The Old Gardener Says:
Water lilies can be planted now

Water lilies can be planted now,
sven the more tender tropical
kinds. The fact must be kept in
mind, though, that these lilies
throw up many wide leaves and
that two or three plants are suf-
f1cient for a pool Of average size.
All water lilies are best planted
in boxes or other containers,
which can be moved about at will.
Baskets such as those used in
the grocery stores make good
containers for water lilies. These
plants are heavy feeders and
plenty of fertilizer should be
mixed into the soil around the
roots. Well-rotted cow manure is
best of all, but well-rotted sheep
manure and commercial fertiliz-
ers make good substitute. When
lilies are used in a natural pool
with a mud bottom, boxes need
not be used except for tropical
varieties, and there will be little
need Of applying fertilizer.

POWER COMPANY
WAITING FOR DECISION

With two rate hearings involving
Puget Sound Power &c Light Company
now completed and awaiting decision
of the state department or public
| works, 1t is now possible to forecast
something of the future insofar as
procedure at the hearings is con-
cerned.
Hearings ended are those dealing
with wholesale power rates at Port
Angeles and Waterville. Finale of the
irrigation case involving the three
largest companies in the state is I'M
der way this week.
From what has gone before, it is
evident the attorney generals dcpart-
ment is determined to go extensively
into all phases of the rate arguments
AT the hearing on Watervlle last
week Assistant Attorney General Geo.
Hannah was especially vigorous--and
curious. He kept S. P. McFadden, vice
president of Puget Sound Power &
Light Company, on the stand for more
than seven hours. Although no bitter
ness was displayed, Hannah was often
caustic and critical during the cross
examination.
so far as am concerned, these
hearings are going to be thorough and
complete" Hannah remarked

Box OF Apples
Used As Evidence

A box OF the rosy Wenatchee apples
that made the Northwest famous were
entered MS evidence here in the de.
partment of public works inquiry into
irrigation power rates and credi,
policies of Puget Sound Power & Light
Company. The hearing, one OF several
throughout eastern Washington
others all involving only Washington
Water Power and Pacific Power G.
Light Companies resumed last
Monday at Olympia.
The box of apples and the data that
went with 1t developed four salient
facts:
l. Cost of electric power used In
production OF n box of apples is less
than the cost of the paper the apples
are wrapped in.
2. Power is one OF the four apple
production cost items that have gone
down since 1914, and the cost of power
was never at any time as high as the
others.
B. Power charges account for but
272 per cent of the production and
marketing cost of box of apples.
Even II power had been supplied free
OF charge, the growers would have lost
money--virtually as much as they have
lost in the past two apple seasons
4. Puget Sound Power s. Light
Company never in history refused any
one irrigation power service because of
unpaid bills, never filed a lien on any
property because of unpaid bills, and
today has numerous customers receiv-
ing service who have paid nothing for
rs long as period as three years.
When L. M. Shreve, Wenatchee dis
trict manager for the company, was on
the stand he disclosed that irrigation
power accounts delinquent total $685.
200, and similar spray power accounts
otal $4,000. The company, he said,
Aas s32s,ooo invested in unpaid spray
ng and power accounts and cooper
tive credit organizations of the dis
riot.
I'VE have always tried to make as
iow an irrigation power rate as pos
iible,' Shreve asserted, because we
realize here that If our apple growers
fail, we all fail. We have had no
complaints filed by any of our Gus
toners to the department of public
works. Relations with our customers
have always been satisfactory. Their
power rate has been cut from ST. to
% per cent since 1891"
Evidence showed that cost of power
for apple production has dropped l6

MONEY is LOST THROUGH
IMPROPER HANDLING OF BIRDS

More money is lost through i'm.
proper handling of the cockerels thar
from the low price received for them
II they are offered for sale, declares
Donald Brazie, Of the poultry nus
bandry department of Washington
State college.
The poultryman may do one of three
things with his surplus cockerels. He
may kill the cockerels as soon as they
can be distinguished from the pul!cts.
If this method is followed the loss is
very large, averaging about II cents
ON each cockerel killed without allow
ing for labor for the four weeks.
The next method is to sell the cock
erels for whatever one can get for
them at four weeks Of age. This
method would reduce the loss about
one-third as compared to the first
method.
The last and probably the best plan
is to keep the cockerels and sell them
as broilers, Mr.. Brazie believes. BY
this method the losses can be reduced
to minimum with the possibility of
turning this loss into definite profit
by improving the mana g m m t

per cent since 1914, II never was
above the 1914 level except during a
short period in lo20-2l when the old
Wenatchec Valley Electric Company
was in receivership.
What doesn't go up, can't come
down." witnesses at the hearing point
ed out,
On the other hand cost OF paper
apple wrappers skyrocketed 2S8 per-
cent In 1920 and 200 per cent in 1923;
cost of boxes hoped lse per cent In
1920 and 90 per cent In 1923.
Taxes, which power companies pay
along with everyone else, rose 1870 per
cent from 1914 to 1920 and today are
81 per cent above the 1914 Level,
Only the cost OF power, arsenate Of
lead spray, lime and sulphur spray and
field labor are today under the 1914
levels.
An apple was dissected Mt the hear
ing to see what 1t and Its marketing
costs and why. For 1892 1t was shown
that freight accounted for 4o,s7 per
cent OF the cost; werehousing, storage
and selling, 1885 percent; spray ma
terials, 3 per cent; paper, per cent;
box, GIT per cent; equipment mainten-
ance, miscellaneous and depreciation,
6,97 per cent; taxes, per cent; labor
1852 per cent, and power only the
remaining 2,72 per cent.
In other words, with the average
cost of box of apples In 1882 placed
at sl,8s l-2, the cost of the power used
for all purposes was only 8 cents.
