Abstract

Excerpts from the Report: This booklet will tell you how effective cooperative enterprise can be in rural electrification. In the four years since 1935, more than 600 REA-financed cooperatives have been organized. The number of farms electrified has more than doubled. Aid to cooperative rural electrification projects became a direct concern of the Department of Agriculture on July 1, 1939, when REA was made a unit of the Department. We are throwing the resources of the Department behind the REA program. Our aim is to carry electricity to as many farms as is possible on a sound, self-liquidating basis. Already cooperative electricity has contributed significantly toward making farm life worthy of the people who live on the farm. Along with our other activities, rural electrification, cooperatively accomplished, will continue to move forward.
