POinsettiaS Named
After Joel Poinsett,
u. S. Statesman

Although he was a brilliant
statesman, and the friend of four
American presidents, Joel Roberts
Poinsett is famous chiefly because
he introduced the Mexican plant
known as the painted Leaf" or
Mexican Fire Plant" into the
United States.
Poinsett, then United States
Ambassador to Mexico, called the
plant to- the attention of American
botanists and grew the plant him
self as hobby at his South Caro-
lima home after he left Mexico.
The plant grew heavily in Am
erican favor especially popular
at Christmas time and was re-
named poinsettia, in honor of the
man who brought it to this coun-
try.
Contrary to popular impression,
the flaming red bracts of the poin-
settia are not flowers, but leaves,
and it is for these bracts that the
plants are grown.
It is possible to have variations
of either pink or white varieties
as we'll as Of the more usual red,
popular because it carries out the
holiday color scheme Of rich,
bright red with contrast of the
dark green of the leaves.

20 Pct. Production
Increase Possible

The Agriculture Department has
released a study indicating that
in the next four or five years
farmers Of the Nation could pro-
duce about 20 per cent mere than
they did in 1850 and IS per cent
more than 1851, If there is need
for such a volume of farm output
and provided that steps necessary
to assure 1t are taken.
This information was contained
in a report on a study made to
estimate agriculture's capacity to
produce under conditions of need
for large increases in farm output.
The report is the combined work
of the land-grant colleges and the
Agriculture Department.
The report indicated that most
Of the increase in production could
best be made through adoption
If improved farming methods and
greater use Of fertilizer and ma
chinery.
On national scale, the repor..
said these increases should b.
possible:

AS usual, the inevitable has
happened-we have started carry

Every year I find myself like
the man who didn't fix his roof
when the sun was shining be-
cause it didn't need it then, and
when it rained. he couldn't fix the
roof because it was too wet.
Every year I say I'm going to
have water piped to the barn by
next year. And every summer
about this time I start carrying
water.
After all. though, it seems a
waste Of energy to dig a ditch
and put in pipe when the branch
down in the back is running full.
And. of course. when the branch
dries up, there isn't any time to
dig and fit pipe.
The ground is too hard any,
way. How in the world could you
ever get a ditch dug when the
ground is dry and like concrete? :?
I will just have to wait until fall.
But, believe me, next summer /
am going to have water running
out of a pipe out at my barn.

Put your hand against your
dogs nose. Does 1t feel cold? #
1t does. you, like thousands of
others, probably feel that your
dog is in the best Of health. This
is not often SO. The temperature
of a dogs nose Is not, a reliable
index of his general health, It is
true that a sick acannie usually
has a hot, dry nose but, on the
other hand. there are thousands
of dogs running about in perfect
health with noses that are hot
and dry. Some dogs that consist
emily root and dig in the ground
with their noses gradually thicken
the exposed part of the nostrils.
When this happens, the nose will
be hot and dry even though the
animal Is in the best of health.
When your dog appears to be
out Of sorts and his nose is wet
and cold, do not take it for
granted there is nothing wrong.
If you are in doubt as to your
pets condition. take him to a
veterinarian.
HA ~
Did you ever notice how some
people seem to get along with
almost any strange dog they meet
while others seem to meet opposi-
ton from a strange dog when
they try to make friends with it.
II you are one Of those that
strange dogs seem to shy away
from here's a little tip:
The next time you are with q
strange dog don't try to make up
to him. Let the dog be the one
to make the advance. Never make
a quick grab at a strange dog
it only frightens him. Always,
with a dog you don't know, ap-
proach him slowly, or better still
let him approach you. Then slow
ly put your hand out and let him
sniff it. If you don't make a quick
gesture and let the dog make the
advances. you will find you will
get along with him.
Dogs normally like to ride in
automobiles but the suffering
they may endure In a car during
the warm weather is really pitiful.
The suffering doesn't occur when
the car is moving. but when an
inconsiderate owner parks his car
and locks the dog inside. The
sun beating down makes the in
terror as hot as your furnace in
the winter.
Even If the window is left open
a little the heat inside is often
Evening star., 1952-08-03

unbearable. Many a dog has al
ready died this summer from the
effects Of being locked In q car
left in the sun. IF you must leave
your dog in your car from time
to time see that the machine is
parked in the shade. Otherwise
you may have a dead dog on your
hands when you return to drive
home.
