TIMELY TIPS, Extension Foods
Specialists, Texas A & M College:
1. One-dish meals are always
popular with the homemaker be-
cause they are easy to prepare
and easy to serve.
2. Generally the addition of a
salad, dessert and a beverage com-
pletes an adequate meal.
3 Frozen or canned fruits make
easv-to-prepare desserts. Serve
plan or with cold boiled custard
and whipped cream.
4. Cake should be stored in a
covered container to prevent dry-
ing.
5. Aluminum foil is good for
wrapping cake if it is to be stored
in the refrigerator for several days.

HOW DO YOUR ROSES GROW?
As some of us have not had the
experience and success in rose
growing that our pioneer women,
who brought a love for beauty with
them to thi Panhandle, Mrs. W. L.
McClure and Mrs. Mai Kight, who
are among successful rose growers
of the county, were interviewed.
Both have yards in Claude that
may be visited. These yards are
successful demonstrations of their
practices. This expreience can be of
value to new gardeners.
Mrs. W. L. McClure, lovingly
known to her many friends as
Dellie", who has grown roses in
Armstrong County for almost a
half a century, visited several new
rose gardens with the agent re-
cently.
Mrs. McClure says that she be-
lieves that it would help all
roses thaL she saw to prune them
back three to six inches more and
that no canes should be left more
than six inches above soil this
time of the year.
In planting, large deep holes are
recommended. For drainage, Mrs.
McClure likes to use a quart of
rocks in the bottom of the hole
If rocks are not available, she says
that- bent--tin -eons- are-goad
"Severe pruning" is recommend-
ed by Mrs. McClure. The roots are
pruned as well as the canes. She
advises to cover graft but "not
more than two inches", then the
soil is drawn In around the canes
four or more inches above the
level of the ground. As it gets
warmer, this soil is gradually
drawn back. Roses should te pro-
tected until they start growing
well. Boxes or old buckets make
good covers. According to Mrs.
McClure, one edge is tilted to allow
for air.
When watering, Mrs. McClure
believes in soaking the soil well.
Last year, perforated 46 oz. cans
were buried by each rose for
watering. These cans were filled
on the average of about once a
week. She does not have a special
time to water but says that the
soil should never get dry.
Mrs. McClure says that the buri-
ed can method is a good way to
economize on water.
If fertilizer is used she recom-
mends well rotted barnyard manure
Neighbors of the McClure's know
that "Pop", Mr. McClure. Is a very
valuable asset to the gardening.
Mr. McClure says that he "likes
to DIG".
In conclusion, Mrs. McClure re-
marked: "I have made some fail-
ures, but I have had much success
and pleasure working with tlowers
and In the yard."
Mrs. Mai Kight. yard demonstra-
tor of Claude says: "I selected Edi-
tor McFarland roses because they
were hardy and seemed to with-
stand hot sunshine well. Before
my roses arrived, holes were dug
about two and a half feet deep and
two and a half feet across. When
I received the roses. I clipped 'he
end of each root. None were left
over twelve Inches long, the cane.;
were trimmed back to 10 to 12 and
they were placed In a bucket of
water to be carried to the holes.
Each rose was set on a cone shaped
mound of sand so that the roots
