In contrast to Farm no. 3, where the load curves fail to show a con centration in the summer months due to a predominance of household equipment and lack Of refrigeration, it will be observed that the curves for Farm No. 2, where the load is largely developed from farm opera tions, including refrigeration, show the summer peak which is de sirable to the average central station (see Fig. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Electricity on New England Farms: A Report of the New Hampshire Project on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture for the Years 1925-1926 The curves of total consumption for Farm no. 2, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, are very similar in general contour, and show a well established plan in the use of the electrical equipment used throughout both years. The high peak load comes from June to September each year with the extreme values on these two months. A slight falling off between these peaks occurs in both years in both circuits. Here again is a farm load that appears to have desirable qualities from the standpoint of the power utility company.

"Challenging traditional scholarship on the New Deal, the book reinterprets the history of rural electrification. It tells the previously unacknowledged story of how private power companies, with allies in land-grant universities, engendered social and technical innovations in the 1920s and early 1930s that enabled growing numbers of farmers to obtain electrical service, well before the creation of Depression-era government programs"--
