"Actual case histories explain and illustrate how electricity is taking over more and more farm tasks, in the fields, in the farm kitchen, in the farm factory. Drying baled hay, feeding poultry automatically, carrying ear corn to a sheller - all are good examples of efficient and economical use of electrical equipment. For good measure, there's a sequence showing a typical country fair."
