Farmers on
Loan Board are
Much Desired
Wanted There to See That Credit
Banks Operate in the Inter
est of Agriculture.
Mitchell, S. D., Nov. 19. Appoint
ment of farmers as members of the
farm loan board to "see the oper
ations of intermediate credit banks
are in the interest of agriculture"
was recommended to the national
farmers union at the closing session
of that organization's convention
here today .
"Access to ample credit facilities
is vital -to the prosperity and pro
gress of agriculture," said the re
commendation which came from
the banking commission of the
union which reported today. The
committee also recommended that
state organizations should demand
the exactment of co-operating
banking laws, and where such
laws cannot be secured, advised the
organization and co-operation of far
mer owned banks.
Organization of the middle west
to fight the proposed increase in
railroad rates in the western divis
ion was started when the committee
on freight rates named the state
board of the farmers' union in each
state In the western division as a
"freight rate evidence committee
and urged it to co-operate with Fred
S. Jackson of Topeka, Kans., attor
ney, before the interstate commerce
commission.
A slap at bankers and county
farm agents was taken by the com
mittee on topics.
This committe suggested as sub
jects for debate and discussion in
,the farmers union locals, that "penal
I institutions be enlarged to accom-
imodate the bankers, and that the
.county agent be placed on the coun
ty poor farm and be held responsible
for its successful operation."

1923, the contract for the giant
$500,000 turbine had been placed
with the Westi-nghouse company.
The foundations of the plant rest
on solid rock, a fact that made ex
nrnsive concrete foundations un
necessary.
Eock 175 Feet Deep.
The company's engineers drilled in
this solid rock to a depth of 175
feet and still found limestone, in
dicating the solidity of the founda
tion. On this rock a specially con
structed foundation of anchored steel
and concrete was built on which to
place the giant turbo-generators.
This foundation rises 50 feet above
the surface of the rock. The great
building itself towers 135 feet into
the air, the height of the highest of
the Tri Cities' office buildings.
The big turbine, the greatest en
gine ever to be set to work in this
part of the country, is a 35,000 horse
power unit.
Into the construction and equip
ment of this great new plant went
over 1.000 carloads of materials and
machinery. There were several
trainloads of equipment alone. 100
carloads, in fact. An item of 249 car
loads of ties, rails, cinders, and rock
is recorded by the construction de
pnrtment on the company's books.
Eighteen cars were necessary to
transport the big turbine alone, while
75 cars of structural and reinforcing
steel, ornamental and miscellaneous
iron went into the building of the big
nlant. Of sand, gravel, cement, ana
lime there were 4S2 carloads used.
So scientifically was the construc
tion of the big plant arranged by
United Light officials that the tur
bine, boilers, and other special ma
chinery the building of which took
5o;np 15? months, arrived here at al
most the exact time that the founda
tions to bear them had been complet
ed. The machinery and equipment of
coMrse had been ordered montns in
advance of the actual start of con
struction operations. In fact, the
turbin had been contracted for be
fore the ground at riverside naa
been purchased. The reason for this
was that the company knew it would
build the power plant before it had
decided on which side of the river
to locate the big central station.
From a study of several years con
ducted by the engineering department
under the direction of ti. J . uenman.
irpripral manager, and G. 1. fanoe-
maker, chief of electrical engineering
for the United Light, the big corpor
ation had determined on tne mosi
efficient type of power plant consid
erably before decision to Duim tne
plant was made. It was therefore
possible to make exceptionally excell
ent progress in construction opera
tions once they were begun.

To keep it quiet and powerful requires oil

To be sure of running on clean oil, drain

After 500 miles, oil is heavily diluted with
