PAGE FOUR Over The Back Fence By Max Smith WHAT'S WRONG with my rhododendron or other broad- leaf evergreens when the leaves curl this time of the year? This is a common question when temperatures get near zero but home own- ers are reminded that there is nothing to get concerned about, because this is a nor- mal situation in very cold weather. It's the plant's way of conserving moisture dur- ing cold weather. When warmer. weather returns, these curled leaves will ex- pand and resume their nor- mal shape and angle on the stem. Deep snow cover on many evergreens is a bless- ing this Winter because they are well-protected beneath the snow. DURING the past month we had plenty of time to {try out different materials on the sidewalks in order to prevent slipping. There are many materials that may be used but most of them have some disadvantage. Salt is very commonly used but tracks into the house and is hard on turf and shrubs near the point of application. Sand is safe to use but is not wel- come in the home when tracked in on foot-wear. I'd like to suggest the use of coarse sawdust to reduce this hazard. It is not harm- ful to lawns or plants and is cleaned up very readily when tracked into the home or buildings. It is reported that several kinds of nitrogen fertilizer may be used as abrasives, but engineers re- port them to be hard on the surface of the concrete when used repeatedly. THE USE of heat lamps is very common about the farm and many non-farm premises; they can be used to warm rooms and motors, and to keep pipes and pumps from freezing. On livestock farms many are used to warm the area of a new-born pig or lamb; this is very important in extremely cold weather. I'd like to. caution all users to be certain that the heat lamp is well fastened so that it will not drop down into bedding or other flammable material, and that the unit is safely out of reach of all animals. In times of stress and excitement animals may not behave normally and will attack these fixtures in their pens. CORRESPONDENCE Courses offered from Penn State Uni- versity are almost as popul- ar as the football team. I'd like to remind all readers that these courses by mail are available in many agri- cultural and home economics fields. This is a very simple method of increasing know- ledge while living a normal life away from the campus. Additional information anda list of the courses offered may be obtained by writing Correspondence Courses, College of Agriculture, Box 5000, University Park, Pa. 16802. The Winter months would be a good time to take one or more of these educa- tional courses. STAY sun ITCHING? Let doctor's formula stop it.
