The common name for Dieffenbachis is Dumb Cane. This name is derived from the fact that if one chews the stems or leaves, a severe swelling of the tongue follows, causing an inability to speak A for a period of time. One should be cautious with small children and animals. A good porous soil and once a week thorough watering are its cultural needs. A light feeding every one to two months is sufficient.

With Diffenbachias, growth is fairly rapid and this is not especially good. They too soon become weak and leggy. Light feedings as stated above svill slow down the process. The light should be fairly strong. A window or just below a floor lamp will do the job.

As the plant grows, the lower, older leaves will turn yellow and shed. Do not be alarmed. This is natural. The life expectancy of a leaf is a little more than one year. When the plant has become tall and leggy, the tops can be removed to start new plants.

The stem should be about 12 to 14 inches. Insert in good soil, keep moist, but not wet. Rooting soon occurs. The mother plant will usually send out new shoots and branching. Mr.

and Mrs. Arnold Broadus enjoyed having as guests recently their son, Parker Broadus of El Campo and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Pete Morgan, Carla and Mark of Palestine. Thanksgiving guests included Mrs.

1 salt. 1 vanilla. Beat well. Press pecans, 1 cup to the bottom of crust. Add mixture of above anu also 1 cup pecans on top.

This was Martha Washington's recipe for pecan pie. Now that crust that never fails is: 1 cup flour. 2 salt. Add 4 generous tablespoons shortening and enough cold milk to hold dough together. Work shortening into flour.

Chill dough a little while before roiling out. Do not stretch pastry. Visiting with Mrs. Jackson were Mr. and Mrs.
