delicacy for desserts and sailed
nuts.
Though an acre of pinon trees
may produce as many as 300 pounds
of nuts the acre, the number of
seeds available for new trees is
small. The seeds are not all fertile.
Man, animal and bird are fond of
them. Also a Weevil, a knowing
insect, beats them all by entering
the cone before the nuts are ripe.
In order to keep the nuts from
autumn through the winter months,
they must be baked as soon as pos
sible after harvesting. This tree
is a native of the Southwest. 1t has
been grown successfully in some of
the Eastern States. 1t is a hand
some bushy evergreen as far north
as Massachusetts.

and thus the unsightly place is soon
made attractive and prosperous.
Pinon pines usually reach
height Of Is to 20 feet, though so
feet has been attained. The growth
of this tree is slow and deliberate.
When $50 years old the trunk will
be about II inches in diameter and
about feet from the ground. BY
the time it has reached the age of
375 years, its trunk diameter will
be 80 inches-breast high.
The root system is shallow. The
bark is reddish brown and quite
thin. 1t is irregularly furrowed
with shallow diagonal ridges.
Though the wood is not durable in
contact with moisture, it is used for
posts, rails, telephone poles, some
construction and mine-logging. 1t
is almost fire resistant. Young trees
are often killed because of over
grazing. The greatest foe to these
hardy pines is a two-host fungus
disease.
Pinon pines are covered by stami-

nate blossoms in the spring. They
grow in clusters and are dark red
with abundant pollen. The purple
pistillate flowers are found situated
on the ends of twigs, and are short
stalked. Winds carry the pollen to
them.
Needles are born in pairs. They
are sharp pointed, often curved,
smooth edged. almost 1-inch long
and very strong These dark yellow
ish green needles remain on the
branches for as long as nine years,
some begin to fall with the fourth
season.

Military Action Hinted If

~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, April IL.
Balkan capitals heard with anxi-
ETY. today reports that Germany had
warned Southeastern trade circles
that they would invite action which
might extend to the military sphere
If they accorded the allies any
favors detrimental to the Reichs
interests.
The warning, which said Ger
many would regard as "unneutral"
any move tending to cut off her
flow Of vital supplies from the Bal
kans, was given weight by rumors
that more than 100000 Nazi troops
had been concentrated near the
Hungarian border and nearly zoe, 900
more at Cracow in conquered Po-
land.
Two other overnight developments
contributed to the growing tension

scribed as "the agent of another

Rumanian authorities feared that
the killings, which took place in the

Warnings Oral.
The trade warning to the Balkans
was said by usually reliable sources
to have been delivered orally to
trade leaders in southeastern coun-
tries-rather than to the govern
ments-by Nazi representatives.
Meanwhile, German news bull
letin asserted that Germany, which
has been demanding the right to

River to protect oil and wheat ship
ments against British sabotage.

with the Danubian nations that
river shipping will be safeguarded
with all means"
Unconflrmed reports said that
Rumania and .Yugoslavia had
agreed to place hundreds of river
boatmen under military command
to assure Germany that her vital
Danube traffic would be protected.
Bulgaria was said to be considering
similar action.
1t previously had been reported
that many river pilots had signed

company to stay off the river, there
