Grating Rose Bushes

In letter to Secretary Holt. Di-
rector Garcia of the agricultural col
lcgc says:
~ ann in receipt Of Your letter of
n few days aeo ns to whether or not
il j. practical to graft rose bushes.
] do not consider that this is prac-
tical. You may graft rose bushes in
some eases and where YOU have y
bush that You wish to save ycu might
graft il. Most of our roses are prop
agatcd by cuttings or budding. Bud
ding roses is more practical thar
grafling. The budding NAV he done
during the latter part of July and
the first of August. The common
method of budlinr roses is according
to the shield method which consists
of making n sort of T cut through the
bark of the stem and then inserting
in this the bud which is removed from
the stem in the form of small shield.
After this is placed in the cut In the
limb, il is wrapped over with raf-
I'm or some white cloth being careful
that the bud is not injured in the op-
Grafton. If the bud is going to grow
in about fifteen days the raffa or
material that Il is wrapped in should
be- removed. In mostcases il does
not make any growth in the fall and
winter hut in the spring il comes out
and grows like any other bud an the
limb Occasionally these buds which
nre ont in the fall will develop and
make six or EIGHT inches growth. This
is particularly true of APPLES and
peaches.

gate some of the varieties of vour
rose bushe. would he by cuttings
Take the cuttings and root them"

iion of factory at Miessc.
Mr.. Roake states that he will be-
here April 20, when Mr.. Miesse also
viii arrive from Chicago. Final ar

agriculturist for the Holly Sugar
Company states that sugar beet seed
sufficient Ia plant small acreage is
on the way here from Colorado. and
that tests will be- made to determine
whether or not sugar beets of the
best quality can be produced here.
Mr.. Ganger will visit the valley. In
the opinion of those who have raised
sugar bcets in other sections. the
loan soils of the valley are admir-.
ably adapted to the culture. If the
sugar industry can be established
here. it will mean the very rapid de.
velopment through the investment of
large capital in the enterprise. Foi
for the farmers, it will mean cash

Travelling auditors, A. g. Whittier,
deputy travelling auditor, Paul A.
Hall and Earl T. Wiley; stenoera-
phcr. Miss Edith Wildmnn.
The appointment of Mr.. Whittier
will meet with general approval over
the state, as he is one of the best
qualified men that could have been
found, and regardless of politics hi
appointment will meet with general
satisfaction among the people. Both
gentlemen are well known over the
state. and possess all the quali6cn.
tions that go to make good officials.
Both men have held responsible po-
sitions in the state, and it is gener-
ally conceded around the capitol that
no better qualified men conld have

publican state committee, who has
been in Washington for the past two
wears as secretary to Senator Fall.

assistants in the department.

the position.
The appointment of a bank exam
iner. the power of which was givel
to Governor Mcdonald in the banking
bill passed by the last Legislature
is still hanging in the balance, an'
~ more than likely to he found want
ing, as the governor does not seen
inclined to MI the appointment. Their
is a rumor that another game and 0s'
warden will be- appointed. but tn
governor seems to have doubts a
this proposition also. and il may b
only rumor.
