THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1926 FA RM P O IN T E R S Hardy annuals are set out in O re gon from April 15 until it is too late for them to make a good grow th, the experim ent station says. Tender an nuals are not planted outdoors until May 10. These dates are used at the college in m aking plantings of ann uals for the season. Lime is needed in many Oregon gardens, says the experim ent station. The soil is often too acid for good grow th and an addition of lime re medies this trouble. Some plants re quire soil conditions different from others. Find out w hat the plant needs and try to make the soil the best for th at plant, is the advice of W. S. Brown, professor of horticul ture at the college. Straw berry crown borers in O re gon are controlled by burning infes ted plants in the spring. Old plant ings th at will not produce a crop this year serve as breeding grounds for the moths. These are plowed up and the plants burned. New plantings are located as far away as possible from the old field. The soaking of narcissus bulbs for three hours in w ater a t 110 degrees F. will not obtain 100 per cent results in com bating stem and leaf nem a todes, says M. B. McKay ( plant path ologist at the Oregon agricultural ex perim ent staion. Mr. McKay is ex perim enting with local-grown golden spur narcissus bulbs, soaking them at 110, 112, 114, and 116 degrees. The bulbs soaked a t 116 degrees grew as well as those a t 110. The best tem perature has not been determ ined, but th heat is increased above the standard treatm ent to obtain best results.

Of course you have always appreciated the ad vantages of cooking by electricity. You know that it means no more fuel to carry; no more ashes to lug. You know that electricity is the ideal cook ing heatjeconomical because it is turned on \\ hen you need it — not before; turned off when you’re through—not later. But perhaps you would like to know exactly what it costs — in dollars and cents. The 1S00 satisfied families who now use elec tric ranges served with electricity by this company would gladly show you their bills, if they could. Wc have made an average of these bills, so that we may give you the facts. The average cost of electric lights alone in all homes served by this company in Oregon is $2.20 a month. The aver age cost of their electric lights and electric cook ing together is $5.62 a month. For the difference, could you buv ordinary fuel for cooking? And if you could, would you want to? Whenever yon decide to investigate this ques tion of electric cooking closely, your nearest deal er will tell you many interesting things. And he is prepared to instail your new electric range at once, on convenient terms. YOGA PARTNERS IN PROGRESS THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY
