Excerpt from Electricity on Farms in the Eastern Livestock Area of Iowa: A Progress ReportFollowing is a partial list of new electrical equipment installed in 1947 on the 314 farms that had been electrified before January 1, 1943, 34 water heaters (in dwellings), 32 ranges, 46 refrigerators, 20 freezer cabinets, 12 milking machines, 24 cream separators, and 15 tank heaters.This equipment would use enough energy to average about 43 kilo watt-hours a month for the 314 farms in the group. In other words, the average consumption in December 1947 would have been about 43 kilo watt-hours higher than in the preceding January, solely because of the use of the indicated equipment bought in 1947. Average consumption by these 314 older electrified farms was 58 kilowatt-hours higher in December 1947 than in January 1947 It is apparent, therefore, that most Of this difference may be accounted for by the addition of new equipment rather than by seasonal use of equipment already installed.The dates of acquisition of small appliances - heating pads, radios, and food mixers - were not Obtained, but undoubtedly a large number of these were installed in 1947.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
