The future of his farm depends on many things—
one of the most important being a continued source of
dependable, low-cost electric power .. .
As the demands of a growing nation increase,
farms must become more efficient, more productive
- .. And just as Rural Electrification has brought
great advances in farm operation during the past quar
ter-century, so does it stzrr readv to serve the needs
of the future.
»
The job is not . « . .. SomMe areas are now
“under-powered”, and lines must be heavied-up to
meet the demand. A strong Rural Electric System,
supported actively by its Member-Owners, is the best
guarantee that there will be “a farm in his future!”
