Abstract

The attached information will be useful to you in discussing the place of rural electrification in the alleviation of the manpower shortage. You will note that these specific examples are in the form of direct quotations from various experiment stations or state Universities. In this critical moment of man-power shortage, it is time to re-examine the power of 1 KWH of electrical energy. It has been pointed out that 1 KWH equals 1 man-day's labor, or one pound of coal, or one-tenth gallon of fuel oil, in terms of physical energy. It has long been known that kilowatt hours replace man hours with great economy and greater efficiency. Numerous publications of Land Grant Colleges and Research Agencies have uncovered this seldom recognized, but highly significant fact.
