WEEKLY HORT. TEST

Statement /. True. The Deacon var
iety of sweet cherry apparently is a
good pollinizer for the Bing, Lambert
and Napolean, although the latter
three varieties are not only self-sterile,
but also largely inter-sterile.
Statement 2. False. The truth Is that

with pollen from ~ different Deacon
sweet cherry trees showed no differ
ence in the effectiveness of the pollen
from the various sources or from diff
ferent trees, so long as they were ac-
tually trees of the Deacon variety.
Statement 3. True The d'Anjou pear,
because Of Its tendency to be self
sterile, does not usually give an ade-
quate set of fruit unless cross-pollin-
ated with pollen from another COM
patible variety, such as Bartlett, Win

3. The flowers of most of the

POWER DEVELOPMENT

In few fields has there been such rapid devel-
opment as in the electrical service field. One has
to look back but fewyears to the time when small
areas were served by crude inadequate plants,
giving service but few short hours each day, to
realize that the distribution of power has pro-
crossed enormously.
The incandescent lamp-that seems a poor word
with which to describe the light which those first
lamps gave-dim, Pickering, was hailed as mar
vel of the age, but it no unusual experience
to have the lights go out entire while the oper-
ator OF the plant made a few repairs
Today, electricity is used for every task. 1t en-
ables the housewife to complete much of her work
quickly and easily; and it has made possible the
of irrigation in districts which have gravity
flow Of water and which otherwise would be still
dry land.
Only through this rapid development of the
power industry has the development of much of
this country been possible, and to the men whose
foresight brought on this development belongs
much credit.
This growth of the past quarter century is but
the first stage in the complete development of our
water power. Development during the next quar-
ter century may be in another direction but it will
be accomplished just as rapidly
In 1880 there was an installed capacity of 000,-
600 kilowatts in the Northwest, including all of
Washington, northern Oregon Idaho and western
Montana. Conservative estimates of increasing
power needs in this area would require 100000
kilowatts Of generating capacity in 1910 and at
least 100000 in 1855
These are conservative figures for, as the power
consumption increases, rates are lowered and the
reduced rates in themselves bring about larger
of power and light. That the installed gener-
atig capacity will keep pace with the increased
needs WILL in fact, create further consumption is
assured. Both the Bonneville and the Grand Cou-
lee dams now under construction will be able to
furnish power in 1910, or shortly before.
Present circumstances Indicate that it will be
but short time until other dams on the Column
bia overwhelming our own Priest Rapids-are
built to provide ample power for all needs.
This development, which will assure abundant
power at very low rates, will stimulate mining
and manufacturing of the Northwest, and will
hasten the development of reclamation With this
development properly exploited and wisely man.
aged, the Columbia River basin will be the base of
great industrial and agricultural empire

faces and materials, broke through
a good deal. Most Of the repairs will
be made upon them. Patching work
will comprise most of the repairs
but here and there. the chief engi-
neer said, there may have to be a
small amount of rcsurfacing.
Mr.. Mack also pointed out that
there may be what highway engi-
neers call intangible loss" that is,
damage which cannot now be seen,
but which may show up later in the
spring or summer as wear and tear
of traffic and spring and summer
rains.
New Castle county will also have
to spend thousands of dollars for re-
pair of the winters weather and
storm damage. Alban T. Shaw, cOun-
ty engineer said. He said he could
not yet give an approximate esti-
mate of what the extra cost will be
for these repairs. but that il GER
tainly would run into several thou
sands of dollars" The old-type sur
face treated tops suffered the most
of all paved roads, Mr.. Shaw eX-
planned. hut naturally the crushed
stone and dirt roads. connecting paw
ed roads and linking farms, are in

Damage in Wilmington was con-
siderable and widespread but Street
Commissioner Frank w. PiersOn
said he could not tell exactly how
much the repairing will cost. The
worst damaged street. he said. was
Delaware avenue. where besides
lot of patching, some parts. especi-
ally along the sides and the car
tracks probably will have to be re-
surfaced entirely.
The long period of sub-zerO wca-
thcr, plus the grinding of chains in
snowy weather. especially heavy
truck chains. caused the chipping
and cutting of stretches of streets. (

starting and stopping of trucks and

SHE HAD AN IDEA!

Trust the American woman tC
think something different and inter-
cstins even in her welfare work, as
well as something that is practical
Members Of the American Legion
| Auxiliary have announced their in
tcntion of making one million Glas-
ses of jelly for tho needy and unfOr-
tunatc by October l-and thereby
( hangs a tale.
A little dynamo of woman in
Philadelphia named Mrs. William H.
BicstCr. lr.. last year was national
rehabilitation chairman of the Aux
Hilary. Working in that office. she
came face to face with the urgent
welfare needs in communities all
over the country. And, at the same
time. she met women everywhere
who were willinc-Oh. so willing
to help hut couldn't seem to get
started on anything worthwhile and
practical.
That set Mrs. Biestcr to thinking.
What was one of the greatest needs
among the poor? Food, What kind
of foods should women make? Some
thing that could he made easily and
incXpCnsively, something close tn
the staff of life and something
that would keep indefinitely. Then
the answer came tn her. Homemade
jcllies. And jams. The whole pre-
served fruit family. Why shouldn't
the half million members of the
Auxiliary make thousands upon
thousands of glasses of these nOur-
ishinG, wholesome energy foods tor
Thanksgiving. Christmas and Easter
baskets? To distribute in orphan
ages. in veterans hospitals. to the
needy in communities Cvcrywhcrc-
right where the jcllics were made in
