homa. Shortleaf pine loves to grow
along with oaks, hickories, sweet
gums and loblolly pines.
When these pines attain diane
ter of from to II inches, they are
about so years old. This is young
for them, as they do not mature
until they are 120, and they live to
be over 300. An acre of shortleaf
pine so years old will yield from
10000 to 10000 board feet.
Among the pines, this is the only
one that will sprout from the stump.
This is not done, however, after
the tree has a 12-inch diameter.
This pine has slender trunk that
tapers very little. The crown is
fairly short and rounded. The
leaves are dark blush green, in
clusters of two or three and from
3 to inches long. They remain on
the tree from to years.
These are the pines that develop
the smallest cones among all the
four pines. They rarely reach a
length of more than 2la inches,
maturing in two seasons.
There are so many uses this wood
fills. 1t is used extensively for build
ing houses, framing, ceiling and
panels Much Of it is needed for
window and door frames, casing and
carved work. Much of our over
stuffed furniture has pine frame.

excelsior, wood pulp, mine frames,

Uncle Roy's Corner

The plant which produces bananas
looks like tree, but it is not classed
as member of the tree family. 1t
is called a "herb."
What herb it Is! The part
which looks like tree trunk (but
which is not woody often grows to
a height OF from 10 to 20 feet.
Leaves of huge size branch out
from the upper part of the plant.
A single leaf is from 6 to 10 feet
long and from / to 3 feet wide.
Many homes in the torrid zone have
thatched roofs made from banana
leaves.
The flowers Of the banana plant
grow in clusters. AS the flowers
fade, their place Is taken by tiny
fruits in the shape of bananas.
The bananas gain in size and at
length form bunch" from 40 to
160. The average number is about
100 and the average weight of a
bunch is from 60 to 10 pounds.
In these days OF war, We do not
often see bunch Of bananas hang
ing in store. The grocer sells
his supply before bunch has much
time to hang. In peacetime, how
ever. the bapana bunch is very
common sight.
The grocer hangs his bunch SO
the free ends of the bananas point
downward. Oddly enough, that is
the opposite of how they grow. Be-
fore they are picked, the loose ends
of bananas point upward.
A type of banana known as the
"plartain" grows wild in India and
the East Indies. Africa also has
many plantains.
Plantain or banana plants were
brought to the New World by Span
iards in early days. The use of the
fruit spread widely among Indians
as we'll as whites in Latin America.
The growing of bananas for ex-
port has been important for only
about go years. That period has
seen the banana become one of
the leading fruits sold in stores in
North America
Central America leads the world
in the growing of bananas. Mil

South's two bid was little light,
but not so light as to warrant criti-

with the horrible dummy he picked
up-even though he needed help
from the enemy-his insistence on
bidding that game was fairly well
justified. And he did make the
game-as follows:
West led the spade king and ace.
Declarer ruffed with the heart ace,
then cashed the king-queen of
trumps and the ace-king of clubs.
He then exited with the 10 of clubs.
East, in with the club queen, mo-
rosely accepted the fact that he was
end-played. Perhaps he had neg
lected to watch the fall of cards
in the trump suit and thought de-
clarer could now enter dummy with
the trump seven, or perhaps he
didn't do much thinking of any
description. What he did was cash
the diamond ace, then lead the nine.
Declarer ducked in his own hand
and when West could not produce
the diamond queen the contract
was "in."
East had swindled himself. 1t
was quite true that he had to lead
a diamond after being thrown in
with the club, but why lead the ace?
South was marked with the king.
but there was another card. almost
equally important. that might well

card was the diamond 10. To take

ONE WAY TO

The pious hope that letting
the price of one commodity rise
viii not cause explosive infla-
tion is bunk. On the theory
that we could have just one
more little price rise here and
there and then stop we have
been deluding ourselves for the
past two years and a half, while
the cost Of food has risen as
per cent and the cost of living
"a per cent.
There is only one way 10
stop price increases and that IS
TO say that present prices can
not be exceeded and assure pro-
ducers and packers that prices
are not 10 be increased again.
Once that assurance is put over,
then the meat will art comm :

the unpopular point Of view and
evidence piles up il won't be
done that way II prices are
permitted 90 rise and food be-
comes consequently scarcer
with Congressional approval.
that is one way in which the next
c nction can be lost.
