Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography supplements Bibliographical Bulletin 24, issued April 1954, and contains selected references on the historical, sociological, and economic aspects of rural electrification in the United States during the years 1954-1964. Rural electric cooperatives, distribution and load, and effects of electrification are included. This past decade was one of great changes in rural electrification. Now that most of the rural areas of the United States have electricity, the work of the United States Rural Electrification Administration and that of the local and statewide cooperatives is directed toward interties, generation and transmission, power plants of all types, territorial integrity, and development of rural areas. References to rural telephones, refrigerators, locker plants, and freezers have been omitted, as have articles from farm papers and from local cooperative newsletters.
