illustrated.
Rhubarb is a heavy feeder and
responds to generous applications
OF manure or other fertilizers and
to ample amounts of water.
One should also conserve the
strength of flourishing rhubarb
plants by removing the flower
stems as fast as they appear and
before they can go to seed.
When harvesting next years
crop Of rhubarb remember that
one should not cut or jerk of the
stalks. The best method is to
grasp each stalk firmly close 10
its base, then give a quick out
ward pull. and twist, and the
stalk will come free without in

Reiuvenation Of Rhubarb Plants
BY DEAN HALLIDAY

RHUBARB PLANTS are i'm
proved by being divided after
they have become six or eight
years old. Therefore, if you have
some pre-war rhubarb plants In
your vegetable garden it will pay
you to reJuvenate them by divid-
ing them. To divide the plants it
Is only necessary to dig them up
and tnen cut eacn one into several
good-sized pieces with a sharp
spade.
Zach division of an old plant
should nave one or two eyes and
a part OF the roots attached, as
illustrated III the accompanying
Garden-Graph. When planting the
root divisions, do so with the

Another said: THE war Is about

The Detroit and Grand Rapids
areas are good examples Of what
is happening throughout the coun-
try. Detroit. a tight labor area,

ids)
Draft boards are not responsible
for the decline, 1t is said, as the
new recruits are largely from the
ranks of IS year olds.
Mostly 1t is the wide spread con-
viction that the war is about over,
tempting workers to shift TO other
jobs with a brighter postwar out
look.
The remedy, says VINO. Is to
be certain that the man who
changes employment be transfer
red not only to another essential"
factory Job, but to one on the i'm.
mediate urgent" list. For ex-
ample. right now in Michigan the
urgency of more and more heavy
duty trucks is very real. So are
almost all foundry items, made in
Detroit, Lansing, Muskegon, Sag
inaw and many other cities. Es-
sential, but less urgent, is the
manufacture OF certain kinds of
aircraft.
In fact, the foundry and forge
situation is one of the principal
factors limiting reconversion....
those facilities are basic in getting
the war job done.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Today I shall give short answers
to some Of the questions which have
been piling up on my desk.
Il noticed" writes Daniel Null
cahy, that you stated there were
only three good-sized countries
bearing the names Of men-Saudi
Arabia, Colombia and Bolivia.
Wasn't America named after Amer
icus Vespucius?"
Yes, Daniel, both North and South
America were named after Amertcus
Vespucius, but they are continents,
not countries.
Another boy, Allen Lapham, asks.
Where is the horizon?"
The horizon is the place where
earth and sky seem to meet. If
you are on a prairie. with no trees
to hide your view, you may see the
horizon all around you, making q
circle. Such a view may also be
obtained from hill top. . noun
tain peak or an airplane.
The words seem to meet" are
important The earth and the sky
can hardly be said to meet In q
real sense II you walk to a point
where they seem to meet, you will
find a new horizon, still a certain
distance away. Always the horizon
is some distance away, no matter
on what part of the earth We
may be.
Where are the stars when they
are not twinkling in the sky?" asks
Howard Leupp.
The stars shine in the sky dur.
ing daylight as well as at night.
We do not see them, however, be-
cause their light Is flooded out"
by sunshine. The light Of the sun
is hundreds of times as strong as
all the starlight we can see at night.
Nineteen years ago I observed a
good proof that the stars shine in
the daytime. I was at Ithaca, N. Y,
on bright January morning when
a total eclipse of the sun took place.
Suddenly darkness came. and bright
stars shone in the sky. That lasted
for only a few minutes. Then the
stars faded from sight as sunlight
came back into the sky
Roger Brookins writes:
Il would like the leafiet on how
Germany is going to look after the
war"
I have no such leafet, Roger, I
should like to know about that my.
self. Germany may be split into
two or more parts. perhaps with
Prussia cut of from the rest. Yet
that is not, to this date, a settled
plan.
