Electricity Can Change Farming, 1935

March, 1935, issue of the Carolina Co-Operator (formerly The Carolina Cotton Grower)

Electricity may soon replace elbow grease for churning, food mixing, washing, milking, grinding, pumping water and in doing a number of other farm chores, thinks David S. Weaver, of State College, projects director for the State rural electrification committee. For the rural people of the state have awakened to the possibilities of electricity, he says, and are now awaiting the time when they can secure an abundance of inexpensive power through the extension of transmission lines into their communities from nearby power sources.

It may be that funds from various sources will be available to rural communities before long to help in financing the construction of rural lines, he said. However, there is still uncertainty about these funds.
