many years ago there were
nurseries that supplied own-root
roses.
Roses may be propagated by
two methods. The FIRST and
most common is to take current
growth and root, under glass.
1t is usually referred to as soft
wood cutting propagation. Glass
or plastic is used to maintain
the high humidity necessary for
a rose to form roots quickly and
supply the moisture needed to
the leaves. Since glass and
plastic draw heat from the sun
they should be placed in the
shade to prevent cooking the
cutting.
The cuttings are normally
treated with a roofing hormone,
and 1t is best to put them in
sand although a great many
are rooted in soil. One Of the
newer methods consists of hav-
ing a small column Of sand
surrounded by a soil mixture in
a flower pot. AS soon as the
roots form on the cutting they
reach out into the soil and this
saves handling. Also there is
no delay in the growing process.
The second method of propa-
cation by cuttings is to take
mature wood in the late fall or
early winter. The cuttings are
stored over winter in a damp,
cold but frost free place until
early spring. They are then
placed in rows in the garden
and under normal circum-
stances q goodly percentage will
root in short order. They might
well be left in the garden until |
the following spring when they
should have q strong root sys-
tenn and can be transplanted
without injury.
1t takes about three years to
develop as large a plant on its
own roots as can be produced
by budding in two years or less.

Eight Years Needed
To Introduce Rose

1t takes a professional hy-
bridizer approximately eight
years to introduce a new rose
variety from the time Of the
first cross pollinating, to seed
ling planting and the final Sc
lection. Large quantities of the
desired varieties must then be
grown to- produce the bud wood
from which mass propagations
can be made. Then, according to
Armstrong Nurseries. Ontario,
Calf, it takes two more years
to grow the plants to market
size.

Each year there appears the
usual controversy as to whether
or not roses should be grown
from cuttings. Obviously the
patented roses should not be
propagated except by the owner
for his own use. The other
question is whether or not roses
do better on the rootstock sup
piled by the nurseryman or on
their own roots.
This latter question may be

FWS ASKS WATERFOWL
HUNTERS TO AID IN
ANNUAL MAIL SURVEY

Daniel H. Janzen, Director of the
Bureau of Sport Fisheries and
Wildlife at Washington, D. c., to-
day urged all waterfowl hunters
who have received registration
cards with the purchase of their
Federal duck stamps to cooperate
with the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice of the U. S. Department of the
Interior by filling out and prompt
ly returning the indicated portion
of the form.
This year more than 1400 post Of
fees throughout the country have
been furnished with double post
card forms which are handed to
purchasers of duck stamps at these
particular post offices.
One-half of the card is to be
filled out by the hunter and re-
turned at once to the Bureau. The
other half is to be retained as
sort of scorecard on which the
hunter can list the numbers and
kinds of waterfowl which he bags
during the coming season, and the
number of days he hunted.
"This sample of hunters who re-
turn the cards, said Director jan
zen, twill receive questionnalres at
the end of the hunting season IN
which they will be asked to report
their seasonal hunting success. 1t
is highly important that all duck
stamp purchasers receiving regis
tration cards fill them out and mail
them promptly. Cards from every
one contacted are necessary to
make our sample representative Of
the entire hunting population"
The chief purpose of the survey
is to determine as accurately as
possible the extent of the water
fowl hunting kill for the season IN
order that proper balance be-
tween the harvest of these birds
and the hunting regulations may
continue to be maintained.
This annual mail survey was
inaugurated on national basis
during the 1852 hunting season
when $50 post offices cooperated
with the Service in handing out the
card forms. According to Director
Janzen, it was one of the most
progressive steps ever taken by the
Fish and Wildlife Service in the
matter of estimating the annual
harvest of waterfowl.

ONE WAY ONE MAY GET
A BIRTH CERTIFICATE
North Carolina Residents May Obtain
Proof OF Age From Census
Bureau

Last year, 9,032 residents of
North Carolina turned to the U.
S. Bureau of the Census for help
in proving they were born. These
persons were among an estimated
80 million United States residents
who are without proof of age or
birth. The historical records of the
Census Bureau provide the only
source of this information for
most Of these 80 million people.
Proof of age or birth is needed
today to collect social security and
other retirement benefits. 1t is
needed to obtain passports. 1t is
needed to qualify for jobs carry
ing certain age or citizenship re-
quirements. 1t is needed for some
forms of insurance.
Since 1920, the Census Bureau
has provided more than three and
one-half million persons wi t h
copies of their Census records on
age, place of birth, citizenship, or
kinship. Persons seeking such rec
ords of facts about themselves
should write to the Personal Gems
us Records Service Branch, Bureau
of the Census, Pittsburg, Kansas,
for a Census Records Search APP
plication Form. A fee of $500 is
charged for a search of not more
than two censuses for one person
and for one copy of the informa-
ton found. Additional copies cost
$1.00 each. An expedited search
costs $500. Expedited searches are
usually completed within a few
days while the routine $500 search
may take up to 80 days, depending
upon the backlog Of requests and
the ease or difficulty in locating
the information.
The personal information in the
records of the 1000 and later
Censuses is confidential by law
and may be furnished only upon
the written request of the person
