TIPS FROM CLEMSON
HOME &
OUTDOORS
Q. 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.
