Irrigation Helpful For Home Gardens Improve Yields In All Parts Os U.S. WASHINGTON (INS) — A couple of government farm researchers indicated today they have a sneaking suspicion home gardeners do not fully realize the advantages of irrigation. Victor R. Boswell and Marlowe Thorne, both agriculture department scientists, pointed out that many a proud vegetable grower across the nation does not take full benefit of the wonders of irrigation. They said too many gardeners are of the opinion that irrigation should be confined to areas of moderate rainfall, whereas, according to and Thorne, irrigation can jmprove yields in all parts of the country. The two researchers explained that growing vegetables are tbffsty little things, and can use three to nine inches of water per month. Total water needs of various vegetables during the growing season range from six inches for winter lettuce to as much as 24 inches for tomatoes or potatoes. Boswell and Thorne suggest the use of irrigation in any area which generally receives less than enough rainfall to supply adequate water for all growing vegetables. According to the government officials, it takes 2,700 gallons of water to supply one Inch to a garden measuring 60 to 70 feet. This is aboUt 25 times as much as the average household uses daily per person. But gardeners should make certain, the scientists advise, that they can obtain their irrigation water at reasonable rates. Here is one vital recommendation from Boswell and Thorne: Vegetables to be eaten raw should be irrigated with pure water only. They urge that all gardeners check the quality of irrigation enter to make certain' it will not harm growing plants. The two point out, for instance, that garden beets, kale, asparagus, and spinach can stand a. great deal of salt in the water they receive. On the other hand, radishes, celery, green beans, and vine crops will tolerate very little salt For many crops — other than those to be eaten raw — water from contaminated wells or streams may prove satisfactory. The researchers suggest moderate irrigation, perhaps once each week, pointing out that five one inch rains do a garden more good IhM AniiJiva inch rain 'ln other words, water is more beneficial in a number of small doses than in a single large dose. The "squeeze test” can be applied to soil so that gardeners can determine whether to irrigate. When soil at the rooting depth of vegetables is a little too dry to hold together when it is squeezed in the hand, it is time to irrigate.

Burdett added that he joined .the party because of his “friendship” with Einhorn and the others and because of their “common interests” in the Guild. The newsman swore that In January, 1940, Einhorn had him “get in touch” with Joe North, a correspondent for the Communist “Daily Worker,” and this led to ■his becoming a spy. Burdett said he met North in the latter’s Greenwich Village apartment and North told him the party wanted him to go to Finland. The witness testified: "North said, *we have an assignment in which you can be useful to the party’.” Burdett said North arranged a ."rendezvous” with a third man near Union Square in New York.

Subcommittee counsel Jay Sourwine said this was the same Golos named as a Communist "contact” man by Elizabeth Bentley, confessed-' former Communist spy courier. Burdett said the Eagle did not send correspondents abroad so Golos tbld him to go over as a "roving correspondent,” paying his own expenses. He added: “I did have my own means.” Continue Hunt For Poison In River Hundreds Os Fish Killed At Lebanon LEB IHfl. ' state board of health official returned to Lebanon today to continue his search for the source of poison that killed fish in Prairie Creek. Ralph Holtje, the board’s industrial waste section director, said a day long check Tuesday of waste sources in Lebanon and surrounding Boone county failed to disclose the source of cyanide. Holtje said, in comparison with a preliminary test of the stream's water which showed cyanide, a test Tuesday showed no cyanide. He said there may or may net have been cyanide in the water. The health official explained that some acide act IJke cyanide when dumped into streams and this makes tracking the offender much more difficult An was launched when hundreds of fish were found dead in the stream. * Boy Bit By Dog, Animal Is Held Jose Guerra, Jr., may have to spend a few days standing up.

(Continued frtwn Page One) wage increase of between 13 and 16 cents an hour with the result that steel prices would be boosted an average of $4.50 a ton. Industry spokesmen said they were willing to bring their offers up to 12% cents an hSuf~lf _ 'FHey” got some indication from union officials that the sum would be. feasible. Orders to start the slow blackout of the plants, which have been , running at capacity to satisfy defense and civilian demands, were issued Tuesday after contract negotiations neared an impasse. President Clifford Hood of U. S. Steel, which sets the pattern for the indusWiy, caMed “fair and ’quitable" the firm’s offer to hike vages a little more than 10 cents in hour. He claimed that a ehutdown would have "damaging effects on ’he country’s presently flourishing economy” and deemed the strike moves “wholly unnecessary” because a “substantial increase” has been offered. The union" is using as its bargaining yardstick the 20-cent package won by the CIO United Auto Workers in recent Ford and General Motors agreements. The union dismissed the management offers as “completely inadequate” and aH new blds as “more of the same.” However, union officials did not specify what they would consider as an acceptable wage Increase.

Motor Is Reported Stolen From Mower The motor from a lawn mower owned by Glen Reinhart of route four was stolen sometime over the weekend, according to a report to Sheriff Merle Affolder. The mower was last used on Friday, according to ißeinhart. The theft was discovered Tuesday morning. Probing New York Liquor Authority _ Brooklyn Catcher « To Produce Records NEW YORK (INS) — Roy Campanella, the Brooklyn Dodgers’ star catcher, was scheduled to appear today before state Investigations commissioner Irving Shapiro with all the books and records of his package liquor store. ’ This was the latest move in the widening probe of the state liquor authority that has claimed the jobs of 18 persons thus far. Campanella has a liquor store in Harlem. ♦ "They called me down before I left on the last western trip," said the husky catcher, “and I’m going back today and bringing all my records they ask me to. I have nothing to worry about. “They are not investigating me. They are investigating the liauor board and its employes. Trank God, I’ve got a good, clean business. I borrowed money from the ball club and mortgaged my homo to buy It.” . - The license for Campanella's store was a transfer from Brooklyn to Manhattan — an out of the county deal. Package store licenses, under the rules, cannot be transferred from one county to another. Shapiro, in a news conference Tuesday, said 90 percent of the package liquor store transfers were for money — ranging from $2,500 to 175.000 —and arranged by a “coterie of lawyers” who sometimes cut themselves into the business.
