By LUlle L. Madsea
Garden Editor. 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.

Qaestlens and Answers
C. 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.

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.

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. -
