FORREST LOMINACK EDWARD K. LOMINACK J. W. LONGSHORE CHARLIE FORCE IDA UNDERWOOD m 'p ««v 1 WJitliStoom -sAfyain That popular Christmas plant, the poinsettia, need not be dis carded when the holiday is over. The fight care can keep it in con dition for blooming again next year. Horticulture specialists say you need not be alarmed about drop ping leaves. Leaf dropping simply means the plant is going into its normal rest period, which lasts until about May 1. After the leaves fall, put the plant in a cool place—40 to 50 degrees — and water sparingly. 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 leplmold. Hse a pot just large enough to hold the mass of roots Without crowding 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 where there 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 every week. Long nights, uninterrupted by even a shaft of artificial light, are needed to bring the poinsettia into flower. Children Expect Realistic Toys Santa’s helpers, the toymakers of America, made something like $900 million worth of toys last year, using up a fabulous supply of plastics, paints and lacquers, adhesives and other new materials developed by industrial chemistry. Toy consumers—^America's pre cocious children—have come to de mand a realism in toys that was unheard of a few years ago. If a youngster gets a toy automobile, it must look like one of the latest styles he sees on the highways, a jet airplane must look like the pic tures he sees in magazines. Most little girls won’t look a second time at any doll that doesn’t cry, walk, have washable hair and a wardrobe that ranges from eve ning clothes to a bikini bathing suit. Expected to be big hits among toys this Christmas season are all various types of “do-it-yourself* kits for youngsters of all ages— kits they can use to make prac tically everything from atomic submarines to 1955 model sports cart. In addition to do-it-yourself packages for advanced children, most manufacturers this year also are furnishing the completely as sembled toy for the younger set. mm Mil NEW ADDITION . . . Santa Claus (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) fondles a new member of his reindeer team presented to him by proud mama, Blitzen (left). This was the first fawn born to the group of Alaskan rein deer flown last year from Alaska to Santa’s workshop in North Pole, New Tork. Harvesting Trees Big Christmas Business While the sale of Christmas trees to the consumer is conducted en tirely in the few weeks just prior to Christmas, the harvesting, pro cessing and shipping of the trees may begin as much' as three months before Christmas. Approximately 25 per cent of thq retail price of a Christmas tree i£ the stumpage price; trees retail, ing for about 25 cents per lineal foot will be worth about 6 cents on the stump and could wholesale for from 10 cents to 15 cents pes lineal foot. Total number of trees distributed in the United States is about 30 million. There are at least 10 important Christmas tree associations and groups representing the industry in the United States and approxi* mately 5,000 individuals and firms are registeded as retailers and wholesalers of Christmas trees lit the United States.
