B. OARDMEB This column should boos general interest to all readeca but more specifically to our mountain folks who produce rhubarb in their gardens. Strangely enough, and I do not know the re&oson fpr it, but the word “rhubarb” has long been associated with heated arguments and heck ling that develop during the playing of athletic con teats. This is not the kind we will discuss here. Rhubarb is a member of the buckwheat family and related to the docks and sorrels. Some U species are distributed na turally from Asia Minor to Central Asia and Siberia. About half of the species are to be found in the area of Tibet. Rhubarb was first used as a drug plant (the roots), then as a pot-herb (tee leaves). History has it that a cook was about to throw tee stalks away, having already put the leaves to boil, when he decid ed to taste the raw stalk. He found the taste to be pleasing so he made a pie, with pleas ing results. Today,, it is cus tomary in America to use the stalks w>?h the leaves cut off. There may also be some peo ple who still prepare the leavea as you would spinach. When I waa a youngster we always had rhubarb in our garden.
