Excerpt from Electricity in Agriculture Abroad, the use of electricity in connection with agricultural operations has attained dimensions of which residents in this country have no conception. Yet there is not the slightest reason why British farmers should not avail themselves of the manifold services which it can render them, even at the present time, whilst in the future - we wish we could say the near future - it is hoped that a supply of electricity will be made available in all parts of the land. In a few places, it is true, thanks to the energy and initiative of the managers of the local electricity supply undertakings, real progress has been made in acquainting the farmer with the possibilities and advantages of electrical methods, but these bright exceptions only emphasize the fact that, as a rule, this very important subject has been neglected by both parties - the farmer and the supply authority. There is hardly a branch of agriculture in which electricity cannot be employed to advantage, moreover, it immensely adds to the amenities of country life, and should therefore help to stem the flow of population from the country to the town. In these days of dear labour and falling prices, mechanical aids are imperatively necessary to the farmer, and by adopting electricity, he not only fulfills this requirement most efficiently, but also adds very materially to the comfort of his household.
