economic ..territory- of the area s e r v e d the .distance between farmers, the type and fertility of soil ajxrthe. general; level-of farm income. . ;' ; . -Kan&ans End Visit .'
