THE LEGEND OF THE DoGwooD

If1E liEOhND III IIhh DOONOO1'
At the time of the Crucifixion the
dogwood attained the size of the oak
and other forest trees. So strong and
firm was the wood of it that it was
chosen for the timber of the cross.
To be thus used for such cruel
purpose greatly distressed the tree,
and Jesus smiled upon it, sensed this
and, in His gentle pity for sorrow,
said to it:
Because of your regret and pity
for my suffering, / make you this
promise: Never again shall the dog
wood tree grow enough to be used
for cross. Henceforth, it shall be
slender and bent and twisted, and its
blossoms shall be in the form of a
cross--two long petals and two short
petals, and in the center of the outer
edge of each petal there will be nail
prints, brown with rust and stained
with blood. And in the center of each
flower there will be an image of the
crown of thorns and all who see it
will remember that it was upon a
dogwood tree that / was crucified,
and this tree shall not be mutilated
or destroyed, but cherished as a re-
minder of my death upon the cross. :"

SPADE EARLY, BUT PLANT.
RIGHT

Victory gardeners long on enthu-
siasm but short on experience made
serious mistakes in rushing the sea-
son" last year-planting too early
some of the crops that should have
been delayed not only until danger
of frost had passed, but until the
ground had warmed up.
Thousands of dozens of tomato
plants went into gardens as soon os
the spading was done-in many cases
a full month ahead of the right time.
Seeds of peas and beans went into
adjoining rows on the same planting
date in many gardens. This was in
spite of the fact that many varieties
of peas are cool season crops and
must be planted early enough to be
we'll on their way before the soil is
warm enough to insure good
sprouting and growth of beans. AS a
result, heat injured the peas planted
too late, as many bean seeds rotted
in the soil instead of making strong
plants.
This year it is expected that many
will profit from experiences and
avoid many of the mistakes in their
time tables. Local committees are
better organized and experienced adj
vice is more readily available, reports
to the u S. Department Of Agricul-
ture indicate.

WARTIME WOOD RESEARCH
PREPARES FOR PEACE

Wood is proving important in war
other critical materials, but also in
it's own right for hundreds of uses
where tests show it is the most salts
factory material. Many of these new
developments may have peacetime
adaptations, according to the Forest
Service, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
Plywood is a wood product that
has developed greatly under the drive
of WARRIOR airplanes, PIT boats, and
many other items. Plywood has been
used widely in the past in home con-
struction and in home furnishings,
but almost exclusively for indoor
uses. With wartime development of
new synthetic resin CLUES, plywood
is now satisfactory for many outside
uses.
The field of plastics is an outstand-
ing wartime development. Some plas-
tics are made from mixtures of cellu-
lose and lignin obtained from wood
or other plant sources, and are COM
paratively cheap. The field is practic-
ally unlimited and plastic products
include many items for personal con-
venience and comfortable tops,
tiles for bathrooms and kitchens, and
a wide range of moulded articles.
After the war many products former
ly of metal, wood or ceramics, are
likely to be made of plastics.
