Sequoia's Cousin
Comes To Texas
The A. &. M. College Texas For- j
est Service recently received
from the Harvard arboretum a i
small quantity of seed from a tree
species -which, until a year ago,
botanists believed had disappeared
from the face of the earth mil-
lions of years ago. The seeds
are from the Matsequoia, and
Silviculturist Chief D. A. Ander-
son, of the Texas Forest Service,
plans to find out whether they'll
grow in the state.
The Metsequoia, scientists be-
iieved, disappeared from the
earth about the time the dino-
saur and other giant reptiles.
Then in February, 1946, H. H. Hu,
a Chinese forester, discovered that
the species was growing in a 100-
mile area of the Szechuan and
Hopen provinces. Harvard joined
in an expedition which confirm-
ed the discovery, and this year
obtained some of the seed, which
are being distributed to recogniz-
ed silviculturists for experimental
planting in this nation and Eu-
rope.
The Metasequoiu, a coniferous
species, is a "cousin" of the giant
sequoias growing on the slopes of
the Sierras, in California. Its
history can be traced back to au-
tiqpity, along with the ancient
ginkgo tree. Today there are only
a little over 1,000 trees of this
species left—almost on the verge
of extinction.
"Whether the seed received by
the Texas Forest Service will
prosper and grow Metsaquoias
here, only time will tell. However,
the Chinese area where the trees
wre found is in the same latitude
as Texas.. The tree grows more
than 100 feet high, bears cor.es
and sheds its leaves in winter.
The Metsaquoia may have a
future in Texas, or it may not.
At any rate, the Texas Forest
Service will give it a chance. The
Forest Service is constantly ex-
perimenting in growing new spe-
cies which may have some econ-
omical value and is investigat- j tension home management spe-

of human body weight is made up
of water. Every chemical reaction
that takes place in the body is
dependent upon water and the
proper nerve energy from the
brain, for its completion. All of
the digestion of food as well as the
elimination of waste products is
also made possible through water
and nerve supply.
Adequate water supply cannot
be stressed too much, Dr. Parker
said. Fortunately, practically all
foods are made up primarily of
water, but even at that the supply
for the normal person is inade-
quate without plenty of fresh
drinking water.
TIPS ABOUT SHEETS
During the war it was right
next to impossible for the house-
wife to get sheets. It has been
nearly three years since the war
ended, and sheets are becoming
easier to get as time goes by.
So Mrs. Bernice Claytor, ex-
has a number of tips about buy-
ing and taking care of sheets.
The thread count of a sheet is
important to the housewife in
knowing the difference between a
Probably the most important j g00{j sheet and a poor one. By

substance required by the human
body has no food value, contains
no vitamins and very little min-
eral matter," Dr. James W. Par-
ker, of Fort Worth said recently,
"That substance is water."
According to Dr. Parker, many
holding the sheet up to the light,
and stretching it tightly between
the hands, it is easy to tell how
fine or coarse the weave is by
seeing how much light shines
through. Signs of a poor quality
sheet are loose weave, small

while it can be maintained for
more than 60 days without solid
food. Approximately 70 percent

weave, puckers and missing warp
threads. If the sheet is hemmed
with long coarse stitches, the
home maker can de pend on its
lacking good wearing qualities,
Small, close stitches are the
high points of a good sheet. By
rubbing the sheet together, one
can learn whether starch has been
added to give it a smooth, soft
finish. If powder comes off on
the fingers, beware! The sheet
was washed in starch.
The selvage, or true edge of
the sheet, should be closely wov-
en, almost like a tape, and free
from wrinkles at the edges. This
is important to the strength of
a sheet. All sheets will shrink
I in the first several washings, but
| since the average length is 108
| inches, there is an ample twenty-
i inch turnback.
I Here are a few suggestions for
j the home launderer: do not wash
| colored sheets with white ones,
| even though they may be fast
I color. That's expecting a little
too much. Play safe by hanging
the colored sheets in the shade,
and don't use boiling water when
washing them. Use a soap that
you can trust, one that is not too
strong. And last, but very im-
portant, says Mrs. Claytor, too
much water softener yellows
white fabrics.
KNOW YOUR ABC'S
ON FARM FIRES
Four out of five farmers don't
know their ABC's—the ABC's of
lire, that is,—County Agent C.
Metz Heald declared this week.
Stressing the need for increased
vigilance as spring approaches,
Mr. Heald cited figures showing
that 81 per cent of farmers in a
recent survey were tolerating
dangerous fire hazards that could
be remedied easily. The survey
report was publicized by Fire
Protection Institute, N. Y. C.
"Fire prevention and fire pro-
tection begin with fundamentals,"
Mr. iHeald said, "but many farm-
ers still don't seem to realize
that there are three basic types
of fires and that each should be
handled in a different way."
'*Class A fires," he said, "in-
volve wood, tiiftsh, jiaper, and
other combustibles and can be
fought effectively with soda-acid
extinguishers. Class B fires are
grease, oil and gasoline fires and
should be smothered with carbon
dioxide, foam or vaporizing liquid
extinguishers. Class C fires are
electrical fires and should be con-
trolled with carbon dioxide, or va-
porizing liquid extinguishers. If
possible, the current should be
shut off. In all cases, extinguish-
I ers approved by the Underwriters
Laboratories should be used."
Failure to appreciate the ABC
i fundamentals of fire costs farm-
i ers an estimated $90,000,000
worth of property and kills ap-
proximately 3,500 people on farms
each year, Mr. Heald reported,
citing Department of Agriculture j
findings.
