INITIAL PERIOD OF DEVELOPMENT 1925 - 1927 INCLUSIVE Previous to September, 1925, no Special efforts had been put forth to SUpply the farmers living in the rural areas of the territory served by the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois with Central Station service. At that time the Company decided that someone should be appointed to develop the rural electrification business, and I received the appointment as Agricultural Engineer on the date above mentioned. Previous to my appointment, I had two years' experience in all branches of public utility business within the companies under the general direction of Samuel Insull, Esq. The plan of bringing electric service to farmers living in.an.area approximately 6,000 square miles has proven to be a most interesting one to me, and I have now spent five years in the development of this problem.

The number of farmers living in this area is 28,253 (according to U.S. Post Office maps, 1925), of which 1,758 were receiving electric service in 1925 - being served from 700 miles of line. The Company's operations are directed from one central General Office located at 72 West Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois. The territory is divided into eleven districts-~each.one supervised by a District Manager. The Agricultural Engineer reports directly to the Vice- President in Charge of Sales in the General Office. The Sales Elan - 1925 stablish contacts withIDistrict—Ianager and sell them on rural electrification; als ta their vie ints . After calling on all the District Managers and reviewing the rural electric field with them, it was quite apparent that they unanimously agreed that electrifying the farms in this territory would be unprofitable for some time to come, and that they were not anxious to begin the development. Consequently, in order to sell the organiza- tion on rural develOpment, it was essential to gather some facts which would indicate to some extent the use made of the service by present farmers. Business surveys are very eXpensive--costing as much as $2.00 per customer. Therefore it was decided to call on a group of farmers that would be fairly representative of all. This group numbered four hundred and eighty-six (486) farmers. This survey (Figure #1) brought out the in— teresting facts that the Company had many miles of lines out in the country that were not even paying operating costs. The District Managers, when shown the results of this survey became interested, because their primary function is'to make electric lines pay a dividend to the stockholders of the company. Several months were Spent in reviewing the equipment and load building pos- sibilities with the sales forces in the districts. The rural extension policies in effect at this time, although.in keeping with.what other utility companies were doing, required that the prospective farmer customers advance the cost of the line extension in cash.under what is known as a Rural Electric Line Extension - Advance Deposit Agreement. (Figure #2) No Special rates for farmers were put into effect as it was felt that one schedule of rates through? out the entire territory was entirely satisfactory. The present plan, however, had its disadvantages because it was difficult for the farmers to obtain the cost outlay Ada carnamv neo.oH oom.o mon.m aao.n oHo.mH oao.m oo.oomo oo.oaeo oo.oono oo.nono oo.eodo oo.oomo mo.mmo mo.omo om.moo oo.moo mo.aeo eo.ooo oao. moo. oao. oeo. oao. «no. oo.e oH.m no.» on.na on.» oo.oa own odd oom one com oom.m own own one. oom ooo ono.m ooo.H oom.a omm.a owo oem.a oop.a on own on oam on oon mod oom one oaa one sod cam oan non man one one a o o H m o o o a a o o a a a n e o m o a a a a o m m e oa e on ea Ad on so Ad me on Ha an on me or on em no on we an no no ooa on on no on on Had no on L41. m m a o a I‘II IIHI w H o H m B m I‘II'I H D Hoo.m antenna Hence oo.mmm0 oo.m¢ma oo.oao@ .pmno non pooEpmo> mmo.a soo.o no.o¢o Ho.oeo moo. moo. oo.n oo.n moo one oao one cow.” nmo.a on son mma no on» mom a m o o o m o a m o e on m AH o on we on we no o a inH snag womanhood mm.moaw use» non .pmoo non oseobom mmo. once nod oopooddoo.sm .om.m once non use» you comb .mau oomga nosomi.pmso non maps; ea coon copooenoo ceded meHMoo0i.umso non maps; ea coon oopooomoo ooo.a anaermagi.enao and apps; ea oooq oopooeeoo. one .pmuo moo nokom .msm ea doauoezmdoo .hHHH can .pmsv nod mnHMooo .mBM aw noapmesmdoo .hanw ooo . .pnso and nearewaq .mam dd doauoaumnoo .hahw mnouopoam manna mnoaaosm deco mnooduno doom mnoponomanmom momnom H mused Hopes mnoeooao essom> ma manages: madame; : Hm udonH peak oanpooam mm .pmno sham oopaooom 10020200200 =====z= m “mo Hmnasz MmoaHmmma mus ho mam¢m AA¢ 2H mfimmbm CD43. 5.28. RURAL ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION—ADVANCE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT (Applicable to Rural Customers.) A Rural Customer is herein defined as any customer, except an industrial light or power cus- tamer, whose premises are located outside the corporate limits of any city, town or village, or territory reasonably contiguous thereto, where the density of population or other condi- tions are similar to those in a city, town or village. THE SUBSCRIBER herewith deposits with PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY of Northern Illinois (hereinafter called the “C ompany”) the sum of Dollars ($3 ) to cover the Company’s cost of extending its lines, as shown on sketch on the reverse side hereof, to supply electricity at the premises described as .......................................... in County, Illinois. In consideration of said deposit the Company agrees to extend its lines to said premises, and said deposit shall be held and disposed of by the Company on the following terms and conditions: What Deposit Covers. Said deposit represents (1) the cost to the Company of furnishing and installing any extension of the Company’s lines required on the highway, and, in the event the Subscriber hereto is an additional customer to be served over or from a previous extension made under a refunding agreement with another customer, (2) that amount equal to the cost of an aver- age two-pole extension, as hereinafter described, which is to be refunded to the Subscriber who made deposit of cost of said previous extension. Refund of Deposit. Subject to the conditions hereof, the Company shall repay said deposit by paying or crediting to the Subscriber from time to time, until the same shall be exhausted or otherwise repaid, an amount equal to twenty-five per cent (25%) of each monthly bill rendered for electricity consumed at said premises; and the Company shall also refund to the Subscriber from said deposit an amount equal to the cost of an average two-pole extension of new construction in the same community for each additional customer whose service shall be taken from the extension made under this agreement or from any extension thereof within a period of ten (10) years from the time of making the extension hereunder; provided, however, that in the event the extension covered by this agreement is an extension from a previous ex- tension made under a refunding agreement with another customer, no refund shall accrue to the benefit of this agreement covering service to additional customers until total refund has been made under the terms of said refunding agreement covering said previous exten- sion, and provided, further, that in any event the total amount repaid or refunded to the Subscriber hereunder shall not exceed the amount of the original deposit hereunder. For the purposes of this agreement that “amount equal to the cost of an average two-pole extension of new construction in the same community” shall be considered as $ It is understood and agreed that in the event the extension made under this agreement is made to serve a number of customers and has been covered by several deposits from such cus- tomers, any refund made to the Subscriber, on account of an additional customer, shall be the Subscriber’s pro rata portion of the total amount refundable on account of such addi- tional customer. (Figure #2) Additional Customers. Any additional customer whose service shall be taken from the extension made under this agreement or from any extension thereof as aforesaid will be required to deposit with the Company a sum of money equal to the cost to the Company of furnishing and installing (1) any additional highway line extension required to serve him, and (2) an amount equivalent to the cost of furnishing and installing a two-pole extension, as above defined. Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that if at any time the Company’s electricity shall cease to be used in the above described premises before the whole of said deposit shall have been repaid or refunded to the Subscriber as aforesaid, the portion of said deposit then remaining in the Company’s pos- session shall be retained by the Company; and it is further understood and agreed that if at the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of commencement of service said deposit shall not have been wholly repaid or refunded under the provisions hereof the Company shall cease to make repayments or refunds hereunder and the portion of said deposit then remaining in the Company’s possession shall be retained by the Company. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as conferring upon the Subscriber any title to or right of property in said extension. The completion of said extension is contingent upon strikes, fires, accidents, delays of carriers, or other delays unavoidable or beyond the Company’s control. This agreement is submitted to the Subscriber by the Company on , 19_____, and is void unless accepted by the Subscriber within thirty (30) days from said date, and is further subject to the approval of an Officer of the Company and shall not be binding upon the Company until endorsed with his approval.

At this time it was decided that I make an inspection trip to California, Washington, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Winnipeg, Canada to see how rural development was carried on. I visited many utility properties, reviewing many types of rural electric projects that were the means through which.many ideas on my problems were solved. While the first survey made in 1925 was used for the purpose of getting the interest of the district organizations aroused, the information was not sufficient for the development of a comprehensive plan which would facilitate the building of rural lines on a larger scale. Therefore a survey of the entire territory was made. (Figure #3) Upon the completion of this survey, rural elec- tric development enters into the second stage of its progress. With full knowledge of the practicality of our rates, line extension policies, and the district per- sonnel whole-heartedly supporting the work, a study re- vealed that it would be advisable to build up a network Am.

Accordingly, the program was planned and put into» effect the early part of 1928, as outlined on the map. (Figure #4) The limited use of electric service made on the farms which had been connected to the Company's lines for some time was most discouraging, and it was realized that the one-million-dollar development plan of making line extensions could not be successful if. some supplementary plan of selling farmers on the idea of making a more elaborate use of electrical equipment were not originated at the same time. I had been utilizing some farms that were making substantial use of electric service, as demonstration farms. This method, however, was not entirely satisfactory because the farmers were very poor demonstrators of electrical equipment, although. enthusiastic about it. ‘fll-‘ W \ z T'—"'—— --1—-—“- I — -—.__‘F i ’ -lllllmm » , "‘I -——---—- -.-—- ' ., x H) WI >1 l: l O W'ING o .

SECOND PERIOD OF DEVELOPMENT 1928 - 1929 INCLUSIVE The Company had no way of training the farmers for this work, so the officers of the Company approved the buying of a tract of land consisting of 80 acres in the central part of Lake County, Illinois, close to rail and highway tranSportation-—the purpose being to design buildings in which all of the practical uses of gas and electricity could be demonstrated to show to the farmer and his family how the conveniences and neces- sities of the city could be had on the farm and in his home so as to make home life more attractive and help in saving physical labor. While the architect designed the buildings, I was appointed to work with him on the entire project and make all recommendations with regard to the size of the buildings, recommend the home furnishings, water supply, sewage disposal, equipment, livestOck, and crop planning. I feel that the booklet describing the Public Service Model Farm (Figure #5) gives a complete outline of my work with the exception-of the details involved in the design of grain bins, feed grinding arrangements, and the cropping plan. The latter was the most diffi- cult to initiate because the land was practically all in sod and had not produced any crops for several years. \ PuBmc SERMIG‘Eaa WOMPANY '. r. . - OF NORTH ER'Nfilulz-DINYGIS 5. “”5 .. .

General Oilioen 72 West Adams Street Chicago IXTY YEARS ago the open prairies welcomed the arrival of the railroad to make pioneer life less rigorous and large scale cultivation of land more practical. Today wherever electricity and gas are available, intensive cultiva- tion with limited man power is made possible, and living conditions are in keeping with high modern standards. Likewise electricity and gas ofl'er the city dweller, to whom the thought of a coun- try home is appealing, all the pleasures of country life without the burdens it held in years gone by. This booklet presents the story of our Model Farm, located two miles west of Mundelein, in Lake County, Illinois. This farm is a permanent progressive ex- hibit of the comfort and convenience which may be brought to country life by adapting electric and gas appliances to rural needs. Puauc SERVICE COMPANY OF NORTHERN lLLlNOl‘ Page I!” cc Page Four The Model Farm of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois is situated in the highest portion of Lake County. It faces on Diamond Lake Road just northeast of its intersection with Hawley Avenue. The farm is reached from Lib- ertyville and Mundelein via Hawley Avenue. Above, night view tbe Model Farm, tbrongb t e ent- rance gate on Diamond Lake Road. Left, a view of tbe fawn/Jame tbrougb the gardens. THE MDDEL fADM In DUDDOIE AND DLAN 6]”: HB purpose of our Model Farm is to demonstrate to farmers, and to city people who would like to have a home in the country, outside of established communities, the use of electric and gas appli- ances which will minimize labor in the home and on the farm. The farm consists of 80 acres of fertile land, which are cropped in accordance with the best information available. The buildings are laid out on an interesting landscape plan; they include a very comfortable six room farm home, stock barn, dairy rooms, oflices, poultry house, swine barn, and an exhibit hall for the operation and demonstration of electric and gas equipment. ' The Model Farm is a demonstration rather than an experimental farm. It does not duplicate the efl'orts of numerous agencies already established which are successfully carrying on important research and experimental work. The study of new ideas on the application of electricity and gas to rural needs is not entered upon at the Model Farm, but any new in- ventions using gas or electricity are immediately demonstrated there when they have been worked out and proved suitable for rural use. It is the intention of the Public Service Company to display at the Farm only such equipment as can be recommended to a farmer for immediate use. The practical farmer who produces and markets foodstufl's-grains, livestock or garden truck—depends upon electric power to replace expensive labor in many operations. The small or large dairy, selling at wholesale or retail, uses electricity for milking, milk cooling and testing. An abundance of water, gas-heated, assists the sanitary methods of handling so essential to a successful dairy. The poultry fancier, the florist, or any enterprise requiring a country location with fertile land, sunlight, and marketing facilities, finds in modern electric and gas service the means of speeding production, saving labor and improving the quality of what is produced. In addition to ofl'ering farmers an opportunity to see in operation the farm machinery suitable to their needs, the Model Farm also demon- strates that by taking full advantage of electric and gas service, the farm home can be made as attractive and comfortable as the city home. Page Five National associations of the electric and gas industries working with various home planning bureaus have devised standard specifications for supplying homes with gas and electricity. These are known as Blue Star specifications for gas and Red Seal specifications for electricity. The Model Farm plans for electric and gas service have been endorsed with respect both to Red Seal and Blue Star standards. It is estimated that within three generations there will be 18,000,000 people in and about Chicago. Of these, many will want homes in the country outside of the limits of established communities. Believing that farm and country home life can be freed from drudgery and incon- venience, it is the purpose of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois to work toward this end in the territory it serves.

Pn‘e Sir THE ‘fADM HOME ARM life has always been recognized as one of the nation’s chief sources of good citizenship. The tendency, however, of many alert and ambitious young' people to leave the farm and seek the seemingly easier modes of living in the cities, has become a serious farm problem. It is one which adequate electric and gas service can go far toward solv- ing. When a young man no longer sees his mother Working beyond her strength, when he can offer his bride a home as attractive and convenient as any in the city, when parents can themselves believe that their children will find a life of comfort on the farm, then the exodus to the city will be checked. There is no agency equal to utility service in supplying the country home with comfort. Beside its attractiveness as a practical residence, the home at the Model Farm serves as a striking example of the beauty and comfort which can be brought into country homes from the viewpoint of the city dweller who would expect his country house to be as much a reflection of his good taste as his city residence.

While the farm wife visits the neighbors, attends a meeting which inter.- ests her, or makes a trip to town which would other- wise have to be made by a man from the field, she can be entirely unw-orried by thoughts of neglected work of her own. Convenient refrigeration is one of the de- lights of an electrified home which becomes all the more important in the country. A refrigerator can be attached to any socket and can be secured in many styles and sizes. Where one refrigerator serves for fam- ily use and for storage of dairy products, a larger type may be the better investment. The kitchen sink has a built-in electric dishwasher.

Brown Swiss cattle are noted in Switzerland, which is recognized as the leading dairy country in the world, for producing milk rich in butter fat. They are not a widely known breed in America but are commanding the attention of experienced dairymen more and more because of their hardiness and resisrance to disease. Electricity is used in the Model Farm dairy, for lighting the dairy barn, cow yard, washroom and the milk storage room. It elevates grain to over- head bins, grinds feed, clips and grooms the cows, does the milking, pumps ice water through the milk cooler and refrigerates the storage tank. In a retail dairy, it turns the separator, drives the bottling equipment and operates the bortle washing brushes. Gas supplies an abundance of hot water for washing the dairy equipment. ICIENTIFIC Damyme Page Thirteen Page Fourteen Mill! Aerator. for prompt cooling NDER glass in the washroom (at left) are two motor equip- ment units. One pumps the cold water through the milk aerator and the other operates the refrigerating unit in the milk room storage tank. 1~= A HE warm fresh milk is carried directly to the milk room and poured into the elevated tank of the milk aerator. As it flows down over the horizontal water pipes and drains off into the milk storage can, its tem- perature is quickly lowered to about 45° F. thereby immediately reducing bacterial growth. The upper pipes circulate water of ordinary well tem- perature. The lower pipes circulate ice water from the storage tank. The success of the milk cooling system depends upon electric pumping. Elec- tricity also operates the refrigerating unit located in a corner of the storage tank. It is especially important in connection with the use of the modern machine milkers, to provide for eficient cleaning. A gas fired boiler supplies an abundance of steam and hot water at the washroom sink, so all milking utensils may be easily and quickly sterilized. In a large retail dairy farm from which milk is to be delivered in bottles, the washroom equipment would include steam sterilizer outfits and electrically driven bottle washing brushes. Light in the washroom and milk room comes from ceiling units protected by heavy duty reflectors. Just outside the milk room is a loading platform to which the milk cans from the ice-cold storage tank may be brought quickly and easily for a market trip.

Openings to the barn loft, located over the cemented runways, mabe feeding easy. Note that lamps are recessed flush with the barn ceilin . This prevents breakage while hauling in feed. Lamps are set close enough together to furnish t e abundance of light which makes it quicker and easier to care for stock and also aids in sanitation. ' CADE Of ITOCK LECT RIC light, electrically pumped water, and the use of electric motor power eases the monotonous daily tasks of properly caring for barns and farm animals. The barns of the Model Farm have been carefully designed. The broad center runway expedites the bringing in of supplies. The cows face windows, which open outward at the top. Below the windows, in the sunlight, is the sanitary feed trough. Ventilating shafts, set at frequent intervals, increase the comfort of stock and diarymen. The self-filling drinking cups are made possible by the automatic electric pumping system on the farm. The water is slightly warmed from standing in the individual cups, and this, together with the . fact that the water is always ready, has been found to increase the amount of milk produced. Water taps are located at convenient places in the barn and Other buildings for attaching a hose and flushing the floors. The use of the electric vacuum cleaner for grooming dairy cows is a great aid to sanitation, removing loose hair from flanks and udder. This grooming machine also has currying and other attachments. The farmer usually has considerable corn, grain, and feed to handle. . An elevator on this work saves much hard labor. Furthermore, it makes possible the use of buildings of greater heights for storage and often a part of the barn directly above the feeding alleys. This, of course, represents a material saving in storage cost and in the labor of feeding. At the Model Farm the grain bins are located in the loft of the dairy barn and an electric elevator is in use.

The progressive farmer finds electricity an espe- cially profitable investment for poultry raising. Ultra-violet ray treatment of baby chicks is simple to administer and has been found the means of hastening healthy growth and lower- ing the death rate. The use of electric light to lengthen the shorter days of the year, results in an increased production of eggs at the time of year when higher market prices prevail. By attaching an alarm clock to the electric switch, light is turned on automatically at the hour de- sired each morning. Electric brooders of various types have proved very successful in preventing chilling and over- heating. Automatic control devices maintain even temperature and minimize the cost of operating the brooder. In the electrically heated incubator, an even temperature is main- tained by thermostatic control. All fuel-tend- ing is thus eliminated at a great saving of time and labor. Electricity also provides protection against chicken thieves. The cost of leaving the chicken yard lighted all night is insignificant, and an alarm signal can also be contrived inex- pensively.

The pens at Model Farm are of improved design, are well lighted and easy to clean. Convenience outlets have been in- stalled in the hog house for connecting portable electric heaters used in caring for young pigs dur- ing severe weather. ‘.| o ' I I. .

No attempt is being made to display every machine, but a wide variety of equipment is shown in operation during the year. Farmers are urged to come here for reliable information concerning the operation of electric and gas equipment. Among the featured items for the home are an electric range with time and temperature control, an eleCtric washer and an electric ironer. Several types of farm pumping equipment, a vegetable dehydrator, a large electric incubator and a farm chore machine are also on display. Another exhibit of special interest is an electrified work bench fitted with the newest electric repair equipment, The switchboard which controls all uses of electricity on the Model Farm is located at one end of Exhibition Hall. It is always recommended that electric switches and meters be grouped at one point centrally located on the premises.

Roman“ ILLINOIS Consequently, a program of crop production was planned which would gradually build up the soil and increase the yield per acre at a nominal cost. .The results over a period of three years are shown in Figure #6. Since the farm buildings would not be ready for occupancy until about August 1, 1928, cattle and swine were not purchased until that date with the cropping plan in operation. We purchased Grade Brown Swiss cows, .some young stock, totaling 15 head, and a registered Brown Swiss Enll. The reason for not purchasing registered cows was because we wanted to build up a herd in the same manner as it is done on ordinary farms. The results are shown in Figure #7. The biggest problem in connection with operat- ‘ing such a project is to consistently increase the attend- ance of visitors. This was done by continually keeping the place attractive, and through advertising on a gen- erous scale. The attendance chart is shown in Figure #8. The lodel Farm was opened to the public on August 22, l928--which together with the Fiveélear Rural Construction Program should do much to make the electri- fication of rural areas a success.

Farmers and others out- side of municipalities apparently were not in position to advance the cost, and about this_time various utility companies had deve10ped policies under which the farmer paid a service charge but was not required to advance the cost of the extension. With those prevailing conditions, a new policy for extending electric service, called the Farm Line Extension - Electric Service Agreement, was evolved and approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission, to become effective April 1, 1929. This policy was only adopted after making a study of some fifty-five policies that were in effect over the entire state. Farmers only pay a minimum electric light and power bill in prOportion to the length of line extension and transtrmer capa- city required to serve them. (Figure #9) Coincident with the development of a new policy, we began to select men from the graduating classes of the various colleges and universities located in several states. Their duties, after a period of train- ing, were devoted entirely to helping the farmers with their gas and electric problems, and to sell them equip- ment which will be suitable for their use.

In the event that within fifty (50) months after said highway extension is made hereunder any Customer served from said extension increases his utilization of electricity in such an amount as to require the Company to replace the transformer serving said Customer with a transformer of larger size, such Customer’s monthly minimum bill then in effect shall, for the remaining portion of the fifty (50) months’ term hereof, be increased by one-fiftieth (1/50) of the cost of the new transformer in excess of the cost of the transformer replaced, and the Customer hereby guarantees and agrees to pay such increased minimum bill for each month of the remaining portion of the term of this agreement. Additional Customers. 6. In the event that within fifty (50) months after said highway extension is made hereunder an additional Customer, or Customers, shall be served directly from said extension, that is from a point within the extremities of the extension made hereunder without further high- way extension, either at distribution or secondary voltage, the Company shall investigate the service conditions of the total number of Customers then served from said extension and shall re-apportion the monthly minimum bills, under this and other similar agreements relating to said extension, among the various Customers then served therefrom in accordance with the new service conditions; thereby reducing the monthly minimum bills of Customers previously served from said extension. 7. If it shall be necessary for the Company to install additional line extension, either along the same highway on which the original extension was made hereunder or laterally thereto, in order to serve an additional Customer, or Customers, such additional Customer, or Cus- tomers, shall not be considered as being served over the extension constructed hereunder and no re-apportionment of monthly minimum bills hereunder shall be made.

Agricultural Research.Problems Experiments to determine the effects of elec- tric light upon flowers and plants were begun in the early part of 1927. This work:had such encouraging re- sults that it attracted the attention of professors in horticulture at Purdue University. In 1929 the results were presented, together with prospective available business for extended use of electricity in greenhouses, to the Utilities Research Commission with the idea of having Purdue university carry on this research work. The Committee acted favor- ably on the project, and arrangements were made to begin the work in 1930. Forty-eight kilowatts of lighting are now in- stalled in the horticultural greenhouses at Purdue university. The current was turned on December lst, and the research work is well under way. This project is known as "Utilities Research Commission Case No. 36; Acceleration of Plant Growth". A brief statement of the possibilities is pre- sented on the next page.
