How do I plot "Dates" on the x-axis of a TS plot 

 
>
mydata<-c(575,125,950,5020,2515,565,135,945,5100,2510,580,140,955,5045,2505,
570,135,1000,5005,2520,580,130,925,5000,2525,585,120,960,5025,2520)
> myts<-ts(mydata,start=as.Date("2015-01-01"))
> myts
Time Series:

Start = 16436 

End = 16465 

Frequency = 1 

 [1]  575  125  950 5020 2515  565  135  945 5100 2510  580  140  955 5045
2505

[16]  570  135 1000 5005 2520  580  130  925 5000 2525  585  120  960 5025
2520
> plot.ts(myts)
 

I'm assuming I have to reformat my start date values.  I just assume R would
do that.

Try ?xts or ?zoo packages instead of ts.
