Increased Rotions
|Urqed for Ewes

Ewes due to lamb within the
next month Should be getting
extra grain now. says George Lit
ton. associate animal husbandman
at VPI.
Ewes allowed to lose weight in
late pregnancy are subject tc
lambing paralysis. Mr.. Litton
warns.
The ewes should get about u
pound extra grain daily from
about a month before lamb
ing up until about a week before
when the extra ration should be
increased to about u pound.
II pastures are skimpy, the ewes
also should be given some legume
hay, such as alfalfa, lespedeza OF
clover. AS soon as the ewes lamb
increase their feed to 11a pounds
daily Of grain mixture contain
ing up to 18 per cent protein. Il
the ewes get leafy alfalfa OF
lespedeza hay. a protein con.
tent of II to IA per cent in the
grain mixture is enough.
MIR. Litton also says that ewes
should be sheared on the back
quarters and around the udders
a month before lambing. All
sheep should have wool sheareo
off their heads now.

Material for Bright Wreoths Imported,
But 1t Cun Be Grown in D. G. Area
Bv w. n. Younomon

ings In the spring seem TO pro-
wide adequate protection.
Several Varieties Marketed.
There are several varieties Of
American holly on the market and
each has some outstanding char
acteristic. The color of the foliage
is important. as we'll as the habit
OF growth and the productivity Of
berries. For specimen paintings
they are usually superior to the
commonly available plants. For
hedges, the common unnamed
plants are satisfactory. For mass
Iplantings as a background for
the shrub border, not more than
an occasional named variety will
be needed.
All of the above has been said
with reference to the American
holly Ulex opaca). but there are
many other kinds suited to this
area. In the more protected Sec
tions. the Chinese holly (Ilex
cornuta, var. BurfordD is probably
the most snowy and desirable.
Moreover, 1t is a low growing
shrub, seldom exceeding 8 to 10
feet in the Washington area.
The English holly Qlex aquifo-
lium) is not as dark green and
the leaves are not quite so inter-
esting. but 1t is both attractive
as a plant and for its fruit. The
Japanese holly Qlex crenata) is
used for its evergreen box-like
foliage. The variety Convexa has
a glossier foliage. It is used only
for foliage. since the black berries
are seldom to be seen. In addi-
ton to these there are a number
of native hollies which, In a suit
able situation. make effective
Iplantings. The deciduous holly
Ulex verticallata). or winter-berry,
does not thrive except in shady,
moist places.
The home gardener might well
plan next spring to add a holly
or two to his planting, both for
the year-around evergreen effect
and for the berries at Christmas
time.

This Week in the Garden

Rain and wet soils have further
deferred garden work, although
mild temperatures made out-of-
doors work desirable. Undoubtedly
some tried to work in the saturated
soil and found that they were do
ing more harm than good. Cold
weather may again interfere, but
it is likely there will be other
opportunities before winter pre-
cludes further planting.
Beautiful wreaths and other
Christmas decorations may be
made from prunings of holly
laurel. Eleagnous, lockwood, the
narrow-leaved evergreens and ber-
ried shrubs. Judicious trimming
is not harmful. so many gardeners
reserve pruning of the holly tc
this season. The pruning of small
hollieS might well be restricted to
the taking of short terminal twigs
Trim the upper as well as the
lower branches to keep the tree
compact and twiggy.
Raking lawns at this season to
control chickweed is almost as
harmful to the grass as it is to the
Ichickweed. A sprinkling with a
powdered form of sulphate of am
Imonia or nitrate of soda will burn
and kill the tender young chick
weed plants. but will only injure
the blades Of the grass plants
Perhaps 2,4-D and potassium
cyanate sprays will be effective in
control Of chickweed at this sea
son. although temperatures are
lower than generally recommended
as favorable to the use of chemical
weed-killers.
In flower beds and shrub bor-
ders. the chickweed may be killed
with cultivation or the nitrogen
fertilizers may be used-not 2,4-D
or potassium cyanate.
Don't delay overhauling garden
equipment. Most repairmen will
be better able to render service
now than later on.
It is not too late to erect bur-
lap screens to protect newly
planted evergreens from wind and
sun. They are the causes of de-
foliation-winter burn. Protec-
ton from the cold is unnecessary
Burlap may be firmly tackled to
three stakes placed in triangular
form a few inches away from the
tips of the branches.
Spring flower and seed cata-
logs may be expected within two
or three weeks. A plan for the
so garden will help to determine
the kinds and quantities Of seeds
and plants that will be needed

The practice of planting peas,
both garden and Towering, in the
late fall or winter is more likely to
be successful If the round-seeded
garden peas and the Spencerian
type OF Towering peas are used.
Even their use is of little help in
poorly drained, soggy soils.
Now is good time to take hard

deciduous shrubs and trees for
planting in a propagating frame
