Keep Poinseltias
In Dark Room
At Night
you have a poinsettia that
jou have saved from last Christ
mas and you would like it to
bughten your house again this
winter, it is important that you
understand its light require
ments
The poinsettia is a plant that
develops its bloom when the days
are short and the nights are long
‘Xloom” in the case of the pom
settia is really just bnghtly-coloi
ed leaves surrounding an mcon
sp'cuous flower, but neither the
flower nor the color will appear
if light conditions are not right
To help your poinsettia to
bloom this winter, keep it in a
room which you do not use at
night. Even short periods of ex
posure to night lights will inter
fere with blooming. In effect, this
lengthens the day and the plant
continues to act as though it were
summer.
The shortened days of fall are
a signal to this plant to prepare
itself to bloom. Just how this
mechanism works, no one under
stands completely, but the vary
ing effects of light and day
lengths have been observed with
many plants Scientists call this
photopenodism.
Once the plant has bloomed
and you have brought it out into
the night lights, the red leaves
will begin to fall after a week or
so and the plant will enter a rest
period.
A poinsettia also drops its
leaves if its roots are congested.
Foliage drop at this time of year
may indicate that it needs to be
leplanted in a larger pot.

Keep Cattle Away
From Stale Water
Stagnant water within reach of
dairy cattle can be the source of
several disease problems, accord
ing to extension dairy specialist
Edward Oleskic of Rutgers Dni
\eisity
Trouble with mastitis, lepto
spirosis, many filth diseases, and
even nitrate poisoning, he says,
has been traced to stagnant and”
contaminated ponds and streams.
Dairymen should drain or fence
stale ponds so dairy cattle can
not get to them.
