Excerpt from Electricity on Farms in Northwestern Washington Little information has been available until' recently concerning uses of electricity, either in homes or on farms. Specifically, little is known as to the uses Of electricity as related to the economic characteristics of farms; as to factors affecting the extent of use; as to changes in farm organization made as a result of availability of electric energy; and as to the cost of electricity to farmers. Information relating to these questions is needed if farmers and farm leaders are to keep abreast Of modern develop ments in agricultural production. The information is needed also to provide a better basis for the extension of distribution lines into rural areas and for adjusting system design to meet the requirements Of the area to be served. Finally, information is needed to indicate probable future growth in the use of electricity on farms as a part Of the over-all planning process for adequate generating, transmission, and distribution facilities.
