USE CARE IN COLOR OF
 MANUALS

For summer Towering. annuals are very satisfactory, blooming profusely through the entire season, while the cost of seed packet Is but trifle.
 Good taste dictates the system of planting large punches of single spe- cies together rather than the old way of mixing dozen varieties in as many square feet.
 It is the same plan that places a dozen carnations or roses in a vase rather than a heterogeneous collection fin the old-fashioned bouquet. Mass your flowers if you would secure the best effects.
 The old calliopsis, "lady's breastpin" they used to call It, is handsome plant, it's long, slender stems render ing it extremely useful for cutting, and the shades of gold and brown harmonizing nicely.
 A mass of 1t next to the shrubbery fin the background gives most pleas ing effect.
 Some handsome forms of single dahlia may be secured by planting a packet of the seed in pots early in the spring and transplanting the young seedlings to the garden as soon as danger from frost Is over.
 The colors of some is very fine. and to one liking the single flowers, the plan is a good one of getting a variety at small cost.
 Unless started very early, these seedlings rarely mature tubers that will keep through the winter. though they commence Towering almost as soon as the plants are started from the tubers.
 The chrysanthemum-fiow asters are much more pleasing. both grown fin masses and for cutting. than the .quilled" bouquet sorts. If but two kinds are started, let them be white and lavender with rose as a third choice.
 Do not order mixed packets of seed. It is q great temptation to do so, but If fine specimens are expected, the surer way is to single out one or two colors.
 While the mixed packets are in many instances highly satisfactory, the single colors are made up from the best individuals.
 With pansies for spring, sweet peas for summer and asters for autumn, one may be sure of having an abund- ance of the most beautiful cut flowers for all occasions.
 Red petunias and red geraniums are a combination to be avoided. They make a discordant note.
 Single petunias are easily grown from seed, although this seed is so minute. In fact, they will perpetuate themselves from year to year through self-sown seed.
 If you want the double varieties, the safest and quickest way Is to buy slips at the greenhouse, as the seed is diff ficult for the novice to manage
 One of the best plants to use for massing Is salvia.

Six kernels are usually tested in mak- ing single-ear tests for germination, taking two kernels from opposite sides of the ear near the tip, two from the middle, and two from the butt. Many forms of gerninating boxes are used which are satisfactory. The seed should be kept moist and at about room temperature not above 90 de- grees F. or below 90 degrees F,

WORKING WITH FRUIT TREES
Often Benefited by Application of Ni- trate of Soda and Acid Phosphate
 Around Bottom.

Apple trees in bearing, if making a poor growth, are often benefited if two or three pounds of nitrate of soda and twice as much of acid phosphate are sprinkled around each tree Do not apply fertilizers within two or three feet of the trees.
 Fruit trees seldom need fertilizers before they come into bearing, nor in any case if they are making a good growth. Forcing fruit trees. especial ly peach. into vigorous growth lowers their resistance to cold and delays fruit production.

SUCCESS WITH COSMOS

Sow cosmos the first of March if you wish to get any satisfaction out of it. Push it along as fast as you can. It does not transplant readily, there fore grow it in pots. Then sink the pot in border and from the time the plants are six inches high until the end of July the shoots should be pinehed out. This will keep the plants low and stoeky. Long after severe frosts your cosmos will be giving you your beautiful flowers for the window.

 Under ordinary circumstances it may not be absolutely necessary to test ev- cry individual ear. If large number of typical ears show germinating tests as high as 97 per cent, the seed in gen eral may be considered good. Under conditions at all unusual, especially in sections where the last years crop did not ripen normally, it will repay a corn grower to test every ear that he intends to use for seed

Ouestionaires Are Now Being
Mailed Out and 1t is Up to
Registrars to S e e T h a t
They Get Theirs at Once.

The local board at Tombstone has
begun to mail out the Questionaires SO
that the men in Cochise county will
have plenty of time to fill them out
and to study them over. The question
aires are dated December 18th and the
drafted men will have seven days to
fill them out and return them
from that date. A Snumber OF the
missionaries have already been re-
cived in Bisbee and others will arrive
during the next few days and the regis
tered men should see that they ge:
theirs as soon as possible Failure to
return the QUESTIONABLE within seven
days makes the registrant liable to
punishment by fine or Imprisonment
for one year and may result in the loss
of valuable rights and in immediate in
duction into military service.
Every man in the county who Is
registered will receive one and ony
man who has been registered but who
is not wearing the uniform in the serv-
ice must fill out the questionable.
1t is up to each individual to &C
quaint himself with every one OF the
requirements affecting registered men
and to carry out every letter OF the
law. Having been rather lenient WITH
transgressors of the first draft, simply
because the government wished to
give the man the benefit of the doubt,
il is known now that no mercy WEI De
shown men from now on, who either
because of ignorance or will run
afoul of the regulations.
The first duty is to get hold OF one
of the missionaries and fill it out. The
board has started at the top OF the list
of order numbers, sending out the
missionaries to per cent of the men
in its jurisdiction. At the end OF 20
business days, all OF the men will have
received the questionaires.
Counting from the day that the ques-
tionaire is mailed, the man is given
seven days in which to have 1t back
in the hands of the local board.
Any registered man having business
that will take him outside of the Juris-
diction of his local board or away from
the address that is recorded as his with
his local lizard, owes it to himself To
get to his local board and give them q

tionaire can be sent The question
aire will be mailed to the last known
address of the registrant, and II the
registrant fails to keep the board
posted as to his change of address, he
will be the loser.
The first duty of the registrant'
then. is to see that he gets one OF the
ouestionaires, fills it out, and returns
il to his local board within the seven
day limit.
