Leaf dropping sir. oly means the plant is going into its normal rest period, which !j.ts until about May 1. After the leaves fall, put the plant in a cool place 40 to 0 degrees and water sparing! v. About May 1, cut the plant back quite heavily, to remove excess wood and make it more shapely. Shake off the old soil and repot in a mixture of three parts garden loam, one part well-rotted manure and one part leafmold Use a pot just large enough to hold the mass of roots without crov. ding and still provide good drainage. Water enough to keep the soil from dry ing out. In about another month, when weather is warm, set the potted plant outdoors, submerging the pot in the soil at ground level or a little below. Put it in full sun shine unless the weather is very hot. In that case, give it light shade. When nights cool in the fall, put it in a window ..here thcie is good light and air and where temperature is about 60 to 68 de grees, but with no draft. Water regularly so the soil never dries out and use a little liquid fertilizer t very week.

Th" fact that yours is one of 31 million trees used for holiday rie-orrions this year makes it seen that ou. fon sts are in great p i', but such is not the case. In fact, at least half of these trees are coming from sources that did not harm or actually imprpved the forest land they occupied when cut. Foresters who grow saw-log trees generally divide cut-over .mid into four classes and Christmas-tree land is the lowest classi fication. It won't grow good forests, but is ideal for Christmas trees since it barely supports tree life. The tree, in its struggle to exist, throws out quick and frequent branches. On such land are the Christmas tree farms, such as one operated at Tacoma, Washington, by Paul Kirk, the "Christmas-tree king " ICirk distributes 4 to S million trees a year and keeps several times that number growing. The last two or three weeks be fore Christmas are about the busiest of the year for Paul Kirk, for his carefully grown trees must arrive at their destinations on time. It isn't unusual for him to tour dozens of cities checking on shipments before he gets home at the last moment to gather with his family around the Kirks' huge white-sprayed tree. SHOP MARSHALL, N.

As you can see. Dad a expression comes under the heading of "famous last words." Oh, he completed hit shopping list, or rather most of it hut look at the shape be is in now. It took him all day, rather than a "couple of hours" because be decided to walk his feet off rather than have to make another trip. He felt pretty pleased about the whole thing (when he started home that is,) untU he ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. So busy thinking about the things be wanted to buy be just forgot Bessie refuses to run without fuel He lost thirty minutes or so waiting for a gas station to send out some fuel from a nearby community, but that didn't upset him very much. He didn't really blow a fuse until he picked up a nail and a alow leak in one of Bessie's tires. !...,. , But he got home a tired but happy man, apparently. Mom, who believes in shopping at home where value and satisfaction are always guaranteed by the local merchant's reputa tion, probably made the situation worse by remarking that prac tically every item on Dad's list could have been bought here at home for the same price, or less. I guess that's what made Dad light up like the Christmas tree it was a sure insinuation that he wasn't a very smart businessman and that blow at bis pride : was just top much for a man with aching feet.
