'aiiuiiias i.jraiie Ace 41 t. Central Avenue , Mtaiora, ure curves underneath their blue coveralls. Back in Montana, where I come from, the people who harvest logs are men with hefty muscles. But in Russia what men do, women do, and there are hundreds of lady lumberjacks in the forests near Petrozavod. k, the capital of the Karelo-Finnish Autono mous Soviet Socialist Repub lic that some years ago be came part of the Russian Re public. A group of foreign corres pondents were taken to in spect a lumber camp, a col lective farm setup, of course. The cluster of log cabins among the pines could have been in Montana - except for the ever-present red banner over the club house door cry ing for the workers to over fulfill their log quota, build for communism, etc. Logs Unloaded Down the road logs were being unloaded from trucks from the forest. Workers grap pled the heavy logs with three-foot-long iron hooks to keen them on conveyor belts leading to railway freight cars. Many of the grapplers slinging those logs around like matchsticks were Russian girls, some with braids peek ing from beneath their head kerchiefs. They, wore blue coveralls, padded blue jackets and knee-length black rubber boots. "Forty per cent of our 2,100 workers are women," the lum ber camp chairman, Ivin Druz- hmin, told us. The collective provides low- cost housing for the wdrkers, traditional Russian log homes with electricity and TV but outdoor toilets. In the forest the cutters use electric saws and tractors that automatical ly lift and haul the felled trees. This forest area does not look like the traditional Rus sia of birch trees and endless steppes. Actually it was not always Russia. Karelo used to be a separate land populated by Finns. Its lakes and forests resemble Finland. It was part of the Swedish empire until It was liberated by the Russians, as the history books here say, in the 14th and 15tn cen turies. Finland took over the area during the last World War, but, as loser, returned it to Russia again. Finns Hav Own Theater Thirty per cent of the 651, 000 citizens of Petrozavodsk, a lovely cit with wide boule vards (although with few cars) and graceful squares, are Finns. They have their own theater, with a Russian director. The Russian radio gives newscasts in Finnish each day. A Finnish news paper is published tvice a week. Street signs, shop signs and railway station signs in the republic are in both Fin nish and Russian. However, tho schools now are all Russian and since 1098 only Finnish language is taught only if a student re quests it. We were told no western ers, and few foreigners, have visited Petrozavodsk since be fore the war. So we drew a smash audience of friendly, curious people at the railway station and outside our Norm- ern Hotel. When word got around that our group Includ ed a Finnish correspondent from Helsinki, he was the biggest hit o all. FARMER TO DIE Pretoria, South Afrlca-HJPD-A court Monday convicted Hcndrlk J.

Nature Always Knows Mulch, interpreted broadly, is just another name meaning soft or mellow, and has to do with a ground covering that is applied to plants that, if left along, Nature would ac complish herself. To the home gardener, or to any householder who enjoys shrubs and flowers around his house, the question of how much mulch" is one of his most important problems. Many very successful grow ers say that mulch of some sort or other should be so gen erously used that not an Inch of bare ground shows around any plant, tree or shrub. Es pecially Is this true where sandy soils are general. And. as in all things, mod eration is important. There Is danger in too much mulch, as well as too little. There's a happy middle ground, and within it the wise plant grow er raises plants that flourish and blossom, in spite of a burning sun or long continued drought. Farmer's Mulch The farmer creates a mulch of sorts In a field when he cultivates, or hoes, by break ing up the natural capillary action In the soil; very aptly this is called a "dust mulch." The list of materials suitable for use of the home owner as a mulch, is rather extensive. Finely chopped straw, lawn grass cuttings, sea-weed; peat, or any loose material will do, that will not become soggy and matted whereby the need ed oxygen is shut off from the plant roots. The straw in a strawberry bed keeps the roots of the plrnt from drying out, keeps down the weeds, and makes a clean bed on which the ripen ed fruit can lie one very im portant reason why the ber ries you purchase are not cov ered with sand. In tropical countries, where the sun beats down like a blowtorch, a special mulching naner has been used with startling success. Pineapples especially have long been planted under paper. Many home gardeners, have used old newspapers with satisfac tory results. , Actually this mulching business is nothing new as far as Nature is concerned; she has been using it since the first Dlant grew. A tree ac complishes it normally and naturally. The leaves tail, de posit themselves on the ground and form a vaiuaDie protective blanket. Never Too Mucn It is a warm blanket over the roots during cold weath er; a cool shade to keep the hot sun from cooking or dry ing out the soil in the sum mer ana) lis everlasting ue composition supplied much of the necessary plant food for the continued well-being 01 the tree. Nature, if left alone, never mulched one of her subjects too much; there was some ar rangement made a long time ago which govern this; if the leaf layer built up too fast under a tree the wind blew part of It away to furnish plant food, shade, or water retaining material somewhere else. It is a system we never improved on. Mostly, we nave reacnea a peculiar stage In our plant management, whereby we carefully rake up and burn all the leaves that fall, and then turn around and mulch the tree with some articifial ma terial to accomplish what the tree was attempting to do for itself In the first place. We call this scientific plant culture.
