A construction program recent-'
ly completed adds considerable ca-
pacity and coverage to the rural
area of Floyd, Hale, Swisher,
Ciosby, and Dickens counties.
For purposes of carrying high
voltage to the Floydada substation
four miles east of Floydada, the
Cooperative has built six miles of
22,000 volt transmission line to
connect* with the source of power
on the north edge of Floydada. Of
modern design and insulated for
33,000 volts it is expected to serve
the need for many years to come.
At the end of this transmission
line is located the substation of
sufficient size and capacity to
serve the east half of Floyd Coun-
ty and parts of Crosby and Dick-
ens counties. ,——*
This is a step taken to improve
the situation of having such long
distances across the, country to
patrol in case of trouble and also
give needed to Dougherty and to
members of the Cooperative who
wish to irrigate, grind feed, and
otherwise use additional electrici
Also connected to lines of the
system is a new substation on the
I outskirts of the city of Crosbyton
which will provide that area with

capacity for future expansion. A
transmission line now exists be-
tween this point at Crosbyton and
the east plains area around McA/-
doo. The use of current has stead-
ily increased in that area to re-
quire Mavying up of the existing
lines.
All over the system in Hale,
Floyd, Crosby, Brisco, additional
short taps have been completed in
late 1949 to bring service to some
two hundred additional members
of the Cooperative.
On January 6, 1950 a contract
was let to provide for an addition-
al substation in the Harmony com-
munity, Floyd County, and heavy-
ing up lines in both Harmony and
Lonester communities. Work is
expected to get under way in Feb-
ruary and be completed by May,
1950. This phase of the program
will bring much needed power foj,
the operation of irrigation ^vells
in those areas. ——
From the national standpoint
the Dept. of Agriculture has an-
nounced that power systems fi-
nanced by the Rural Elect! ifle
tion Administration distributed
30r/r more power in 1949 than in
1948. The 1949 increase in num-
ber of consumers served and in
volume, of power used was the
largest yet recorded for any year
of the'program.
REA indicated that, "With 78.2
percent of the country's farms e-
lectrified, use of power is moving
beyond the initial stage of light-
ing and home conveniences to
place the emphasis on those devic-
es which contribute to farm
come.
REA borrowers have 993 local-
ly-ov/ned"—systems in operation.
They serve 3,044,000 rural con-
sumers over 934,000 miles of line.
More consumers were added to
REA-financed lines in 1949 than
in all of the first 5 years of the
REA program. During the year
1949 they were connected at the
rate of about one every 15 seconds
of each working day.
The financial stability of the
borrowers' systems was "indicated
by payments of $20^000.000 in ad-
vance of due date. ►
Statistics of the growth of rur-
al electrification cannot tell the
full story of what electricity has
done and can do for farm people.
REA loans represent not merely
poles and wires but a rising stan-
dard of living on the farm and the
ability to maintain that standard
Now that more than three-fourths
of our farm families have electric
service, they are harnessing it to
their farm work. They are not con-
tent to have lights any more than
they once were content to stay in
the dark. As farmers make new
applications of power to increase"
income and lighten labor, power
suppliers face added responsibili-
ties—one is that power must be
dependable and adequate; another
is that it must be low in cost.
While dealing more and more
with the problem of power use
and power sources, the farms
which are still dark are not for-
gotten. The fact that about a mil-
lion farms have not yet been-
reached by power lines does not
mean that they will not be served,
rt "dirty means that the problems
of reaching them are a little more
difficult and require a little more
time for solution. REA borrowers
are pledged to provide area coverr
age to serve every farm within
their reach, and they are reducing
the number of unserved farms at
a very rapid rate.
