| Life in the Country-F Found: An Author

Alva Nye, who lives out near
Forestville, called to set me
straight on the Loudoun County
owls. Mr.. Nye and Jim Fox Of
Washington were out on Joe Whit
more's place near Leesburg last
week hunting their falcons. They
said they flushed as many as 50
owls in one field.
Mr.. Nye wanted to be sure that
Loudoun sportsmen didn't organ
ize to kill off the owls. He said
they are short-eared owls that live
exclusively on mice and that they
are in such numbers this year
because of the tremendous popu-
lation of meadow mice.
Incidentally, Mr.. Nye likes
hawks, too, and insists that most
hawks are good friends Of the
farmer. The only hawk in this
area that will cause any damage,
he said, is the Coopers hawk and,
unfortunately, he is so sly in his
work that the friendly hawks
usually get the blame for his
damage.
The hawk on The 10 Acres, I
learned, is a marsh hawk and he
and I are friends.

There has been much talk on
The 40 Acres about the close con-
nection down through the ages be-
tween geese and literature. And I
confess I believe there must be
something in it since our flock has
been instrumental in locating a
missing author and assuring her
recognition in a forthcoming an
thology.
have been hard pressed to pre-
vent the geese from encroaching
too far into my COW lots. but after
last weeks experience, suppose I
must resign myself to being
deluged in a bed of feathers.
It happened like this:
My friend Russell Lord, editor
of The Land, is preparing an an
thology, Forever the Land" to
be published late this month by
Harper 81 Bros. He had identified
all contributors except one. and q
poem by that one was to end the
book.
Could we. Russell asked, help
him locate Mary s. Taylor, whose
poem, Redemption" had been
selected from among thousands to
close, with a melodious bang, the
anthology. He was sure, he said,
that she lived in Loudoun County.
Her poem was first used in The
Land in 1914, and since then her
address had. been lost.
My wife Jane remembered that
Thomas E. Taylor, from Lincoln.
had been in last spring to get some
goslings.
Surely, she thought, man in
terested in geese must have wife
who writes poetry. And she was
correct, for we found that Mary S.
Taylor was indeed. the poet in
question.
I couldn't resist the temptation
to ring her up and tell her about

This Week in the Garden

Winter Is still just around the
corner IN much of the Washing
ton area-in only a portion Of the
suburban area has the ground
achieved a good crust. Moisture
supplies still are deficient and
some grass seedlings are suffering.
Evergreens will need a good soak
ing if rains do not come soon.
Planting of trees, deciduous
shrubs, annual flower seeds and
bulbs may be continued as long
as the ground remains unfrozen.
Freezing may be postponed for
late planting by covering the area
to be planted with a thick layer
of leaves, should this be desirable.
Fall spading is a desirable prac-
tice and may be done whenever
the soil is dry enough. Leave the
clods unbroken, frost action will
do better job. F.-
Remove fallen leaves from the
lily pool to prevent their decay
which will foul the water. A
screen made of chicken wire is
useful in keeping the smaller
pools free from falling leaves.
Examine trees and shrubs for
scale insects. When present they
should be controlled with dor
mant spray-lime- sulphur is the
most common one. It may be
applied whenever temperatures
are above and likely to remain
above freezing for "a hours. A
dormant spray may be used to
clean up over-wintering disease
spores On rose bushes and dor
mant shrubs. Avoid letting the
spray fall on painted wood be-
cause it will stain badly.
Hardy dormant trees and
shrubs may be pruned at any
time now. Pruning of tender

repel a burglar or to put out a

are perhaps just as vigilant in
the protecting of their owners

an intruder to pieces, but they
can notify the whole household
of his marauding presence.
Authorities on child training

velopment Of q child.
Whether you are rich or poor

votion and protection, and some
day it might even save your
youngsters life. Yes. dogs make
grand Christmas gifts to give and
even more so to receive.
Coffee contains caffeine, q

Busy on Florists
Show Activities

With all but three OF the 81

the National Flower Show allotted
to exhibitors, six to local garden
club participation. the garden
clubs committee met Tuesday
with Granville Guide, local show
chairman. to discuss plans. The
show, to be the largest ever
staged here, will be held under
sponsorship of the National Flor
lists Association March % to 20
in the Armory.
Simulated gardens with lush
blooms will be everywhere In evi-
dence, not to mention scores Of
small wall-space exhibits of the
latest in garden gadgets and prod
ucts. 1t will be the first time
that the florists annual display
has ever been held here.
Enthusiastic support has been
given the project with the hope
that an annual event may grow
out of the show, with or without
a national organization sponsor.

her poem, and I can't resist the
temptation now to reprint it:
Redemption
This man has seen his acres
stretching bare
And Scared beneath the wind
and driving rain
And he has wondered with a sick
despair
If he would make decent cror
again
Now he has learned to cherish and
to build,
Restored the vigor that had
drained away
And marveled as he saw the
miracle
OF strong green sod replacing
barren clay -.
And thought: II those poor fields
can turn to green.
Love may yet flower in the hearts
of men.

ones such as myrtle and
roses should be- left until Feb
ruary or March.
Lily-of -the-valley pips should
be available soon in the florists
shops. They are easily forced
into bloom by placing several in
a bowl or pot filled with soil
spaghnum moss or peat moss
which should be moistened and
placed in a dark room until growth
starts. Then bring into a warm
room and sunlight, keep moist
until the buds begin to open. They
require about four weeks to flower
with this method. In a temper.
ature of 80 degrees and humic
situation they will flower in three
weeks.
Many materials useful fol
winter bouquets may still be
found in the garden. along the
roadside and in the fields.
Posts and other woodwork to be
used in garden construction
should be given one or two coat
ings with one of the new copper
fungicides sold for this purpose
They are effective preservatives
ard paint may be applied over
them, something you could not dc

Dust gladiolus corms with DDI
before storing for the winter to
control gladiolus thrips. The dust
coating need not be thick and
the surplus should be removed
before placing the corms in f1nal

If napthalene flakes are pre-
ferred to the DOT. use an ounce
Of the flakes to so corms, place ir

According to Morse legend, the

planted. Pine boughs are good,
as is partially decomposed com
post. Oak leaves are preferable
to many other kinds, because
they do not pack and hold mois-
ture. Many spread straw over
their strawberry beds. Fine
needles are good mulching mate
rial.
Shields From Sun and Wind.
8. Protection from sun and
wind is normally important Tor
shrubs, roses, and trees In ex-
posed situations; the less hardy
kinds; and for those which were
recently planted and that have
not had time in which to become
well established. Eyergreens, such
as rhododendrons, mahonia, holly.
azaleas, spruce, ETC., which
normally are protected from sun
and wind by deciduous trees IN
the summer may need this kind OF
winter protection. Newly planted
deciduous trees and shrubs some
times benefit from this additional
care. 4
Burlap screens, pine boughs.
corn stalks, and other material
which will break the wind and
partially exclude the sun will give
the desired protection. Some
gardeners drive two or three
stakes on the south and west sides
of the plants to be protected and
tack burlap to them. Pine boughs
may be driven into the ground on
the south and west sides OF the
shrubs to be protected, or they
may be tied "tepee" fashion over
each shrub. Pine boughs may be
spread over the rose bed to pro-
tect the bushes from sun and
wind and at the same will also
keep the ground frozen. Slat
screens made OF lathes and 2x2s
are often used to cover cutting
beds during the winter, although
a leaf mulch is apt to be more
effective. Zone or q year old
cuttings are more tender than
older ones. hence need more
warmth).
Tender water lilies will need to
be lifted and stored indoors in a.
moist cool situation. Hardy water
lilies may be left in the un-
drained pool but it should be pro-
tected from expansion with small
logs or poles. Place one end OF
the pole on the bottom Of the
pool, the other on the edge.
If shrubs or trees are likely to
be injured by snow falling from
the roof, poles may be placed
against the sides of the house to
break the weight of the snow.
However, this is apt to be un-
slightly and most gardeners prefer
to erect strong frames over their
shrubs.

When a certain Missouri min
lister opened his car door one
day, he found a furry and friend
ly brown dog curled up on the
front seat. Tied to the pups col
lar was a note that read:
Won't you please give me a

years old. and need home. My
name is Brownie and I do tricks

written in childish scrawl and
many words were misspelled.
The minister had a dog of his
own, but accepted the RESPONSE
bility. He inquired among his
friends and soon placed Brownie
in a new home. Shortly after
wards he received another note

found attached to the dogs collar
