BY Lillian Cox Athey

This weed pest Is an introduced
perennial, and 1t increases by means
of many seed children, each equip
ped with silk parachute. These
children are ready to 60 two weeks
after the unfolding of the flower.
Each foret is perfect and fertile.
AS soon as an insect has called,
the stem holding the dorets bends
down, protecting the head from
wind and rain while the seeds are
maturing. Then, when the seed chill
dren are ready, the stem becomes
straight once more and holds q
misty gray head above the grasses.
Every passing breeze Lifts some Of
the babies and they swing below
their fluffy parasol on their voyage
to new home.
The only way to rid your lawn
of the dandelion is by dilligent use
of sharp knife or spud. You must
go down deep enough to get every
bit OF the taproot. II you do not,
the plant will sprout again with
vim and vigor. Or you can demand
ground-rent fee by cutting of the
tender leaves close to the ground,
preventing them from sending vital
violet rays to the roots.
Dandelion green's posses vitamin A
and are excellent salad and pot
herbs. They are not too bitter when
young, and they really act rs a
tonic for jaded appetites. The roots
are used in medicine and. believe
1t or not, we import hundreds Of
thousands Of pounds Of the roots
annually-or we did before the war,
at any rate.

scamps began to wonder whom else
they could scare with the terrible
creature without head or legs or
tail, which had so frightened Reddy
and Old Granny Fox.
There is Old Man Coyote; he is
forever frightening those smaller
and weaker than himself. I'd just
love to see him rtn," said Peter
Rabbit.
"The very one!" cried Jimmy
Skunk. "I wonder II he would be
afraid. You know he is even
smarter than Granny Fox, and
though she was frightened at first,
she soon got over it. How do you
suppose We can get him over here?"

are to get rid Of it. Beheading the
plant merely delays its plans for a
year. There is a long sturdy tap
root going several inches into the
ground that carries on after 1t has
lost its golden crown.
The dandelion is really beautiful
and interesting, we admit. 1t is
one of the earliest plants to send out
its leaves. Where everything is in
the plants favor, the basal leaves
have measured as much as q foot
long. These leaves are blunt, lance
shaped in outline, but deeply and
irregularly lobed and toothed. The
younger leaves are hairy. Cattle
give the dandelion wide range be-
cause every part Of the plant Is pro-
tected by bitter, milky, juices which
animals dislike.

Possum. That's all Br'er Jay needs
to say. Brer Coyote is gwine to

You won't do anything of the

who, you know, had hravely left the
the dear old Briar Patch and come
up here in the Green Forest to
take care Of Peter. Peter has had
trouble enough already, and I'm
not going to let him have any more,

Peter isn't going to get into any
trouble" spoke up Jimmy Skunk.

with Reddy and Granny Fox" said
he, land now 1t seems to me that
1t Is no more than fair to invite
them over to see Old Man Coyote
and what he will do when he first
sees the terrible creature that has
frightened them so. Granny Fox
knows now that there Is nothing
to be afraid Of, and perhaps she
will forget her anger and If she
has q chance to see Old Man Coyote
run away. Yo' know she isn't vast
ing any love on him. What do yo'
all say?"
Peter and Mrs. Peter said moi"

idea, and of course Sammy Jay was

harm you. Now please, Mrs. Peter,
don't be foolish. You don't like
Old Man Coyote, do you? You'd
like to see him get great scare
to make up for the scares he has
given Peter and you, wouldn't you?''
Little Mrs. Peter was forced to
admit that she would, and after a
little more teasing she finally agreed
to let them try this plan for giving
Old Man Coyote a scare. Sammy
Jay happened along just as Jimmy
Skunk was starting out to look
for him, and when he was told what
was wanted of him he agreed to
do his part. You know Sammy Is
always ready for any mischief. Just
as he started to look for Old Man
Coyote Unc' Billy Possum made an
other suggestion.

Uncle Roy's Corner
By RAMON COLEMAN,

Our article about chess led me to
think of this old story told about the
inventor of the game:
THE game was invented for a
King in Asia, and the King was SO
much pleased with it that he made
a big offer to the man who taught
it to him, saying, You can have
anything you want as reward, any
thing up to half of my kingdom"
After receiving the offer, the in
ventor replied, ! do not want half
your kingdom. Instead of that, I
will take a reward of one grain of
wheat for the first square on the
chessboard, two grains for the sec
ond, four grains for the third, and
so on, doubling the number of grains
each time.
The King was amazed that such
a small reward should be asked.
He agreed to the plan, and set a
man to work figuring out what
amount of wheat would be needed
to pay the inventor. When he found
out, he knew there was not enough
wheat in his whole kingdom to make
the amount needed"
So goes the story. Now comes
the question of whether it will hold
together so far as the amount of
wheat is concerned.
If you like to play with figures,
you can start to work with a pencil
and paper. There are 81 squares on
a chessboard. Allow one grain for
the first square. two for the second,
four for the third, eight for the
fourth, 16 for the fifth, and so on.
1t sounds easy, but keep working
and you will see how numbers can
grow. With my own pencil and
paper, I find the number to be
524.288 by the Goth square.
That is just good start BY the
29th square, my figures show the
number to be 268, ,435 ass.
There is an extra chance of
printers errors on large figures, so
! shall give the number for the 38th
square in this way: More than one
hundred thirty-seven thousand mil
lion!
That number of grains would
make quite a pile of wheat. but if
we keep going. the pile will grow
greatly. BY the 50th square. 1t is
well up into the trillions. Before
the end of his figuring, a person
will get into the sextillions.
A bushel of wheat contains about
$4,000 grains. Yet the 64th "dou-
bling" would account for more wheat
than the whole earth grows in a
year!
