The Basis of Rates The last few years have been perilous ones t‘or public utili- ties. The cost of equipment and of labor have been constantly increasing, while there have been few increases in rates. We do not believe that any public utility can furnish, nor the public obtain, permanent and efficient service without a fair profit. The public is our only source of revenue and any increased taxes. material or labor costs must always be met by the tele- phone users either directly or indirectly. We have always endeavored to adjust our telephone rates to make it possible for evervone to be connected who would add to the value of the service, thus giving the greatest good to the greatest number. We believe that the public is best served by our charging rates that will afford us enough money to maintain and operate our system properly. fornish a sufficient surplus fund with which to rebuild or restore parts of the plant when worn out, and earn a fair rate of interest for the men and women who; have their savings invested in our property.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE PIONEER COMMON DISEASE OF BEANS. Anthracnose Is the Most Gene: the Most Destructive. [Prepared by New Jersey station.] Anthracnose (Colletotrichum linde- muthianum) is the most common and the most destructive of the bean dis- eases. This Is a fungus disease which 1s always prevalent un certain varieties of the wax, string or bush beans. It varies In severity with the character of the seed and with the weather. If the seed carries a large percentage of diseased beans the attack will become severe earlier in the season than if the seed 18 comparatively clean. The dis- ease 18 always more Severe during a wet than during a dry season. The disease attacks pods, leaves and stems. The pod form is the cause of the most injuries, and many growers fall to recognize the fact that the dis- eage as it appears on the leaves' and stems i3 the same as that on the pods. It starts on the pods as small dark spots, which increase in size, some- times coalescing, thus forming large, irregular cankerlike spots, which are pinkish, reddish or orange in color, but become black with reddish borders. On the leaves It appears as black spots along the petiole and veins, usually on the lower surface. The older spots are somewhat sunken and more nearly like those on the pods. On the stems it ap- pears as spots very similar to those on the leaves, but usually elongated up and down the axis. The disease is carried on the seed and can be detected by the dark brown or reddish spots. Therefore it is evi- dent that the use of clean seed Is of great advantage in controlling this dis- ease. It is claimed that seed grown in the dry, frrigated districts of the west carry less of this disease -than seed grown In other places. The writer is inclined to Lielieve this is correct. If the grower cannot secure satisfac- tory seed, free from spots, he will find it advantageous to hand pick carefully the seed, throwing out all beans that show suspicious spots and also all wrinkled and cracked beans. This practice will give a better stand and a better crop. Do not cultivate, hoe or pick the beans when wet. The spores by which the fungus is spread are sticky when wet. They cling to the farm imple- ments and to the hauds and garments of the worker and are thus carried from place to place. The disease spreads from pod to pod after the beans are picked. Therefore it is advisable to handle the newly picked beans as little as possible and to market them as soon as possible. | and ‘Wooden Butter Worker. Sometimes butter is mottled and un- even in coloring because of the salt not being evenly and uniformly mixed and dissolved. A wooden butter fork made big and strong enough to bear a considerable strain will be a valuable help in mixing the salt. be used for taking the butter out of the churn and in working the water It may also out of the butter. Where a big churn is used the fork will be very conven- ient.—Farm Progress. Willard Buckler of _Pittsfleld, Mass., champion of the Massachu- setts Pig_club, and his pigs.
