Total cost of the project was $10,000 financed equally by the two organi zations. The contractor was Aircraft Dynamics, Inc., Lima, Ohio. A complete report of the field trials appears in the attached copy of the May 4, 1969, issue of "Country Living." The report entitled "Make Way for the Electric Tractor!" begins on page 4. Similar reports, though not quite as complete have appeared in many other publications. The tractor has been sent to Wheel Horse Products, Inc., South Bend, Ind. at their request, for evaluation as to whether or not they will develop it commercially. Mr. Frank Scalpone, Vice President, Marketing, reported to LIA that their decision is expected by August 15, 1969. Sincerely, JLK:so Att: "Country Living" May 4, '69 Issue J. L.

ANEW supplemental financing program for mem ber-owned electric systems was approved in March at the Two of the guiding leaders in these finance plans are Howard A. Cummins, executive manager, Ohio Rural annual meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Electric Cooperatives and Owen D. Manning, manager, The Association in Atlantic City, N. J. Frontier Power Company, Coshocton. This proposal would establish a financing institution Concepts for the plan were presented to a National to be known as the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Rural Electric Cooperative Association Long-Range Plan Finance Corporation. Membership would be open to ning Committee almost two years ago in St. Louis by Mr. Cooperative and non-profit organizations such as your rural Cummins. A great portion of the supplemental plan follows power supplier here in Ohio. An objective would be to help his recommendations which were approved by the OREC provide $ 15-billion predicted as necessary to give full electric service to America's rural areas in the next 15 years. The money is needed mostly for construction of heavier Board of Trustees. Mr. Manning has served from the very beginning of the proposal on the long-range planning committee representing Ohioans. lines to meet power demands that will double in the next When the proposal was approved in Atlantic* City, 10 years--consumers enjoying and putting electricity to work.

That's when an entirely new concept in the revenue per mile of line is less than $500, contrasting with electric industry was formed in a partnership arrangement nearly $8,000 per mile of line for the investor-owned power suppliers, it's obvious many rural electric Cooperatives will between the investor-owned Ohio Power Company and Buckeye (member-owned) to own one of this state's largest need low-cost, long-term REA funding for years to come. Some Co-ops, however, occupy a business position that is better than average. It is hoped these systems would use the new institution first. Meanwhile, those rural electric Co operatives needing REA funds could continue healthfully, and eventually mature to the business level of those systems switching to the new financial institution. generating stations, the Cardinal Plant, on the banks of the Ohio River near Steubenville.

In a letter to the editor of CoyiTry Living, Mie.-Clarence Lawson of South BloomingviHo; O. proposes a revolution ary plan for electrifying outer space. Mrs. Lawson's idea is one to fire the imagination of those Ohio people who 35 years ago tackled the "impossible" job of electrifying rural Ohio, and who until recent months could only dream of owning one of the state's largest and most efficient power generation plants. To those of us who dare to do, who persist in making "impossible" dreams come true, Mrs. Lawson says: "I suggest you wrap in small packages any extra kilowatts you may have that will stand space travel. Give them to the astronauts to be passed out as samples to inhabitants on the planets they visit. Be sure to put our Co-op's name and address, plus "Planet Earth, " on the packages. Be the first electric company to reach the other planets. Let the astronauts store the extra packages of kilowatts in the "Big Dipper" for use on future trips. More down-to-earth, for sure, are the following letters from readers who sent in the best suggestions to HUPET (How rural families will Use idle summer kilowatts of Power to add comfort and convenience Economically, for flameless electricity is available Today at pre-inflation era prices): \ What can we do with those loafing kilowatts this summer? We could use them while keeping our schools open the year around. By sponsoring summer shop courses, typing, bookkeeping, home economics classes for high school students and adults, we could help improve the condition of all citizens. Imagine the possibilities of a program aimed at informing farmers and their urban brothers about agricultural advances, problems, laws and government pro grams. There must be a good many high school students who would appreciate a summer course in auto mechanics, although the regular courses are aimed at college entrance. How about year-round sports and physical fitness programs? Dance classes in the gym? An adult choral group? Music lessons for adults? I believe this could be made to work nationwide, and profitably in more than mere dollars. Mrs. Richard Letso R. 1, Defiance, O. For 10 years we've been putting idle summertime kilowatts to use by having a swimming pool in our back yard. We use kilowatts to pump water from our well and to run the pool filter system. Therefore our electric bill runs about the same summer and winter. Mrs. Carl R. Musselman R. 4, Middletown, O. There are at least two appliances that should be used more in the summertime. One of these is a dehumidifier. It .ikeeps the air in the home drier, making it more healthful pnd more comfortable, as well as its being better for the furniture. The other handy helper is a dishwasher. It saves standing over a steaming sink on a hot day and also gives you precious extra hours to spend with your family.

Russell K. Glover III ofAircraft Dynamics, Inc. is at the wheel Thar she blows!-snow, that is. This picture was taken at Lima, O, last Feb. 14. Jack D. Jones, general manager of Aircraft Dynamics is in the EXT driver's seat. 4 -- Country Living / May 'V3 The EXT, a battery-powered lawn and garden tractor that will run up to two hours without recharging, was introduced in Chicago, May 6, as the only really "clean air" tractor. It is the newest in a growing list of batterypowered vehicles for home, farm and commercial-industrial use. The EXT (Electric Experimental Tractor) is a four-wheeled, riding-type tractor, with capabilities near those of a 12-hp engine-type unit. Powered by six 6-volt lead-acid batteries with a higher energy density than most now on the market, it is capable of mow ing, plowing, and snowblowing. Following use, it can be plugged into an electronic charger and fully recharg ed within 12 horns. The tractor has a solid-state control which doesn't waste energy like a resistor speed control, and allows for variations in speed and reversing with out loss of power. Most of its six electric motors-two to propel it, three to run the mower and one to run the snowblower--are of a new permanentmagnet type requiring less energy than L I A 0 17 9 5 conventional motors. It also has an electric power lift for attachments. Co-sponsored Project Co-sponsored by the Farm Electrifi- I cation Council, Oakbrook, 111. and the * Lead Industries Association, New York, the EXT was developed under contract by Aircraft Dynamics, Inc., Lima, O. Rechargeable batteries of the EXT are examined by (from left) Dave Borcina of manufacturer of battery-powered hand Lead Industries Association; Russell Glover, Aircraft Dynamics; and John D. ! tools and airplane movers. Turrel, Sr. "Our objective in developing this tractor," said John D. Turrel, executive manager of FEC, "was to show that it could be done! "Now, several manufacturers are keenly interested in the possibilities of this product. They've indicated that the EXT, in a size comparable to a 7-hp engine unit now on the market, could be manufactured and sold for around SI,000. I think it's entirely possible that we may be seeing pro duction models on the market within the next year or so." Field Tests Successful "Our field tests showed that the tractor will run up to two hours, depending upon how it's used," said Connel A. Baker, Jr., engineer for the Lead Industries Association. "In snow blowing tests we ran it for two hours ' on level ground at a working depth of two to six inches, and cleared more than one-third of an acre. On two successive days during the mowing tests we mowed each time more than an acre of sloping ground in 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, using a variety of drivers. The grass was a very tough mixed Bermuda-Bahia strain that couldn't be cut with a reel-type mower. The EXT then completed its tests by pulling a 10-inch conventional garden plow through sandy soil without experienc ing any difficulty." The tests also showed that batterypowered tractors, similar to the EXT, should be more economical to operate than engine-type units. "We found that six kilowatt-hours would be a normal recharge on the EXT," said Russell K. Glover III, engineer for Aircraft Dynamics, Inc. "At average electric rates," he con tinued, "the energy cost for mowing an acre or more of lawn would run from 9 to 12 cents-or about the price of a quart of gasoline." Advantages Cited Turrel and Baker cited the follow ing advantages of the EXT: 1. Low noise level Less noise haz ard for the operator: less irritation for his family and neighbors; and quieter to operate around livestock. 2. No fumes. Eliminates the effects of air pollution upon humans, animals and plants. 3. Built-in safety features. The tractor's lower center of gravity re- It plows too! Connel A. Baker, Jr. of Lead Industries Assn., turns out some neat furrows in sandy Florida soil as the cameraman captures the moment. L IA 01 7 c 6 T THE EXT- (Continued) duces its chances of tipping over; a microswitch in the seat provides aut omatic braking and a three-second stop of the mower blades when the operator leaves his seat; and the tractor stops automatically when the operator takes his foot off the springloaded pedal used for speed control. 4. Easy maneuverability. Can be operated by men, women or teenagers without interference to other activities in commercial, industrial or livestock areas. 5. Eliminates vibration, engine maintenance and fuel storage pro blems. Forerunner to Bigger Units On today's farms, tractors similar to the EXT could be used for feeding and cleaning chores around poultry houses and for daily cleanup around stables and free stall dairy barns. Turrel foresees this tractor as leading to battery-powered high clearance field tractors used in spraying and detasseling row crops, and ultimately as battery capability increases, to battery-powered farm tractors equal to today's 100-hp engine-type units. Lead-acid batteries now handle many heavy duty haulage jobs. A recent development in this area is the Ramcar, a mine vehicle capable of hauling up to 30 -tons of coal or ore for a full shift period before recharg ing. Another development is a 90-pass enger intra-terminal train which can haul 1,200 people an hour, now in service at the Houston airport. The three-car train is powered by two, one-ton lead-acid batteries! *** Howard A.

It led to Rockwood, the name her parents had given their farm. There was a tender tugging at her heart strings, and memories that misted her eyes. The green fields bordering both sides of the road were sprinkled with dandelion gold. Passing the Hunt place, she noted sadly the rotting deserted house of their old neighbors. The large lawn where she'd spent many a pleasant summer's afternoon was now grown high with weeds. The well remained. Yearning to again taste 8 -- Country Living / May 1969 J^taee the cold sweet water she'd enjoyed so as a youngster, she slowed down to look for a bucket and rope with which to draw it up. She found neither. Driving on, she gazed to the right. The woods were dainty with spring flowers. And over there, the remains of a tree house built by brothers Dan and Jack. To the left was the sorghum cane field, barren now, but still graced with the tiny stream, where, as child ren they'd waded and played hard at catching tadpoles and minnows. Rockwood was now directly in front. A lump tightened Beth's throat as she eyed the weatherbeaten, blueroofed farmhouse where she'd bliss fully grown from ages six to twenty one. The house snuggled comfortably against the hillside, half hidden by the three large maples in the front yard. Parking at the side of the road, Beth noticed that the barn her father built was sporting a new coat of bright red paint. Seeing the place so well kept cheered her. The winding flagstone steps, which she'd helped build, lured her toward the front door. Midway, her eyes were drawn to the peony bed planted by Mother's own hand. How eagerly she'd awaited their flowering each May. On the other side was Mother's iris bed and beyond that the proud rose gar den. It satisfied Beth, somehow, to know the beauty her mother had created still remained, even though she'd been gone 13 years. Her eyes thirstily took in the lovely white-flowered orchard which Father had set out on the hillside back of the house. Through those once-again un folding young buds she was certain something of him lived on. They are here, she thought, every where. And yet nowhere. The front door opened and the present mistress of Rockwood, whom Beth had phoned from town, beckon ed and said, "Won't you come in?" "Thank you," replied Beth._ "I'm sorry to be so much bother' but I wanted to see the home place again." Once inside, she knew the extent of her folly. She'd come back to Rock wood looking for the home, the haven she'd once known-filled with love and laughter, the happiest place she'd found in this world. Looking about the remodeled rooms, the modem furnishings, she realized it was no longer there. But with a sadness, and a gladness, she also realized that her parents hadn't taken it away with them. They'd left it-engraved in her heart and mind. Otherwise, why would she have come back at all? Thanking the woman kindly, Beth went back to her car and drove away; wanting, but not the least bit empty.

It is the residence of John Hayes, third generation farmer and Country Living's "Personality of the Month". A sandy ridge near the Hayes home is evidence that Lake Erie shores once did extend to the southern tier to townships in Henry County. Artifacts found on the Hayes farm tend to prove that the land once was inun dated and that along the sand ridge a tribe of early Americans once camped and buried their dead. Grandfather Jerry Hayes purchased an 80-acre tract in Marion Township, Henry County, in the year 1864. To the north the "Black Swamp" lands were just that-swampy. To the south the "high" land was mostly timber and the price for the original homestead was $10 an acre. In the intervening century much has happened. Fields were cleared of timber, the wet spots drained and crops planted. In 1894 the railroad came past the Hayes farm and Gallup became an entity on the map of Ohio. In addition to passenger service, tons of freight were moved out of Gallupgrain, livestock and sugar beets--car after car. As a boy, John Hayes was waterboy for the men building an all-weather road along the route of the Indian trail that curved along the ancient lake shoreline. Unknowingly, John helped trigger a revolution in rural living, for "roads to market" fathered the autos and trucks. And today Gallup is an uninhabited village--population zero--a place where no trains stop. Mobile and Manufactured Homes RVS Home Sales 4195 Alum Creek Dr. Columbus, O. 43207 Ph.

Mt. Gilead, Ohio "Owned by those it serves" Phone 946-2856 Prevent Grain Spoilage: Use Aeration Fan Aeration of stored grain can both limit mold and fungus spoilage and help prevent insect damage, reports W. R. Schnug, OSU Extension engineer. Schnug said aeration prevents spoil age by removing excess moisture and cooling the grain. Cooling also renders most grain-destroying insects dormant. Any grain stored for a year or more and grain stored over winter that has a moisture content greater than 14 per cent should be aerated, he said. Design of aeration apparatus depends on the structure and grain t depth, but Schnug recommends a system that pulls air downward through the grain and exhausts it outside the structure. This eliminates the possibility of condensation inside the bin. Schnug suggests these tips for when and how long to aerate: -When there is a cold period in the fall lasting for more than four days, start aeration to cool the grain. Operate the system until the tempera tures of the air entering and leaving the grain are nearly equal. -Operate fan on cold, dry days to maintain uniform temperatures. A good practice is to run the fan every week or 10 days during winter months. -Very large storages should be aerated continuously when humidity drops below 60 percent. Automatic controls can do this chore. "THIS IS ONLY A QUESTION, YOU UNDERSTAND, Hit w o u l d o n e u t t ie m h o l e d o mu c h t o o u r p ic t u r e t u s et " A Secret! There seems to be a misconception that when a person adds an appliance in the home or on the farm, his electric bill will go up, or that he will be put on a higher rate. Of course the electric bill will go up because there has been added an in creased load. BUT, the rate does not change. What does happen? Many times the member has a power outage caused by the new appliance adding a load be yond the capacity of the transformer. The transformer fuse blows and the possibility of the transformer being burned up and destroyed is not re mote. If the fuse just blows, the outage cost is only the time it takes the serviceman to come and replace it. Even that cost can amount-ter$IS or $20. However, the transformer has been punished and, to some extent, partly worn out. The next time, andthere will be a next time in this case, the fuse will blow and the transformer will be destroyed. . .burned up as we say. This then will take two trips by the serviceman--one to find out the trouble and a second one to get a new and larger transformer. This cost now comes up to sometimes $400. These costs are all a part of opera ting expense of the Cooperative. In time, the increased expense could cause a revision in rates. Another point. As transformers are overloaded, low voltage occurs at the member's service. Low voltage means that it will take longer for any appli ance to do the job that you are wanting done, therefore there is a great possibility that more electricity will be used, resulting in a higher bilL But people often blame this higher bill on the rate rather than the use of the appliance. Everyone will benefit -- the user and the Cooperative--if the member will notify his Cooperative that he has added a range, water heater or other major appliance.

Do you wonder how we divide our food store dollar--according to U. S. Deptartment of Agriculture statistics? You would find meats accounted for 20.4 percent of your food dollar in 1967. Poultry took 3.7 percent, fish for 1.6 percent, eggs for 1 percent and dairy products for 6.8 percent. Fruits and vegetables in both fresh and processed form won J7.7 cents of the sales dollar; cereal and bakery ft-oducts 9-1 percent, foods such as frozen prepared products, baking needs, sugars, Jams, and dressings made up 8.1 percent of sales. You may be surprised to know that supermarkets take in as -much money from nonfood items as from their whole meat department. >'?*** *: MORE USES FOR SOYBEANS? More uses for soybeans? The list keeps growing. About 105 million pounds of soybean protein products were used by U. S. food manufacturers in 1967. Baked goods accounted for almost half of the total volume. Over the past few years, commercial bakery use of soy protein has gone up 7 to 10 percent annually. One of the primary assets of the soy protein is the fact that it holds moisture in bakery products which helps keep them fresher longer. It's also used in meat products and various vegetable protein foods and beverages. The U. S. produces about 75 per cent of the world's supply of soybeans. fc^^.^^x******** ****** ************** t1;'.';***?;1;**** PESTICIDE ACCIDENT PREVENTION Only As Much As You Need. Consumers are often told to buy the "giant economy size" when buying tooth paste or soap. The U. S. Dept, of Agric. suggests that you reverse this in buying pesticides--buy only as much as you need for now. In the spring most homemakers Increase their purchases of pestjfecides for home and garden use. Buying limited '^mounts will keep you from storing leftover pest icides--which is risky business. Each year hundreds of children are hospi zed after getting into pesticides their par'-.i?.-. thought were safely stored away. So just buy eno igh to solve the problem at hand.

I never really know exactly what office-worker Phyllis is talking about. Then she says, "I'm going into systems work; won't that be challenging?" I agreed but secretly wished somebody would print a primer for lay-people like me. All I know about those things is that you can't tape, fold, cut, spindle or mutilate the cards! APRIL 14-Mom gave me some pillow cases she had had in a cedar chest for 20 years and never needed or used. She asked, "Why do we keep things just for the sake of keeping them? Why do we save things?"

I've a long way to go before I wind up like the lady I saw using a regular cutting board on the top of her dishwasher...that top hap pened to be one big, lovely cutting board the lady wanted to "keep nice." To me, a worn, cut, scarred, marred cutting board is a badge of something. It seems to say proudly "I've been used!" APRIL 18-1 wondered, "Can you buy chocolate chips in bulk?" A five pound can of small semi-sweets in my pantry means the answer is yes. But I've never seen them in a supermarket. Got these through the baker at the local Christian Childrens' Home. Sometimes I think the housewives would like larger, more economical, "bulk" packaging and not so much of the small, convenient, expensive pack.

I said "I guess I'll make it." Betsy exclaimed, "Ohh, Mommy, don't GUESS, you might be wrong." I told her I didn't really mean guess and then she went on..."What if the car gets longer as we go over the track? Or what if it gets wet and starts to grow?" Leaving the fantasy world, her final question was much more practical: "How do those red lights know when to start blinking?" APRIL 30-"This better be worth it," I thought as I added a small package of chocolate instant pudding mix; four, yes four eggs; half a cup of Crisco Oil; and a cup of water to the package of Devil's Food Cake Mix in the mixer. Baked at 350 an hour in a 10-inch tube pan and we had an easy chocolate pound cake. I thought it was merely fair, but the girls gave it a good rating, which doesn't mean much.

She is Mary Ann Weber, 17, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Weber of R. 1, Fayette, O. Mary Ann knows her frozen fruits and vegetables have family eye and taste appeal when she follows certain important steps in preparing them for the electric freezer. The keys to succ ess in freezing, Mary Ann says, are these: 1. Select only high quality fruits and vegetables for freezer storage. Cer tain varieties planted in the Weber family garden are selected specifically for freezing, because not all varieties freeze well. 2. Freeze foods at the prime stage of maturity, which also is usually the best time for table use. Garden plant ings of beans and peas are scheduled so that all do not mature at one time. 3. Sanitation in handling foods for the freezer is essential. Clean work habits, clean equipment, including packages, and thoroughly washed pro duce make safe frozen foods possible. Freezing does not kill many spoilage micro-organisms; it merely slows down the rate of growth. 4. Freeze fruits and vegetables soon after harvest. Freshness in the raw product is essential for good flavor, color and texture in the frozen food. 5. Blanch all vegetables before freezing according to reliable recom mendations to check enzyme activity. ' Steam blanching is preferred to water blanching for most vegetables, parti cularly in hard water areas. Everyone's all smiles as Mary Ann's frozen cherry der : roll passes Dad's taste 6. Thorough, rapid cooling of test. 16 -- Country Living / May 1969 Lifccieii bundled vegetables in ice water avoids overcooking. 7. Pack fruits in dry sugar or syrup for maximum retention of color and texture. Mary Ann has used non-nutri tive sweeteners on frozen fruits and in frozen jams for her mother's diabetic diet. 8. Use ascorbic acid in syrup for peaches to avoid browning due to oxidation. 9. Pack fruits and vegetables in clean, moisture-vaporproof containers designed for storing frozen foods. Use plastic bags and boxes, heavy duty foil, glass jars or heat sealable films. Milk cartons and coffee cans are not recommended. 10. Label packages clearly with date and type of food. Freeze prompt ly- 11. Store foods at 0 degrees F. Mary Ann uses a thermometer to check the temperature in the home freezer. One reference Mary Ann has found useful in preparing special foods for the freezer is Bulletin 369, "Freezing and Using Vegetables, Fruits and Pre pared Foods". It is available on re quest from any county office of the Ohio Cooperative Extension Service or at 2120 Fyffe Rd., Columbus, O. 43210. This publication describes the best Ohio varieties of fruits and veget ables grown for freezing and gives specific recommendations for blanch ing vegetables and preparing syrups for freezing fruits. Mary Ann enjoys using the frozen fruits in special foods for the family. Especially flavorful is a roll made using some of the cherries she freezes. Fruit cakes Mary Ann froze were shared last Christmas with men in the armed services and with local senior citizens who are physically limited. In 1968 Mary Ann Weber received the Ohio 4-H Club award for food preservation at the Ohio State Fair. During this school year she continues her interest in food preservation in a special school science project in which she has experimented with sugarless jellies for diabetic and low calorie diets.
