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.

l.r Ground
By Lynn M. Watklns
He w Iut'h Mulch?
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.
