n,* h'hat’C REA’s piece in the rural
power field?
A, REA, a Government agency, lends
money to groups of rural people,
mainly cooperatives, to enable them
to build rural electric lines, 'and
buy or generate the electricity they
need for their farms and homes. The
money is loaned at low interest-prates
and paid back ovei a long period.REA
itself, is not in the business of
generating or distributing power*It
has helped more then a million farm
families to got electric service..
I know electricity makes farm life
easier, but can it help me to make
more money?
A« les; electricity when wisely used '
is a money-maker for farmers. Electri
power saves you hr rd hand labor and
your time as well. Efficient, safe,
reliable electric heat, light, and
motive power will help you to in
crease production in many ways, re
gardless of what type of farming you
do. It preserves food and reduces
spoilage. It helps you tO' market a
higher quality product that brings
higher prices. ;ith this added in
come, you and ^our family will be
aided in buying tiose comforts and
conveniences for “/hjch you have wait—
led so long.
R« How do these cooperative electric
|systems work?
jA. .You, as a member, have an equal
jVoico and vote with others in your
Ico—op*s affairs. I embers elect their
jown board of directors, which in
;turn engages an experienced manager
to operate the business under the
board*s supervision and with the
Assistance and advice of REA.
hhen the co-op has pc id its debt to
the Government, you and your neighbors
own your power system free and clear.
bounds fine, but do these cooper
atives really work?
A. The record speaks for itself. As
of April 30,1945, the 908 REA borrow
ers, of whom 835 are farmer-owned co
operative systems, had built 418,176
niles of line which were serving
about 1,260,000 consumers. And as of
^arch 31,1945, these 908 borrowers
lad paid back *>90,874,628.17 to REA.
Fheir loan schedules called for pay
nent of only ^72,334,787.66 as of
bhat date, so they are in good finan
cial shape.
