problems the women would like to
nave discussed and other suggestions
of this kind.

feel that the program this year is
to be a big improvement over last
year’s."
Hailey J. Bower, professor of
agronomy and W. L. Stangel, head

An analysis of electrification in West Texas shows e Mop-
ment startling in its completeness, and almost unbelieval^ m the
brief span of time during which this electrical transformation has
taken place. „, , I
And yet—the top has just been scratchedl
Numberless small communities, and countless individual
farmers and ranchers are just awakening to a realization of the
extreme economy of electrical service.
They have come to realize that Electricity can perform the
tasks at which they have been toiling in a fraction of the time,
and at a fraction of the expense of old-time, old-fashioned
methods*
Have you fully investigated the many electrical time and
labor-saving devices which you can install at small expense, and
operate for practically nothing? Come in, and let us talk things
over—you will be surprised at the extreme economy of com- •'
plete electrical equipment.
