Landscaping Saves Energy Landscaping around the home is important to its beauty, but it can also provide the homeowner with another way to save on his energy bills. With the fall planting season approaching, now is a good time to consider energy-efficient beautifi cation projects. "If planned correctly, landscap ing can reduce heating and cooling costs by minimizing the effects of severe weather. "For example, deciduous trees, which bear leaves in spring and shed them autumn, shade your home during the hottest part of the year. Evergreen trees help block the cold winter wind," said Charles Barron, system energy services engineer in Carolina Power & Light Co.'s conservation and load man agement department. CP&L has produced a free booklet on energy-saving plantings which can be obtained at local CP&L offices. In landscape planning, Barron said, the first step is to study the direction of the sun and wind, because they can substantially af fect the home's temperature and energy requirements. "Sunlight can be blocked in summer by the planting of decidu ous trees along the south, southeast and southwest sides of the home. The Treasure Chest Fine Jewelry & Gifts 1 13 W.

During the hottest part of a summer day, a fully shaded home can be as much as eight to 10 degrees cooler indoors than an unshaded home. Deciduous trees provide another cooling effect in summer because they create light breezes by drawing hot air up through their branches, moisturizing the air as it rises. These "pools" of cool air surround ing the home can reduce the temperature, Batron said. Some large deciduous trees which grow well in this region are willow oak, sugar maple, silver maple, red maple and river birch. Small deciduous trees which grow well are crape mvrtle, dogwood, callery pear, Japanese maple, crab apple and flowering cherry. Tall evergreen trees are good windbreaks from cold northwest winter winds. Recent studies in some sections of the United States show that windbreaks can cut winter fuel consumption by 10 to 30 percent, Barron said. "For the best windbreak, ever green trees should be planted on the northwest side of the home," he said. In this area, several types of tall evergreens grow well: loblolly pine, red cedar, southern magnolia and deodar cedar. Barron said a row of tall ever greens can be strengthened as a windbreak by adding a second row of smaller evergreens in front of the first row. Some popular small evergreens are photinia (red tip), osmanthus. ligustrum and Ameri can holly. Shrubs placed along the north west side of the home can also provide added insulation from the cold. By planting shrubs near but not directly against the house foundation, a "dead air space" or insulation zone is created which slows the heat escape from the house. Since denser shrubs provide more protection.

Japanese and Chinese hollies are two popular evergreen shrubs that grow well in this region. Ground coven, such as ivy or grasses, can provide a cooling effect to the home in summer by reducing heat from direct sunlight and glare from paved areas. Barron said temperatures above ground covers exposed to the sun are about 10 to 14 degrees cooler than tempera tures over bare soil or pavement. A further reduction in the home's exposure to sun can be achieved with the growth of vines along the walls most exposed to sunlight. Virginia creeper, clematis and roses grow well in this region. Barron said landscaping projects may be affected by factors such as limited space, existing trees and shrubs or the shape of the home. He recommends the homeowner contact a landscape architect, a nursery or the local county agricul tural extension service for specific landscaping recommendations. Nutrition Thoughts Mrs. Dolores Dial and Mrs. Minnie Simmons. Extension Ex panding Food and Nutrition, wish to share this information from Extension Foods and Nutrition Specialist at North Carolina State University. Salt substitutes are not an auto matic answer to reducing the amount of sodium in the diet. Most of the substitutes replace some of the sodium with potassium so that they have about half as much sodium as table salt. However the balance of sodium and potassium in the body is important. It may be possible to overuse salt substitutes, just as many people overuse table salt. Most salt substitutes carry a warning label suggesting that in dividuals check with a doctor before using the product. It's equally important for people to consult a physician if they plan to use the salt substitutes ex clusively. The important thing is to become less dependent on that taste of salt. Foods that are often salted can be enjoyed without salt or with other seasonings, such as onion, lemon, garlic, or herbs such as oregano.
