C., are spending this week with 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.
