Soon al most all American farms will either be using central station power, or will have it available. And, in indus try, dependable power service is as vital as is the blood stream to a living being. Our leadership in electrification is unquestioned. American power production in the year which ended this September was more than the entire world pro duction in 1929. We generate five times as much electri city as the next ranking nation, Russia. Free enterprise did all this — not government, not dictators. It gives us the finest electric service on earth for about a third as much as we spend for tobacco.
