Light and power for the South
Carolina farmer is made available
to him by reason of the long, clean,
tall pine trees which grow in his
wood lot or in the forests of his
neighbors advises State Forester
H. A. Smith.
There is no economical or safe
substitute for the wooden power
pole. Without this inexpensive sup
port for the distribution lines to
the farm home, shop and barn,
rural electrification would not be
feasible for any except a limited
number of fortunate farmers liv
ing near sources of power supply,
near main lines or in thickly popu
lated neighborhoods. The use of
other materials for poles would
place the per mile construction
cost too high for most rural users.
The southern pine pole is pres
sure treated with creosote to make
it last for a long term of years. It
is easily transported and erected,
therefore the installation cost is
low and the maintenance costs are
reasonable. This enables rural elec
trification to be carried on in thin
ly populated sections where the
average power consumption pi
farm is often less than five dolla:
per month and in some cases avei
ages as low as forty dollars pi
year. In some states territories ai
served with only four customers t
the mile.
Wood is a good insulator when dr:
therefore power leakage is low froi
wood poles. In addition electrics
workers and power companies fin
that wood poles provide a greate
factor of safety for their workmei
than poles composed of other ma
terials. This is particularly tru
when the workmen are requirei
to wear rubber lined gloves, am
to place rubber shields called “lim
hose” over high tension wires
hoods of rubber over insulators am
sheets of rubber over other con
doctors and equipment carrying
high voltage current to the pole;
where they are working.
The forward looking farmer wh<
owns woodland should refrain fron
using tall, clean, straight pine tree;
for fuel, pulpwood or small sav
logs. He should save them for poles
piling and high grade saw timber
thereby putting them to theii
highest use, securing the highes
cash returns from their sale am
assisting in making rural electri
fication economically feasible foi
himself as well as farmers through
out the entire country. Southerr
pine poles help supply the need;
of other sections of the countr:
which do not possess an abundanci
of suitable inexpensive pole ma
terial, over two million of then
were put into use during 1936 am
the 1937 consumption will run ver:
high.
