PPGL gives cus- tomers more kwh per dollar. # of fluorescent LET US SOLVE YOUR EYESIGHT PROBLEM! Notice To Public I will not be responsible for any bills contracted by anyone other than myself. Maynard Hogeland, Stanfield; Oregon. (Feb. 22-March 22) As fe 1945 I • I f ’ help making comparisons between then and now. Our farm was one of the first, and at the time one of the few, to have electricity. Now I understand there are more than 13,000 farms on PP&L lines alone. What a difference it’s made to both farming and marketing, as profit able uses for electricity have been de veloped year after year! Just this last year we put in an elec trically operated stationary spray plant that will enable the two of us to spray the entire 35 acres of trees by ourselves if we have to. With this plant we don’t have to haul the spray into the orchard— all we have to do is turn the switch, go into the orchard, and start spraying. It saves the work of two men. "Right now we’re figuring on an elec tric irrigation pump, to lift water out of the creek to add to the supply we get from the canal. The boys at the PP&L office helped us with plans for the spray plant, and right along they give us sug gestions that help us get the most from the electricity we use to do our farm work" The 35 acres of apple, pear and cherry orchard operated by W, E. Vannier and his brother, Frank Vannier, is located about 334 miles south of Hood River, in the Pine Grove dis trict, and is one of the longest-established orchards in the valley. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Vannier, parents of the brothers, bought the first ten acres when they moved to the Hood River Valley from the Dakotas in 1904. In 1910 they bought an additional ten acres, and in 1918 the final 15 acres. The Vanniers used coal oil lamps until 1907, when a line was built past their place by the Hood River Electric Light, Power A Water Company, which subsequently became part of the PP&L system. They installed the first electrically-operated domestic water vn- tem in the valley, had one of the first electric trie flatirons. PACIFIC POWER & LIGHT COMPANY Your Power System
