rowPlant From
Avocado Seed
Bv Agnes Trimble

Are you having avocado salad
for dinner tonight? If not, do
serve it soon and often, too, be-
cause it is full of rich vitamins,
and it is not rationed either-at
least not yeti Tea sandwiches
are good, too, made from this
fruit.
When you serve this delicious
fruit from the Persea gratissima
tree be sure to save the large
plumlike seed. From the avocado
or alligator pear seed an interest
ing and graceful house plant can
be grown. The seed, as you know,
is large and is inbedded in GREEN
ish yellow buttery meat, and is
easily removed from its snug
abode.
The seed is usually sprouted in
water. So fill a e-mouthed
bottle or jar with water-not too
wide, however, because the seed
is to remain in the opening of the
container with only the lower
part to touch the water. If too
much of the seed is allowed to be
down in the water it will rot
instead of sprouting.
A glass tumbler can be used
successfully, provided support
of some kind is devised to hold
the seed in place. Three or four
toothpicks or long pins may act
as a prop by sticking them care
fully in the lower part of the seed
and placing the other end on the
rim of the tumbler. An old tea
strainer makes an ideal holder
cut out most of the wire mesh so
that there will be no interference
with the roots.
In about 10 days or q little
longer after the seed has been
placed in the container white
silky roots will be seen dangling
about in the water, and next a
stem will peep out from the top
of the seed bulb, and then it will
not be long until handsome,
glossy green leaves will decorate
the slender, graceful stem.
The avocado can be grown
in water for months, but when
it is to be transplanted in soil it
IS well gradually to add a little
soil to the water and then it can
be safely transferred from a
water to a soil medium with
practically no interference to
growth, Use good, rich garden
soil for potting. During the
summer it can be plunged, pot
and all, in the garden and
brought back indoors before frost.
The avocado is native of sub
tropical and tropical America. 1t
is a member of the Lauraceae
family, which includes the laurel
and the cinnamon and many
other plants having aromatic
properties. Most of this fruit
came to us for a long time from
Hawaii, Mexico and the West IN
dies, but in recent years very
fine pears are grown in Florida
and Southern California. This
tree in its native home grows
very large, often more than so
feet high, but in cultivation it is
kept within or below 30 feet-but,
do not worry, your house plant
will never reach such height.
There are three main varieties,
the Guatemalan, which are prob
ably the ones that we are get
ting in market now; the Mex
lean, we will probably get next
as it ripenS in the late spring,
and the West Indian ripens in
the late summer and winter. All
three of these groups now grow
in certain sections of Florida and
California.
This rich and delicious fruit is
sometimes called the midship-
mans butter. Besides eating the
pulp as salad, it is said that it
makes delectable salad or meat
dressing when mashed and
whipped together with lemon
juice.

Choose Tax Form Carefully And Save Money

To determine whether you must

how much your gross income
amounted to for the taxable year.
MAY CHOOSE DATE
To do that, you must know what
your taxable year, is. In most
cases, the taxable year Is the calen-
dar year - January /, 1912, through
December 81, 1912. II, however, you

With American Forces on Quad
alcanal, Jan. 21-(UP)-(Delayed)
Secretary Of the Navy Frank Knox
experienced conditions on Guadal-
canal first hand today, jolting over
the muddy, rural roads and inspect
ing forward positions under fire.
| His press conference punctured
BY the rumble of American guns,
Knox said he was returning to
Washington tremendously in.
spired" by his tour Of Allied Pacific
bases.
| Wearing o steel helmet, q rum.
pied khaki uniform and brand new
Marine shoes, Knox arrived by
plane this morning accompanied by
Admiral Chester william Nimitz,
Admiral william F. Halsey, and
Rear Admiral John s. Mccain, chief
Of the bureau Of aeronautics, and
q retinue Of navy and marine Off
GERS.
After four-hour jeep tour Of the
battle fields with Maj Gen. Alex
ander M. Patch, Knox said he was
convinced the Japanese would
never retake the southeastern Sol
onions.
IT am more convinced than ever
the war will end in an Allied VIC
tory, said Knox, "but the task
ahead of us is long and hard. Our
war production Is just beginning to
roll ard huge quantities Of war ma
terials will be made available to
tina fighting men In this area just
as fast as they can be delivered"
The two Catalina flying boats
| which brought the party to Guadal-
canal were met 100 lilies off-shore
by an escort Of fighter planes led
by ace Marine Capt. Joe Foss Of
Sioux Falls, s. D., who has de-
stroyed 26 Japanese planes.
Knox was the first man out when
the plane alighted at Henderson
field, followed closely by Nimitz.
They were welcomed by Patch,
commander Of American troops on
the island.
The secretary said the tour had
no military significance but was
mace to acquaint himself with adj
ministrative problems of the Pa
cific fighting.
IT am not a military man." Knox
said, '"And my job Is purely one OF
administration. I leave the fighting
to the field commanders but I must
know what is going on in the var
ious theaters of war in order to get
a comprehensive picture of the
needs and problems of the men
fighting the war"
Once Knox party had to draw up
to the side of the road to allow an
ambulance loaded with wounded to
move to the rear. Farther along a
jeep passed carrying a blanket
covered body across the hood.
Knox, Nimitz, and Patch trans
ferred to a half-track which took
them under fire at the front. Doz-
ems OF artillery shells from army
batteries whistled overhead as the
halftrack moved up and d. the
line.
ONLY one hitch occurred. The
half tracks door stuck and 1t took
a sweating technical rergeant with
a monkey wrench to batter 1t open.

through q pair OF captured Jap
anese binoculars at enemy positions
while q squadron OF American
bombers roared overhead on their
way TO attack installations In the

You must also decide the first
time you file a return whether
you will use the cash or accrual
basis Of reporting income. The
cash basis, which means that you
report income only during the
year in which you actually re-

due, whether you received 1t or
not), Is by far the simpler meth
