Ii a vote were taken to ascertain the
most popular flower, without doubt
the rose would receive Il regular land
slide victory over the rest of the floral
candidates Not only does ''the queen
|of flowers" possess beauty Of form and
color together with delicious fragrance,
but a rose is equally beautiful on the
bush or cut and used for decorative
purposes Many people are deferred
from growing and enjoying roses be-
ca use of the seeming difficulties Of Gull
tivation difficulties which are elimi-
mated if varieties suitable to the eli
mate, soil, and location are chosen.
Roses will grow and give good re-
turns in any fertile, well-drained
ground, but if the highest quality is
desired it is necessary to select an
open,, sunny position, sheltered from
north winds and clear Of the roots OF
trees and shrubs. A soil capable OF
growing good garden or field crops Is
suitable for roses. The best soil is
sod from an old pasture and well
rotted COW manure. OF the CONNER
cial fertilizers, ground bone is excel
lent to add as additional food, but will
not answer as substitute for COM
pest. CottOnseed meal, wood ashes
lime. and muriate of potash may be
used. Dig out the bed to depth Of
two or three feet and if drainage Is
imperfect, improve it by putting six
inches to one foot of broken stones,
cinders or any rough material in the
bottom, and providing an adequate out
let. Fill in with mixture of soil and
manure. 1t is better to make. the beds
some time in advance of planting to
allow time for them to settle.
Can Plant in Spring.
Spring plant has an advantage over
fall planting in this section Of the coun-
try and should be done as soon as the
ground is dry enough to work
Stock should be planted as soon as
possible after II arrives. III the plant
roots are dry when received soak them
i'm water an hour or more. When
ready to set the plants should be taken
to the permanent location with roots
thoroughly covered, no matter how
short the distance. More plants are
killed by undue exposure of roots at
planting time than from any other
ca use.
Plant little deeper than they were
at the nursery. Trim of broken roots
and any that are too long just before
putting into the hole, which should be
several inches larger across than the
roots will extend and ample in depth,
with little loose earth on the bottom.

When all are planted each may be
watered, although this is not necessary
IL the roots have been soaked before
planting. After planting do not water
unless very dry weather follows and
take care even then not to overdo it
till after growth starts.
When And How To Prune.
Roses should be planted far enough
apart to reach maturity without crowd
ing. At time of planting One-half to
two-thirds Of the wood should be re-
moved. As far as practical, after cuS-
ting weak branches and canes which
sse too long, cut out whole branches
rather than to cut on ends. After the
first year pruning should consist in re-
moving dead, dying, or weak wood.
All pruning of roses should be done in
the spring.
The Hybrid Perpetuals, Hybrid Teas
Teas, Bengals, Bourbons, and Chinas
are the roses available for cut flowers
There is multitude of varieties and
everyone should be able to find some
to his liking. Selection OF varieties is
best made after. consultation with
nearby growers or nurserymen who are
familiar with local conditions. The
size or age Of the plant is largely a
matter of choice. Three-year-old plants
give the quickest results. TwO-year-
old plants transplant better than older
ones and are rather more satisfactory.
Cultivation should begin early and con-
tinue till within six weeks Of the dor
mant season. At the first cultivation
in the spring the winter manure mulch
should be worked into the soil, or
good coating of manure specially APP
plied. The first cultivation should be
deep to incorporate the manure with
the soil.
Insects which commonly affect roses
are of two general types. those which
eat the foliage and those which SUCK
the sap. For the first, a poison sprayed
on both surfaces of the leaves is effec-
tual for most kinds.
For the rose chafer, frequent hand
picking or screening with mosquito
netting affords the only means OF pre-
venting their destructive work. For
the sucking insects solution OF AZ per
cent nicotine sulphate, pyrethruu, fish
oil soap, kerosene emulsion. or lime
sulphur, applied in fine sp.ay, is best,
or if garden hose is available, a
strong stream Of water will remove
the rose aphis. Powdered sulphur or
Bordeaux mixture are recommended
in the control Of mildew. Farmers
Bulletin 40 gives complete directions
for growing Roses ir the home garden.

ASKS WRIT ID COMPEL. STATE AUDITOR GIVE HIM SALARY WARRANT

Petitioning the court for Q writ of mandamus directed at Jesse L. Boyce. state auditor, asking that he be ordered to deliver warrant to the state treas urer was filed by J. ?. Ivy yesterday, the petitioner making claim that the auditor refused to grant him salary and other claims as inspector of apia- ries.
 Ivy charges that claims made by him and filed with the state auditor in the sum of $94755 were refused by the auditor, although bearing the endorse ment of Governor Hunt.
 Ivy was appointed inspector of api- aries by Governor Hunt on July ', 1913. In January, 1918, Peter H. Benson made demand for the paraphernalia of the office. although Ivy claims that he was never advised by the governor that he was no longer inspector, nor was he removed from office by the then gov ernor nor the present governor. He received his salary until January, 1917, and the claims he now makes is for salary dating from January, 1917, un- til December 29, 1917. His claims for salary is given as $45S.32, while his other claims in connection with ms oI- flee are given at $4S9.23.
 When Ivy presented his demand he was told that it did not bear the ap- proval of the governor and although it had never been requested before, he secured the approval. Even after re- ceiving the endorsement the. auditor refused to deliver the warrant to the treasurer. according to the petitioner. The mandamus action brought by Ivy was filed by his counsel, B. E. 1 Marks.

 TO HE SOUTHWEST

A disquieting bit of news was re- ceived in a telegram last night to Gov ernor Campbell from Walter M Dan burg, general secretary of the state council of ddense of New Mexico. Mr. Danburg said that message had just been received there from Hale Holden, regional director of railroads under United States administration. with headquarters at Chicago, saying that the reduced rate on feed +0 the south west would be cancelled on January 25
 The New Mexican state council i'm mediately wired a protest requesting that the rate be kept in force 50 days more. urging that the months of Feb ruary and March are the worst of the year for stockmen.
 Governor Campbell at once brought the matter to the attention of the statt council of defense, and Secretary Charles R. Green joined in the protest, as did E. W. Stephens. secretary of the livestock sanitary board. The message was also referred to the local cattle mems association, but President Shy der could not be communicated with last night.
