THE
In the so-called "good old days” water had to be pumped by hand
and many other back-breaking jobs made the farmer’s day a suc-
cession of tiresome chores.
But life on thousands upon thousands of Texas farms has been
changed. Rural electrification, pioneered in Texas by Texas £ower
& Light Company, has shortened the working hours by relieving
the farmers of scores of jobs. On the modern Texas farm, electricity
provides running water just like city folks enjoy... preserves foods
through refrigeration and freezing ... saws the wood ... milks the
cows ... and does scores of other things to help both the farmer
and his wife.
▼ Since 1915, Texas Power & Light Company has been extending
its rural lines to bring dependable, low-cost electric service to farm
and rural homes. By" 1921, the Company was serving 6,926 rural
and farm families and today serves from its 7,000 miles of rural
lines more than 68,000 farms and rural homes in North, Central
and East Texas.
Back in 1927, John W. Carpenter, president of the Company,
called a special meeting of officials of other power companies,
farmers, business men and representatives of state educational
institutions, at which meeting the Texas Committee on the Rela-
tion of Electricity to Agriculture was formed. This Committee has,
since its inception, conducted research to speed up farm electrifi-
cation and has advised farmers on the efficient use of electricity
on the farm.
