Tentative depreciation rules to
govern public utility corporations IN
the District Of Columbia were made
public today by Col. Charles w.
Kutz, chairman of the Public Utili.
ties Commission. Copies were for
warded to the various corporations
and hearings on the tentative resp-
lations will begin Monday morning
in the board room Of the District
building. T.
The commission says there are
many small utilities In Washington

ton order, namely, the Town Taxi
cab Company. Auto Livery Company
Federal Taxicab Company, Union
Transfer Company, Washington Mar
ket Company, East Washington
Heights Traction Railroad Company
and Washington and Maryland Rail
way Company. These companies are
eliminated largely because the com
mission thinks the application Of the
new rules would be inadvisable.
Phone Company Exempt.
In the case Of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company the
commission says 1t has grave doubts
as to its Jurisdiction. The commits
sion considers the telephone COM
pany's present rates Of depreciation
reasonable, fair and accurate and its
accounting methods in compliance
with the rules of the Interstate Com
therefor, will not apply the rules to
the company.
The new rules state that the com
mission believes the original cost OF
property, where known, should form
the basis for the annual charges for
depreciation, but where that cost Ia not
readily ascertainable, the flndable ad-
justed cost of reproduction, should be
adopted temporarily.
THE net additions 10 depreciable
physical property, from the date Of
the finding Of the cost Of reproduction
to any given date, added to the cost
Of reproduction new. will give the
basis upon which to compute de-
probation at that date" the commits
sion says.
The commission declares each utili.
ty should set aside a fund separate
and distinct from all other moneys,
such fund to contain the amounts the
commission shall prescribe for depre-
citation purposes. The fund SO credited,
it is said, would be in the nature OF
a trust fund to provide for renewals
and requirements Of depreciable prop
erty.
Would Invest Funds.
Permission to deposit such fund in
bank or to invest them in approved
securities is contained in the rules.
The commission also allows the utility
to borrow from the fund for legiti.
mate corporate purposes. 1t is pro-
posed, in that case the annual earn.
ings Of the depreciation fund should
amount to at least 4 per cent.
The tentative regulations cover
twenty-eight pages, dealing with every
phase Of depreciation. 1t Is expected
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, Potomac Electric Power
Company and Capital Traction Com
pany, which corporations these new
rules will directly affect, will ask the
commission to make some changes De-
fore making the rules an order.

GET FIGURES ON PUREBREDs
Bureau Of Census Completing Tabula-
ton for States Not Yet Shown
in Reports.

On account of the great interest
which the United States Department
Of Agriculture finds has been shown
in census figures Of purebred live stock
in ten representative farm states, the
bureau of the census is proceeding
with plans to complete the tabulatiOn
for the remaining states. This work
is receiving the hearty cooperation of
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture. Live stock specialists of the
department regard such figures as
very valuable as factors in production
problems, and as indicating develop
ments in the improvement Of domestic
animals in this country.
It is understood that the final census
figures pertaining to purebred live
stock on farms will be available at the
same time the general live stock fig
ures are furnished. It is thought that
this will be some time during the COM
ing summer. Breeders and breeders
associations interested in this work
have already indicated their apprecia-
ton of the value of the figures thus far
available. 1t Is the first time in the
history Of any country that accurate
figures on the total number Of purebred
animals on farms have been compiled.

CARE AND FEEDING OF STOCK
Vermont Live Stock Owner Says Cause
Of Runts Is Due to Neglect Dur
ing First Year.

In contributing his experiences on
the cause of runty live stock in a re-
cent inquiry conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Vermont farmer urges greater care in
the early life Of domestic animals.
when people can be educated to the
proper care and feeding Of stock" he
declares, "the runt will be practically
wiped out. The reason, perhaps, why
there are not so many runts In pure
bred herds as in others is because the
man who cares what kind of stock he
keeps cares enough to care for them
better" He concludes that one of the
principal factors in the cause of runty
live stock is the man who has the care
of them the first year.

them at all when they found out
what had to be done with them. We
want to avoid wasting the plants
and we want to insure that they will
all be planted and have good care 80
this method will be followed.
We will have 1000 plants packed
In moist earth at the booth, and
each person desiring q plant will
write their name and address In the
register kept for that purpose. Then
the girl in charge of the book will
hand out a printed slip telling just
how to prepare the soil and care for
the plant to get the best results.
When this slip is shown to the girl
in charge of the plants she will fur
nish the plant, and the person ac-
cepting 1t agrees to plant and care
for it and to fill out a QUESTIONABLE
next fall when we send 1t to his or
her address as given on the register.
The QUESTIONABLE to be sent out next
fall will ask a few questions like
these:
Did you plant perennial pea In
September, 1921?
How deep did you dig and fertilize
the ground?
Did the plant bloom in 1922?
How high did 1t grow?
What did you give it to climb on?
Are you pleased with It?
Did you raise any seed from it?
Have your neighbors asked for any
of the seed?
We will furnish the printed
QUESTIONABLE and the postage to carry
it both ways and will pay the girl
who addresses, them to you and will
know little or nothing about who
gets the plants. What we want is to
get them out among the people who
want to try them, and then we want
to know whether they are satisfac-
tory and successful after a years
trial. We have distributed good
many flower seeds that did not grow
or the plants did not do well, and we
want to handle these flowers SO they
will win or we will find out why.
Directions for Planting
The perennial pea is not a sweet
pea. The plant grows up like alfalfa
for appearance, but it has clingers
and wants something to climb upon.
Under ordinary conditions it grows
four or five feet high, but with
special care it climbs much higher.
1t has tap root like alfalfa, and the
height Of the vine probably harmon
ICES with the depth Of the root. The
young plant makes tap root at the
rate of about two inches a week for
a while, and the root goes down ten
to twenty-five inches the first sum-
mer according to how rich and mel
low the soil is. II it had rich, loose
soil ten feet deep and four feet
across it would probably fiji it In
three or four years and might make
a plant that would grow fifteen or
twenty feet high If supplied with
proper support. The largest one we
have raised was ten feet high and
it was planted in soil that was only
loosened and fortified about two
feet deep, but the roots went far be-
low that, we do not know how far.
We wish that somebody with suitable
soil would make an experiment and
report to us. II the soil is loose and

100 Days and
Nothing Done
GIRLS ASKED TO
HELP WITH FAIR
Two Thousand Plants
Will Be Given Away
During Fair

Do some of the Idaho girls want to
do something for the fair? Will they
wsrk and donate something like the
men and the merchants and stock
men do? Here is request for help.
Editor Trego wants two girls or
two women to distribute perennial
pea plants at the fair grounds every
afternoon from / o'clock till the race
program starts and then from the
time the race program is finished
until people quit filing thru the ex-
hibit halls. It need not be the same
persons each day or each shift. If
enough persons offer their service,
none need serve more than couple
Of hours unless they wish to. II you
are willing to help without pay ring
or write The Republican office.
Mr.. Trego has tried giving away
seeds and plants and cuttings at the
newspaper office and somebody al
ways starts the report that none but
subscribers can have them or that
only those whose subscription is paid
in advance can get them or that get
ting people into the office is only for
the purpose of asking them to sub
scribe for the paper or to pay up
arrears. OF course we can't stop
people from talking and circulating
something that is not true, but we
are going to beat them to it this time
by having the plants given away at
the fair grounds and by somebody
not connected with the newspaper
work, and then everybody will feel
free to anything that is being Of
fered.
II we gave the plants free to
everybody that came along, there
would be large numbers of children
and others who did not understand
the matter and would carry of
plants just because they were being
offered. and they might not want
