Our soldiers and Marines were
surprised when they entered North
Korea to f1nd very few dogs. In
fact it was almost a dogless coun-
try.
A friend Of mine assigned to a
South Korean division as an OBJ
server wrote that he had noticed
the lack Of dogs. usually a pitiful
and scared group in any war
theater. He interviewed a Ger
man national who had been
trapped in Inchon who claimed,
1.-THE food situation was so bad
that most owners ate their dogs
All the food was conscripted by
the Reds and rationed as they saw
fit."
"Why do dogs like to lean out
car windows?" writes a woman.
It may be. as she has suggested,
the combination of scents and
colors; or like human beings, he
may just enjoy catching the
breeze. However. allowing a dog
to lean out the window OF a NOV
ing car is dangerous.
Not only may he fall out but If
the habit is kept up over a period
Of time it may cause serious eye
troubles. Many a serious case Of
bronchial trouble has been traced
to this leaning out of the car win
dow habit. Don't let him do 1t
for any prolonged period.
There was an absurd theory in
circulation for many many years
that If a purebred female dog
were mated to mongrel, or to
any dog of breed other than her
own. she would continue to- have
mongrel puppies all the rest OF
her life. even If she were mated
in future times to purebred dogs
Of her own breed.
Long ago science proved beyond
any shadow Of a doubt that this
is untrue and that no past breed
ing would affect the offspring OF
any later breedings.
Whenever you start to train q
puppy or an older dog. there is
one all-important rule for you to
follow. namely, be alone with him
throughout the hours Of training
feeding and exercising. This is
especially good advice even If you
are teaching him the simplest of
lessons.
When you and your new dog
are alone together, there is no

Winter Care for the Garden
Some Rules to Be Followed in Helping
Plants and Shrubs Survive the Cold
BY w. n. Younqmon
Garden Editor

Our gardens are filled with
plants from many parts of the
globe, yet there is common
tendency to treat them as though
they were all native and accus-
toned to growing in a cultivated
field. This. Of course. is an un-
natural situation. Plants which
came from the North are accus-
toned to the protection of a thick
blanket Of snow. Those from
meadow and field had weeds
leaves and other materials over
the root area as a protective
blanket Less hardy friends from
more Southern areas obviously
need some protection from oul
more rigorous climate. Breezes
that sweep through a wind tunnel
between houses or blasts that
strike in exposed situations can
be severely Injurious to natives
Of sheltered woods. Too much
protection. however, can be
detrimental to the treasured
plants. because they will start
into unreasonable growth during
periods of mild weather and then
be damaged by a sudden cold
snap.
Most plants commonly recon-
mended for this area will tolerate
our winters surprisingly we'll If
they can become hardened grad
ually. 1t is the sudden changes
from warm to cold that do the
most damage. That Is why we
should not plant English ivy on
the southern or western side Of a
building unless it is shaded by
trees. Bare branches of trees seem
pitifully inadequate protection
from the winter sun but they do
protect. Many a rose bed that
has suffered from shade all sum-
mer escapes winter injury because
of the thin little shadows that
fall across it.
In the Washington area we are
inclined to talk about our mild
climate forgetting that OCCASION
ally the bottom drops out Of the
thermometer. It has been several
years since we have had subzero
weather-yes, in 1934-6 F.
Granting that we do have an
occasional cold winter, our major
difficulty seems to center around
keeping our plants dormant once
cold weather does arrive. This is
the basis Of most of the winter
protection recommended for plants
in the Washington area.
We normally apply a winter
mulch to perennial and bulb bor-
ders and beds after the ground
is frozen. The material need not
be thick or expensive to do the

are to thrive. Overwatering or al
lowing the pots to stand in jardi-
nieres or bowls full of water drives
the air out Of the soil and the
plants suffer.
"A south or east window at this
season Of the year is apt to give
the best results with African VIC.
lets. While the foliage will moi
be as lush as in a north window
they are apt to reward the gar
dener with more generous supply
of flowers.
Evening star., 1950-11-26

It Is for this reason, when placing
an order for shrubbery, they
should consider the berried shrubs.
OF course the birds feed upon the
berries during the winter. but 1t
is the additional beauty and in
terest which such shrubs give to
the border that merits attention.
Good berried shrubs for this area
are snowherry. coralberry. beauty
berry. Nandina and Firethorn.
The latter two should be planted
II the spring.
Fall is a good time to set out
lilacs. but usually the common
lilac (Syringa vulgaris) takes too
long to reach blooming size. The
Persian lilac is a far more rapid
grower, has practically the same
shade and form Of bloom and is
not such a tall grower. The named
hybrids are even better: President
Grevy is one Of the best. Lilacs
seem to do best In a fertile soil
that Is not too acid. Enrich the
planting site with compost and
add ground limestone. Beginning
next spring feed and water the
plants literally and they will make
strong vigorous growth.
Some gardeners, for the sake OF
neatness. trim of the tops of
perennials as soon as freezing wa
ter stops the growth. While this
may make for a neat border it Is
apt to be detrimental to the plants
who are accustomed to having the
soil shaded by their tops and the
leaves which they hold. This tends
to keep the ground temperatures
relative stable rs we'll as to pre-
vent erosion. Actually 1t would
be beneficial II some brush were
scattered over the border and ad-
ditional leaves piled on after the
ground Is frozen. Don't cover
the leaves Of evergreen plants
such as-Oriental poppies, Ma
donna lilies and candytuft.
Now is an excellent time to lay
IN next seasons supply Of fertil-
lzer, lime. peatmoss and spray or
DUST materials. At the moment
they are available but already
fears are being voiced that pro-
duction may Of necessity be di-
verted to defense production. AT
any rate, the manufacturers would
prefer that the bags be stored in
the consumers basement rather
tnan In a warehouse. Spring pur-
chases by the gardener naturally
come in the spring when the pro-
ducers and distributors are busiest,
Fertilizers should be stored in a
dry place such as near the fur
mace. Galvanized ash cans that
have been coated on the inside
with tar or asphaltum paint make
o good container for fertilizers.
High nitrogen fertilizers should be
placed in an air-tight container
It is well to go over the garden
tools and the lawnmower before
storing. II repairs or sharpening
are needed now is the time to have
1t done. In the spring when the
other fellow gets around to having
1t done it may be too late. OH
the tools after acknowledgements
Is an excellent cleaner as well as
preventive Of rust. A rusted tool
soon loses its temper and effec-
tivenesS.
While you are cleaning the tools
it may be well to paint the handles
a bright color which makes them
more easily seen when misplaced.
House plants commonly suffer
from lack Of moisture at this sea-
son Of the year. However, water
ing should be done with care be-
cause too much water in the soil
