Caring for Poinsettia Pot Plants
With proper care, poinsettias
the popular Christmas pot plant
—will provide color in the house
for several weeks. Here are some
suggestions for prolonging the
life of this pot plant:
Poinsettia needs a cool room,
full sunlight, and moist soil. If
the plant is in good condition
when you get it, it should keep
its colored bracts for three weeks
at a room temperature of 70 de
grees. If the temperature is kept
between 55 degrees and 60 de
grees, red poinsettias will stay
colored for four to six weeks and
white poinsettias for two months.
If you want to keep a plant aft
er the bracts fall, place it in a
cool, light location and water
sparingly. The plant will become
dormant.
In April or May, cut plant
back to within six inches of the
pot. Repot the plant in regular
soil mixture and resume watering
often enough to keep the soil
moist.
' Take cuttings of the new vege
tative growth. When the cuttings
root, pot them in regular soil
mixture.
Before the first frost, move
the plants, both old and new, into
a sunny window. Beginnig about
October 1, keep the plants in a
night temperature of 60 degrees
and protect them from artificial
light at night. The plants should
he well colored for Christmas.

lect and properly store grafting
and budding wood of improved
varieties.
Cut the pieces into lengths
about 12 inches long for conven
ience of handling. The freshly
cut ends should be dipped in
grafting wax or beeswax to pre
vent drying out. Tie the bundles
of each variety and identify with
a permanent label. Each bundle
by varieties should then be im
bedded in a moist medium and
wrapped in plastic. An alternative
is to use a poultry freezer bag
that is large enough to adequate
ly hold the scion wood and the
moist medium and be properly
sealed.
The wrapped package of pro
pagating wood should then be
stored in refrigeration at a tem
perature range from 34-40 de
grees Fahrenheit. The stored ma
terial should remain in good con
dition until it is ready for use
in the spring.

Divide Pair
BY STEVEN BALL
Friday night, December 12, the
Tigers journeyed to Thomaston
to take on Drake High.
The girls were beaten by a
score of 43 to 44. The game got a
bit out of hand when a call by
the referee was disputed. A
Drake forward dribbled the ball
and was fouled. After the foul
the Drake forward made the goal
controversy began as to whether
the points were good. The Drake
team refused to take the floor
until the points were on the
scoreboard. Coach Gaye gave
them the points and play resumed.
Then it was nip and tuck all the
way until the end of the game.
The Tigerettes were never down
by more than 9 points and never
led by more than 4. The scoring
went as follows; Patricia Barlow
18, Aretha Pye 17 and Regenia
Lawrence 8 points. For Drake,
Louise Randall had 21 points,
Mary Balock 13 and Andrea
Johnson 10.
The Tigers won on a great
comeback by a score of 59 to 54.
The Tigers were down by 8 points
in the last quarter but a quick
surge by Clarence Norris won the
game for them. Scoring wise, the
Tigers were led by Ollie Wood
ard’s 17 points, followed by John
Webb’s 13, Clarence Norris with
12, George Akins 6, John Sims 9
and Bobby Lawrence 2.
For Drake Elmo Seacy had 14
points, Milton Raines 13, James
Dixon 13, Willie Tigner 8 and
Charles Kendall with 6.
Rebounding the Tigers were
led by John Webb with 17, John
Sims 10, George Akins 11, Ollie
Woodard 9 and Clarence Norris
8.
The record stands at 4 wins and
