TIMELY HINTS FOR FARMERS.
(continued from page 1 ]

species to be noted next should come to be widely grown. It is to them that we must look for cut flowers and diversity of color dur, ing our festive winter seasons when the landscapes in other coun- tries are bleak and sere. During their season of growth they may be seen in profusion on the University campus at Tucson, and the Capitol grounds at Phoenix, where no little attention has been given to them.
 In addition to Canterbury bells. foxgloves, hollyhocks and gaillar- dias, certain of the annuals, as phlox and larkspur, will continue, with cultivation and frequent watering, to blossom we'll into the summer season. No other of our winter growing plants supply so many flowers for cutting, nor so wide a range of color as the sweet pea. They should be given deep, rich soil and moderate irrigation, the latter in particular, after the first flower buds appear. Excellent results follow planting them in trenches a few inches below the level of the ground, and gradually filling these in with soil and routed material as the plants get some size. This insures deep roofing during the dry spring, with the re- suit that the flowers continue of good quality for much longer time.
 There are few perennial species blossoming in winter and early spring that should be planted at the same time as the annual flowers just noted. Of these the we'll known sweet or English violet is one of the most satisfactory. Be- sides blossoming freely during the winter, with moderate watering 1t remains green throughout the year, and even if allowed to go unirri- gated two or three months in the summer a fresh growth starts up in the early fall, from the under ground stems. Violets should be reset about every second year to keep the roots from becoming too matted, and also to renew the soil. The usual custom of planting win. ter growing plants like the sweet violet in the spring time is not good, as such newly-set plants re- quire constant watering through out the summer to keep them from dying. Far better it is to set them in the fall just as growth begins naturally. This is safe rule to fol- low with all plants.
 The various kinds of Narcissus furnish excellent cut flowers for winter and early spring, though they are often shy bloomers. The more common of these are the Chinese sacred lily, poets narcis- sus, trumpet narcissus, paper white narcissus, common daffodils, and
 onquils, though several others of the group do equally we'll. Sep tember and October are also good months to set out such other bull bous plants as the star of Bethle- hem, Roman hyacinths, the several varieties of oxalis, and the Asiatic ranunculus. The latter furnishes an abundance of bright colored, daisy.like flowers in the spring, being considerably grown in the Salt River Valley. Irises represent another group of valuable spring bloomers. The German iris is planted more than any other, and always with good results. A clump

| showy plant. is the sweet flag iris { (lris pSeudacOrUS), quite common abOut Phoenix. The little Spanish iris (IriS riphium) also does we'll here. Bulbous species like the above perennials in general need little attention when once estab- lished, but continue Towering in season year after year. For this reason they are more economical in the long run than annuals which need resowing, though the latter make quick showing which is al- ways desirable on new grounds.
 Carnations, verbenas, and peri winkle of trailing myrtle, likewise are best planted in the early fall. Carnations in particular, should be given a moderately we'll enriched, sandy loam. These and verbenas are nearly continuous bloomers with us, while the varieties of peri winkle are evergreen trailers, with blue bell-shaped flowers appearing in the spring. Periwinkle is gen. eral purpose plant, growing almost wherever planted, and thriving in both poor and rich soil, and in shade and sunlight.
 Varieties for summer and faH blooming. On account of heat and aridlty, only the hardest garden plants will grow through the sum. mer season with any degree of sue cess, and even these require ire quent or moderate irrigation. Of the annuals the following have been found to be the most success ful: zinnias; globe amaranth; princes feather; cockscomb; hya- cinth and scarlet runner beans; golden feather; summer chrysan- themums; cosmos; China asters; our.o'clock or marvel of Peru; cas. tor beans; garden sunfiower; balsam apple (Momordica); cypress vine; and the various morning glories including scarlet. blue and purple lowered varieties, also Japanese morning glory and the moon flower. The seeds of the above should be sown by the middle of April, and preferable two weeks earlier, in order to give the young plants good start before the beginning of the hot weather
 Of the above, China asters and cosmos are the most desirable for cut flowers, while for color and dis play zinnias, globe amaranths, and four-o'clocks rank among the first. China asters, summer chrysanthe- nuns, golden feather, cosmos, cas tor beans, and the morning glories are least resistant to drought and should be watered twice a week during the drier parts of the sum- mer; the others are robust, deep- roofing plants succeeding with ordinary care, :. c., irrigation once a week or whereabouts. Morning glories are very much at home in this country and may be sown any time from April to August. As herbaceous climbers they have few equals. They range from low bIoomers with scarlet or sky-blue flowers to the tall-climbing moon- flower. There are at least six na- tive morning glories in Arizona in addition to the introduced one mentioned.

MAY GET DOG TAX BACK
Up in Bibb County Queer Mistake
Was Made By Many Fond
Owners of CANNES.

! MACON, Ga.-A ludicrous error,
though a perfectly excusable and
harmless one, has been committed at
Tax Collector Jones' office through
a misinterpretation of the recent leg
islative enactment regarding the col
lection of a license for each dog. 1t
was construed to read that the fee
should be collected beginning on the
first of the year, and accordingly it
was announced beforehand that all
owners of dogs in Bibb county would
have to register and pay 81 per dog;
otherwise the collector was author
lied to issue fl fas against the dog,
have the brute taken into custody by
deputy sheriff and sold at auction
on the court house steps.
The first of the year saw the hast
en1ng of many fond canine owners
to the county tax Office, where they
somewhat begrudgingly paid the re-
quired amount They kicked be-
cause they also had to pay dollar
to the city for a tag. Since the first

when they receive a request from
the tax office to return their receipt

They do not know that the law re-

REFORM BY SUICIDE.
The Patriots Devotion to the Pee-pul

The Patriots Devotion to the Pee-pul
Not as Strong Here as in China.
The course of true reform never
runs smOoth-not even in China.
Not long ago Yung Lin, Chinese
patriot, respondent over the rapidity
with which everything was going to
the Chinese terriers, wrote long let
ter to the Emperor Regent complain
ing about things in general To add
emphasis to his remarks he commit
ted suicide. The government, in
recognition of his patriotic devotion,
issued an edict in his honor, but
whether it has taken any steps to-
ward the reforms he suggested the
dispatch does not state.
The letter of protest is said to be
one of the most remarkable pieces
of undertaking on record.
Rice said this ardent reformer
in one choice passage, has become
as dear as pearls, and firewood as
costly as cassia buds. -
f. So it seems than even in PARKWAY
China the ultimate consumer has his
grievances If We only had in Amer
lea men who would put as much de-
votion into living for their country
as poor Yung Lin did into dying for
his we should indeed be fortunate.

WHAT THE MEAT BOYCOTTlSUP AGAINST
Millions of Dollars Worth of Food Stufs in Cold Storage
and Can Be Kept Almost 1ndefnitely

In connection with the widespread
claims against the food trusts and the
popular boycott against meat that is
being organized some figures fur
nished by the Ice and Refrigerator
Blue Book of the carcasses that are
being held in cold storage should
prove most interesting, According to
the Blue Book there is held in cold
storage:
Fourteen million cattle.
Six million calves.
Twenty-Five million sheep and
lambs.
Fifty million hogs.
According to these figures from the
official guide book, circulated only
among the cold storage men, there is
in storage one entire animal for each
adult in the United States, with
enough whole animals left over to
give two to each family.
This meat is being held in 558
cold storage plants. In addition it
may interest the housekeeper to
know that in seventy-eight fish freez-
ing plants in the country there are
fish waiting to be doled out that are
valued at twenty-five million dollars.
In other cold storage plants dur
ing any year now, according to the
storage mems own statistics, the
struggling wage Garner will find:
One billion eight hundred million
eggs.
One hundred and thirty million
pounds of poultry.
Fruits valued at fifty million dol
lars.
Then, besides, there are millions of
pounds of potatoes, onions, thousands
of turtles, cells, cases of canned goods,
and milk, butter and cheese valued
at one hundred million dollars.
The total value of meat and food
stuffs placed in cold storage during
a year at present is, according to the
figures of the storage concerns, close
to three billion dollars.
These cold storage figures do not
include the tremendous value of
liquors in storage at breweries, dis
tilleries and private places; the value
of furs in storage, nor the value of
food supplies in cold storage at pri-
vate plants.
All these food stuffs are hustled
into cold storage at the time when,

per because of the general disorgan-

Prospect Very Graev.
Besides the failure of the gas and
electric lighting plants Paris is con-
fronted with an oil famine. Scores
of oil barges from Rouen are tied up
in the Seine and the great depots of
distribution on the outskirts of Paris
are flooded The oil refineries at
Rouen are endangered. The situa-
ton in the provinces is no better
than in the city, as they are supplied
with oil from Paris
An official bulletin tonight stated
that the water at Pont Royal will
reach the thirty-foot mark tomorrow
morning. The prospect for the imme-
date future is grave, as it is es-
timated that the Seine tonight and
tomorrow will rise from two to three
feet.
Moreover, it is feared that the high
tide, which, setting in beginning to-
night, will aggravate the situation,
pouring in an additional volume of
water and adding strong pressure to
that which is already invading the
city underground.
Reports received here from Rouen
say that the quays and fields for
many miles are under water. Half
the town of Plaisance in the depart
ment of Gere is submerged, and hun
dreds of refugees are making their
way to Paris. Extensive floods have
occurred in Gironde, where the riv-
ers continue to rise at an alarming
rate.

AS IF DOOMED PARIS FIGHTS RIVER SEINE
With Death on Every Hand and Epidemic Threatening
Monetary Loss to French Capital 2Oo,oOOOOO

PARASITIC snow has ceased and
the weather is moderating, but the
Seine is still rising, and Paris, like
a doomed city, is holding it's breath
in terror. Half the city is in dark
ness In the gloom galloping or
derl1es are bearing instructions which
can no longer be sent by telephone.
The army of police, fremen and SOL
diers give the appearance of a CITY
fighting for it's life.
Every minute brings graver dan
gers. New areas are being mum
dated, quays are collapsing, yawning
chasms appear in the street. Water
of the Seine has invaded the entire
labyrinth of underground Paris. 1t
threatens ruin and destruction every
where.
Scarlet Fever Appears.
What new disaster will come to the
water-logged city before the Seine
begins to fall no one can predict.
Already the damage is estimated
officially at $200,OOO,O00, and every
hour adds millions more. The catas-
trophe promises to exceed the linn
its of a national disaster and become
international. The death roll is
growing at a frightful rate, and
when the epidemic, which now ap-
pears inevitable, breaks out, it will
run into thousands. Already scarlet
fever has appeared among the refu-
gees at Ivey.
Among the superstitious there is
talk of the destruction of Paris as
a result of the appearance of Hal
ley's comet. The authorities are
bending their energies to the rescue
of the imprisoned and the succor of
the homeless. The public subscrip-
lions opened by the newspapers have
reached nearly 100000, while the
Red Cross and other relief societies
have gone nobly to work.
Fighting Like Madmen.
The extent of the floods in Paris
may be judged by the fact that about
half the length of the quays within
the city are under water, which is
pouring into the streets, and thou
sands of laborers and soldiers are
working like madmen building &C.
ment walls to hold back the current.
The foreign Office and the Hotel Pa
lais d'Orsay have been abandoned,
as the cellars are full of water. The
Continental Hotel and many resi-
dences in the aristocratic quarter
are rapidly being evacuated. There
is ten feet of water in the subway
station in front of the Care st. La

MS Has Died Several Times.
Nothing except cat has more
lives that a pensioner, it seems. In
1875 Sumeral Dennis died, accord
ing to the records of the pension bu-
reau, after having received govern
ment bounty for service in the war
of 1912. The same records again
show that Sumeral Dennis had pre-
viously died in 1847, following SER
vice in the Mexican war and pen
sion. Now the bureau has been in
formed that Sumeral Dennis is once
more dead, after having drawn a
civil war pension. Doubtless Sumer-
