The SWwnna Mr. and Mr. Rhalin Cooley re turned Tuesday niht from Nash ville, Term., where they attended the National Iris society conven tion which will come to Oregon In mid-May, 1949. It has been known for three years that the society will meet in Portland in 1949 and interest in irises has grown rapidly. Almost S00 iris growers attended this year's event and approximately the same num ber will come to Oregon. While the gardens were lovely in the south, they are no more so than Oregon gardeners hope to offer the visitors next year the Cooleys said. The Oregon meetinc will be three-day event and already ar rangements are being made to have buses run to the Cooley gar den of Silverton and Schreiner'a on route 2. Salem. The hybridizing gardens of Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge. one of the best known hybridizers in the nation, will also be opened to the convention visitors. More care should be taken in planting irises, Mr. Cooley states. It is true, he adds, that irises are among the easiest of all plants to grow, but anyone who plans to grow even a few irises should not be content to achieve merely in different results. Most irises will succeed well in any type ef soil from almost pure sand to stiff clay. Where one may choose, a medium heavy, fairly well en riched soil -- in other wards, or dinary good garden soil - - is to be preferred. Co easy on fertilizers, especially animal fertilizers. Mr. Cooley warns. Too much fertiliz er will sometimes promote lush growth ar.d eventual rut. Bone meal, well worked to, is safe and good Don't plant in deeply shaded sit uations, sr.d avoid places where roots of large trees or big shrubs rob the soil of plant food and moisture. Be sura drainage is good. Plant at least two feet apart Afer the firs, year, sparse ap- peirarx.es v.ill have vanished. If immediate effect is desired, plant in groups of three of a kind, about a foot apart, the groups to be spa ced at three-foot intervals. 'Although comparatively free from garden enemies, soft rot of the rhizomes or spotting of the fo liage sometimes manifests itself. The former, usually the result of poor drainage or an over-wet sea son, can be controlled by cutting back to sound tissue or replant ing. Leaf spot, like the measles, is not fatal. Mr. Cooley insists. Cut away and burn infected fo liage and dust with copper or bor deaux solution. After flowering season, in June and July, the new offset or rhi zomes are fairly well developed and if removed and planted at that time or during the next few months will generally bloom the following spring. The rhizomes ate in a semi-dormant state dur ing these months, and when de tached and replanted in moist soil immediately will put out new rootlets and commence growth. If the ground is dry at planting time, pour enough water into the hole to settle the soil about the roots. Watering should not be done un less the ground appears to be get ting quite dry, as too much mois ture will cause rot and in some in stances will promote excessive growth before winter and the bloom center will be killed off by spring frosts.

T. asks when to prune and transplant her winter blooming garden heather. Says it Is now i through blooming' fend ' looks shaggy. Ans.: May prune now cutting back quite severely. Would not attempt to move too large a bush but would divide and move parts of it. Should this rain continue, the division and replanting could be done now. Fall is the best time, however. Early lalL N. K. L. asks for identification of flower and foliage mailed. Ans.: This is a Crown Imperials, related to fritilarias. It is an old fashioned flower, discarded by many because of its unpleasant odor, but it is found in many of the modern gardens. S. M. M. sends a leaf of a holly hock and wants to know what is wrong with it. Ans.: The leaf shows rust, a dis- I ease that can badly injure and frequently kill, hollyhocks and snapdragons. The plants should be sprayed immediately with good copper fungicide. Bordeaux will do the work. Spraying should con tinue at two-week intervals throughout the growing season. In the case of snapdragons, the rust resistant varieties can now be ob tained and are usually more sat isfactory in the average garden. Legion to Meet At New Home First meeting in new headquar ters of Capital post 9, American Legion, on South Commercial street will take place Monday night. Commander Lawrence Os terman said Saturday. A motion to lift the ceiling of the post's membership, now lim ited to 1,031, will be a main item of business, Osterman stated. No special ceremony will be connect ed witn the opening meeting. The meeting will be held in the post's main assembly hall. The building has undergone renovation and repairs this past week, since the post moved out of its former headquarters at Chemeketa and Cottage streets. &SL AUhSL anxL qDtoituL MAJOR FLORAL EVENT OF THE Candidates for Council to Talk YEAR!

GOP Leads By 19,845 in Registration An all-time high voter registra tion in Oregon 635,631 still leaves republicans 19,845 ahead of the democrats, a final tabulation showed Saturday. The figure com pared with the previous high of 602,013 at the 1944 presidential general election and 495,909 for the 1944 primary and 551,753 for the 1946 primary election. Included In the 1943 primary election registrations are 322,490 republicans, 302.645 democrats, 2,902 independents, 352 socialists, 375 prohibitionists and 6,868 mis cellaneous. Republican registrations exceed the democratic registrations by 19,845. In 11 counties the demo crats lead in the registrations. These are Multnomah, Baker, Co lumbia, Coos, Crook, Deschutes. Harney, Klamath, Linn, Union and Wallowa. Few Decreases Counties which showed a de crease in total registration from the 1946 general election were Coos, Lincoln, Multnomah, Wallo wa and Wheeler. Multnomah coun ty's registration is 1,471 less for the 1948 primary election than for the last general election. Coos county lost 935 registrations, Lin coln 488, Wallowa 42 and Wheeler 98. The tabulation shows that every county in Oregon, with the excep tion of Wheeler, has increased its registration, both republican and democratic for this year's primary election, when compared with the 1946 primary.

Liberty 322.490 302.643 635.631 Dave O'Hara, in charge of the state elections bureau, attributed Multnomah county's reduced total registration for this year's primary election, when compared with the las.t general election, to the elim ination of so-called "dead wood" from the voting lists. It was O'Hara's opinion that be tween 70 and 75 per cent of the registered voters would go to the polls at the primary election this year due to the national campaign now being waged In Oregon, the mayoralty election in Portland, and the fact that all three of Ore gon's top officials governor, sec retary of state and state treasurer are to be nominated. - t "v-. 1 w LaaaX' W Grant Murphy Present COUNTY JUDGE CANDIDATE For Re-Elcction Pd. adv. by Grant Murphy ill rem LOT7 OATS IfO Clias. 2L Evans 418t S9f State St (F Vote for S.
