MUST OBEY ORDERS
OF THE COMMISSION
Public Utilities Not Allowed to lg-
more Commands.
ONE IS SUED FOR $4,000
Fifteen Accusations Are Made Against
Door County Telephone Company
for an Alleged Violation of an
Order by Board.

Madison.-On complaint of the rail-
road commission, Attorney General
Walter G. Owen has started an action
to recover from the Door County Tele-
phone company for alleged violation
of an order.
Fifteen specific charges are made.
In each the maximum penalty OF SlO,-
900 is asked The frs alleges that
the company failed to establish full
metallic circuits as ordered; the sec
Ond that it failed to divide its toll line
as ordered the third that it failed TO
keep a record of all complaints and r.
Irregularities regarding service; the
fourth that 1t failed to establish
switchboard at Baileys Harbor as or
dered; the fifth and subsequent causes
that it failed to make monthly reports
to the commission regarding the pro-
gress of construction.
Recently in a similar action the
state recovered $4,000 from the Mil
waukee Electric Railway and Light
company.
"This action means more than is ap-
parent on the face of it." said Deputy
Attorney General Drew, who is to con-
duct the case 1T means that the rail-
road commission is through temporiz-
ing with utilities in the state which
are inclined to play fast and loose
with commission orders. 1t seems
that there are some who are under the
impression that the commission is
handing down orders because there is
nothing much else to do, and that
these orders are not to be taken seri-
ously, that it is all right to obey if it
is convenient. If the orders of the
commission are not to be enforced
that body might just as well go out
of existence"

or preserved. Grapefruit, pineapple,
plums, cherries, gooseberries and cur
rants each have their devotees-and
many who dislike them as we'll, But
long live the strawberry! With the
almost equally as popular cranberry,
it is one of WiscOnsin's staple small
fruits, grown in large quantities, and
not confined to restricted areas
Grown for home use in every county
of the state, from the settled regions
Of the south to the clearings of the
northern settler, it has also been de-
veloped in a commercial way Sparta,
Bayfield,, and Sturgeon Bay are among
the chief commercial centers for
strawberry culture at present. Two
market considerations are met-the
local and wholesale. Each has it's own
requirements that must be taken into
account Commercial growing Of
strawberries is an industry calling for
much study and cannot be entered
into hastily.
There is no "best" soil for strawber-
ries. The crop is grown commercially
on soil of practically all types, rang
ing from rather light sands to heavy
clay and black prairie loans. On each
excellent results are secured, if proper
cultural practices are followed and the
right varieties grown.
Fairly deep blowing is advisable
for land intended for strawberries.
This increases the Water-holding ca
pacity of the soil and allows the roots
to penetrate deeply, lessening the
chances for drought injury. Thorough
narrowing, disking, planking, or other
cultivation should follow to put the
upper layers Of soil in as fine filth
as possible.

In Planting Strawberries.


Select strong, vigorous plants
with good root systems. Old
fruited plants are unsatisfac-
tory.
Plants which have been
shipped to the grower must be
planted at once or "heeled in"
This consists of placing them in
shallow trenches in a location
protected from sun and wind.
Prune carefully. All dead
leaves and a large number Of
the live ones should be removed.
One or two healthy leaves are
enough to start. When the root
system is heavy and overabund-
ant, from one-third to one-half
of it may be clipped away.
Set the plants at the right
depth. This means not too shall
low, nor so deep as to bury the
crowns of the roots, which may
prevent the buds from pushing
up easily
Keep roots moist during plant
ing by using a damp cloth or by
carrying them in pail Of water.
Spread the roots fanWise with
the fingers when inserting them
into the hole made by spade or
dibble.

Commission Finds Fault.

commission in the case of L. G. Cour-
Ter against the Simmons Manufacture
ing company of Kenosha.
Mote should be taken that the ap-
plication in this matter was made the
day following the accident" says the
decision. 1--WE observe no reason for
such action. At that time no compen-
sation was due and the respondent
was not in any default. Filing the ap-
plication put upon the respondent the
necessity of answering at time when
it was not in default and increased
the burden of the commission in han
ding compensation matters"
The commission then shows the
great trouble it went to in this case,
travelling to Kenosha to conduct a
hearing and the applicant not appear
