later than the last of February for the
March wlnds blowing against them viii
tend to keep the roots lOOsened up
and will greatly retsrd the growth Of
the plant. Flowers should not be
planted until the trees and everGreens
begin TO bud 1t is impossible to set
any date for the planting OF flowers
as the time depends entirely upon the
spring season being early or late. In
people have poor results owing to the
fact that they neglect to give the
plants the protection which is re-
quired TO prevent the winds from up-
roofing them. A wind shield made
from a gunny sack and two upright
sticks placed on the windWard side of
these plants affords q very simple and
effective protection for them. If citt-
zens of FL Paso viii take proper pride
in their city and plant flowers properly
they will be able TO make IL Paso the
garden spot of the world as this city
has an ideal climate for the growing
OF beautiful flowers"

ARIZONA is going to send record
delegation to the Panhandle & South
western Stocl1men's association conven-
ton" said F. c. Brooks of Prescott.
THE Arizona cattlemen viii come here
for both business and pleasure. Al
though nothing definite has vet been
arranged it is the general sentiment
Of the cattlemen from ny state that
some action regarding the SoTpra guar
antine should be taken at the conven-
tlon. The quarantine area is very large
and. on account OF the lax enforcement
OF the laws in the state, there has

already begun, on n small scale and.
before spring, there will be a general
increase in every line. from the cheap
