Electricity Extends Farm Chores With Rural Power
Electricity expands farm productivity by enabling mechanized chores, cutting labor and costs. The Capper Farmer notes its dual use in production and home life, with examples from Kane County Illinois and Livingston County Missouri. A circular saw aids poultry house construction, and a churning attachment speeds washing. Rural electricity also provides heat for newborn pigs and showcases Vocational Agriculture brooder projects.

It notes productivity growth supported higher wages while wartime shifts reduced real gains and criticizes artificial wage controls. The piece endorses freer private enterprise and argues regulation hinders supply and prices.
