Farm No. 5 — Current Consumption and Cost. Table 5 shows the current con- 

 sumption and cost on this farm from August, 1925, when electric service was 

 obtained, to December, 1926. During 1925 only lights and a flat iron were in use. 



By the end of 1926 all equipment listed under "Equipment Costs" was in oper- 

 ation, but the electric range and water pump were not in service until fall and

While the development of a load on this farm has not progressed very far. and 

 wli.it work has been accomplished has been somewhat delayed, Fig. 7 gives an 

 indication of the tendency. The 1926 curve shows a pronounced peak at June, 

 due principally to refrigeration, and extending over the summer months. The 

 curve for 1927 will undoubtedly show quite an increase in this summer peak when 

 the electric range and water pump will be in full operation.
