almoet any o th e r piece of farm
equipm ent, you buy a com plete and
self-contained u n it th a t is ready to
operate a t the touch of a sta rte r, th e
tu g of a horse or a tu rn of the hand.
But electricity doesn’t come in a
single package. And th ere Is much
more to its proper use th a n ju st the
flip of a sw itch.
Like w ater flow ing in a pipe,
electricity Is a force w hich ru n s
th ro u g h a series of w ires to the
points w here it is used. If pipes are
too sm all, the flow of w ater will be
g rea tly decreased
(even en tirely
stopped) a t some points if too m any
o u tle ts are opened a t once. In the
same way, if wires are not su ffic ie n t
ly large, the lim ited am ount of elec
tric ity th a t can pass th ro u g h them
will re su lt in dimmed lig h ts and
generally u n satisfacto ry service w hen
several appliances a re used a t the
same tim e.
How can an am ple supply of elec
tric ity be assured a t all points a t all
tim es?
By good w iring, carefu lly

qu ately w iring your farm home and
buildings. Simply expressed, ade
q u ate w iring m eans:
A service en tra n ce of correct size
(cap acity ).
Enough circuits, each w ith th e
correct w ire size.
Special heavy-duty circu its and
outlets for range, w ater h eater and
large motors.
S ufficient o u tlets and sw itches,
conveniently placed.
If these are provided, and good
appliances are used, your electric
service will be safe, dependable, ec
onom ical and a source of co n stan t
.satisfaction.
But, you may say, all I w an t rig h t
now are lights, a radio and an elec
tric iron. I can ’t afford to com plete
ly electrify my farm a t one tim e.
I’ll have to w ait u n til la te r to buy
a refrig erato r, an au to m atic w ater
system and m uch o th er equipm ent I
w ju t and need. Why, then, should I
install such an elab o rate w iring sys

cheaper one and add to it as I buy
more appliances?

PART I
Every day. for the first time, more
