Winter injury TO evergreens

the tree is unable TO replenish
the lost moisture. BY spring
the resulting browning and
twig dieback will show up.
Sun burning" is caused
when ice forms on the plants.
The ice acts as a magnifying
lens. Winter sun also causes
temperature fluctuations and
hastens evaporation from
leaves Of shrubs planted on the
south and southwest side Of
houses.
The greatest winter injury
occurs on plants in exposed

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Not Yet the New Year in the Country
BY JAMES BlRCHFIELD

Christmas is past. Just
ahead is the new year, our
calendars say.
For US in the country IL
seems that the beginning Of
the new year is badly timed.
It means merely a changing Of
dates, but not really the begin
nlng Of the new season, which
comes in the spring.
For when the grass begins
to turn green again and the
flowers begin to show their
faces in the woods. then We
can begin TO think again of
starting the new year. And
even then, with the chills of
winter just behind us, ge are
only preparing TO meet winter
again.
We may not be conscious of
it. but We in the country seem
always to be rushing toward
winter. Our planting and our
harvesting is the defense We
take against the season Of
SHOWS and cold. 1t is a game
We play. always with the grim
determination to win from our
adversary. And IL We stop for
a moment We can be brought
up short with the spectre Of
hunger-not so much for our
selves, for we have learned how
TO live out of a tin can. but
for the animals that depend
upon US for their feeds.
And there can be nothing
more demanding than a COW or
q horse. If I am not out each
morning promptly at feeding
time, I am reminded by angry
bellows from the field. And in
the stable my mare shakes her
head impatiently until 1 dump

We are becoming almost a
wilderness area. The other day
I watched two deer frolicking
down by the pond. and a rab-
bit investigating a brush pile
nearby. Quail visit US in the
back yard. and we have a skunk
living in a hollow stump over
by the fence.
A skunk is a handy animal
to have about. He likes to

The mild weather OF last
week undoubtedly pleased most
home owners but 1t was un-
favorable TO the broadleaved
evergreens. Only those that
were sheltered from the suns

that could be given them
Warm weather tends to bring
the broadleaved evergreens out
Of their dormancy and so when
cold weather returns they are
likely to suffer. The more
tender the evergreen the more
subject to such injury. 1t is
such weather that makes II

is the best preventative. How

There's nothing especial
except that 1t prevents achiev-
ing that well-planned look we
so much desire.
Before the catalogs arrive.
and they are due any day now,
let's get out a sheet Of cross
section paper and do a little
planning for the 1858 garden.
Sketch the layout Of flower
and vegetable plots. but do it
on a large enough scale so
that suitable notations can be
made as to the heights. color
and season Of bloom wanted.
Remember TO watch the spac-
ings TO be used so that the
plants will have enough room
to grow in. and you will have
space to stand whether culti-
waiting. watering. feeding. or
picking the blooms. In this
way you can easily determine
the number Of plants that can
be accommodated. also you will
have a basis for estimating the
mass color effect. OF course.
in doing this you viii have to
name tentatively the kinds, per-
haps the varieties which you
will be using.
Scheme for the Ideal
All OF this is by way of say
ing that with q sketch Of your
beds you will have q good idea
as to what you want to have
in your garden in 1858. Then,
when the catalogs come, you
can begin by selecting those
that will produce the effeg
desired. Better stick to those
that have proven themselves
In Washington soils and cli-
mate. OF course. there will be
many newcomers whose de-
scriptions will sound most in
teresting and attractive. Good
Buy a small packet or a few
plants Of them and give them
an experimental try. For to-
morrow's garden II is safer to
choose those which you know
will do well in this area. Don't
be afraid TO chat with your
friends and neighbors about
varieties.
In laying out the garden II
is well to keep in mind that
most Of US spend the evenings
in the garden and that the
lighter colors. pink. white and
yellow make the best showing
Also. for mass color effects II
takes from six TO a dozen or
more plants to make an appre-
ciable showing. II flowers are
to be cut for indoor use--and
we believe this a desirable prac-
tice-then that six becomes a
dozen or more. and the dozen
becomes two dozen or more
This Is to say that in the flower
border we should limit our
numbers Of kinds and varieties
so as to provide space for an
ample number Of plants OF
each to do the Job.
