How important are require ments for sunlight (solar radia tion) in selection of ornamental plants for the home flower gar den? A. For many species, the re quirement for sunlight with re spect to quantity and intensity is related directly to their tempera ture requirements. Some species require continuous shade, others full sun, and there are many that respond best to short per iods of full sunlight (jitring the day. The latter consideration is further qualified by the time of day when exposure occurs. Instructions are provided on most seed packets for the se lection of planting sites. The gardener who wants good results in home flower garden plantings should follow those instructions. -- Dr. J. R. Haun, associate pro fessor, horticulture. Q. My wife and I have a young child and are expecting another. Is there any way we can figure how much it will cost to raise our family? A. The current rate of infla tion makes this a tough question. The U. S. Department of Agri culture in 1966 estimated a cost between $13,000 to $27,000 to rear a child to age 18. Variations in the cost arose from family in come and number of children in the family. With two or more children, the cost per child was less. The Institute of Life Insur ance in an earlier study had estimated that a middle income city family with three children would spend close to $24,000 per child to rear each one to age 18. This doesn’t include the cost of education beyond high school or child care costs for working mothers. These figures obviously are obsolete now because of infla tion, but may be used as some sort of base with upward ad justments as the value of the dollar decreases. -- Veronica Carmack, assistant Extension specialist, home management. Q. What can be added to black bottom land to soften it? A. I believe the most practi cal means of softening black bot tom land would be to grow a good green manure crop and plow un der. Rye would be an excellent crop for the winter and it could ue turne d under in spring months. Winter cover crops do not tie up the land for summer use. How ever, you can use a number of cover crops for summer months—such as cowpeas, red clover, soybeans, Sudan grass, and many others—so long as you plow them under for organic mat ter. -- J. A. Martin, associate professor of horticulture. Q. I had canned food stored in the garage and it froze during extremely cold weather. Did this harm the food? A. The texture of fruits and vegetables may be affected, otherwise freezing does not al ter the quality of the food. Should the extreme cold rupture the can, however, the food would be sub ject to spoilage just as if you had opened the container. -- Mrs. Marie Hindman, Extension spe cialist, nutrition. Let's Talk About BY KATHY SHIELDS Training The Dog dog owner finds it necessary to .walk his dog to provide the ne cessary exercise. This leads us to the problem of lead training the dog. For ages man and his dog have been companions and helpers. Man has used the dog in many ways but whether it be work animal or family pet he has ear ned the right to be man’s friend. We have all witnessed man walking his dog and sometimes it is difficult to determine whether man is walking the dog or if the dog is wrjking the man. In todays towns and cities it is not easy to keep a dog since space is li mited and it is only fair that the dog have room to exercise. The Plantation Tour Set In Charleston The Women ofSt. Philip’s Pro testant Episcopal Church in Charleston will sponsor a Plan tation Tour on Saturday, March 21. Tickets will be $8.50 per per son, which will include lunch served en route. The tickets will be limited, so advance reserva tions will be accepted if accom panied by a check for the entire amount. Reserved tickets will be held and can be picked up with maps the night before from 5 - 7 p.pi. and the morning of the tour from 8-11 a.m. at the Fort Sumter Hotel. For reservations, please write: Mrs. Paul Belknap, 13 Meeting Street, Charleston, S. C. 29401. The itinerary will be in the Edisto River region and will in clude three plantations, a small church, a summer house, and grounds of a manor house: Dixie Plantation; Willtown Bluff Plan tation; The Grove; Sunnyside; Seabrook House Grounds; The Presbyterian Church, Edisto Is land. It is suggested that guests leave Charleston at approximately 10 a.m. The houses will not be open before that hour. Guests will be expected to provide their own transportation. Lead training is necessary not only for exercising but also for giving you and your dog the ne cessary first steps in teaching the dog obedience. The first step is to place se curely a lightweight lead around the dogs neck and with short tugs encourage him to take a step. Some dogs have no objec tion to this at all while others jump and twist making you think they are choking. If he objects let him calm down and begin a- gain. Call him by name using a pleasant voice. Do not drag him along but coax him by using short jerks. Keep the lead tight not allowing him room to go in any direction other than the one you want him to go. Repetition is the key to success. When he begins walking easily, keep him at your side not allowing him to walk ahead nor lag behind. Hold the lead tight then when you get no resistance loosen up on the lead allowing him to remain at your side on his own. If he tags behind or lunges forward tighten up on the lead again and repeat the process. Once he has learned that you are determined to walk him instead of letting him walk you, he will be eager to please and win your approval.
