Lights flicked on in a very
special home somewhere in the
United States last week. No one
is quite sure just who he was,
but someone, probably a farmer,
last week was consumer two mil
lion in the power program fi
nanced by the Rural Electrifica
tion Administration.
Last week’s farmer got his
service just about 12 years be
hind the first man on REA’s lists.
To get to him, the REA has added

during the work week of the
present fiscal year.
When REA was created in
1935, only 10 percent of Ameri
ca’s farm homes had central sta
tion electric service. To date,
REA, which includes 46 states,
Alaska and the Virgin islands,
has brought light to about 60 per
cent of these farm homes.
REA’s electrification program
was prompted by the farmer’s
need in the rural areas. Electric
co-ops, public utility districts fi
nanced by REA exist solely to
provide service to farms and
other rural establishments.
A co-op builds an electric sys
tem, opeartes it (without profit)
and maintains it through a loan
secured through REA. This co-op
is locally owned and managed
by the members.
