and ranchers who receive service along its lines.

revolution In farm methods, production and living standards; has
lightened the drudgery of farm tasks and Increased fafm output and
profits; has been Instrumental in keeping young people on the land,
and has promoted the general welfare not only of rural people, but
of urban residents as wall whose prosperity and well-being depends
upon a sound and prosperous agriculture.

of August 19th to 25th, inclusive, as
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION WEEK
