Tying Tomatoes fo By HENRY L.

lower shoots and tie them to the stake along with the original stem. Do not prune off any leaves, and do not cut back the top of the plant until it reaches the top of the stake. Tight around the stake, loose around the stem, is the rule in tying. Use a soft but strong twine, passing under the nearest leaf. Raffla and cloth strips are seldom satisfactory. Avoid tying blossom clusters between the stem and the stake. As the plants grow they will have to have additional ties to the stake, about a foot apart, not tight. | Mulch and take it easy. When plants are well started and you want a rest from cultivating, weeding and watering, spread the area between the rows with a mulch of grass clippings, hay, straw, weeds or other light litter. This helps to retain moisture, keeps the roots cool and increases the yield. Weeds should be cut down before placing mulch.

WARTIME LIVING—

Public Can Help in Canning Crisis by Donating Its Time

By ANN STEVICK NEA Staft Writer WASHINGTON, June 5—While the heat will be on the canning business next fall, when big seasonal vegetable crops come in, canners may not get cans for non-seasonal items such as chicken, beef and bean soups, or canned pork and beans. Your markets might show a tempo-

rary shortage of these items later.

War production board experts say they are ready, however, on a

catch as catch can basis, to sup- |

ply all the tin the law allows when big crops of major food items turn up to be canned. For instance, a bigger than expected crop of west coast fruit is foreseen. Grapefruit juice, peaches and pears have no limits on their canning quotas, therefore WPB means to see to it that canners get all

id the tin they Ann Stevick can use, The Drawback

The drawback is more likely to be in getting people to do the work. That may. be the picture on other crops and that is where you come in if you can arrange to help out in a canning emergency for a week or two, Another place where you come into this year's canning scene, the war food administration points out, is in adding another row of tomato plants to your victory garden for home canning. The government requirement for tomatoes has been up to 52 per cent of the pack. The home folks will have to make up for it.

Less Polish

Watch for the new wartime unpolished rice. Millers are reported by WSA to be turning out more undermilled rice, between brown and the usual white polished rice. You get more food from the same amount of rice, and the outer coating left on each kernel is a valuable source of B vitamin. The unpolished rice

Stay out of the bean patch when the vines are wet to avoid spreading bean blight. This dis ease will sweep through a patch very rapidly, turning the leaves brown, spotting the pods, and ruining the crop.

There is no practical way to control bean blight. The bacteria on the wet leaves can be brushed from leaf to leaf by tools din cultivation, or by pickers as they work through the vines looking for the best pods.

There are more than a dozen vegetables that may be planted in the garden this week and still have time to mature. Crops such as lettuce, radishes, and peas, which require cool temperature, should not be planted during the hegt of the summer.

Transplants of late cabbage, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and peppers may be set out and will mature before frost. Beans, sweet corn, cucumber, squash, beets, carrots, Swiss chard, and kale may be seeded in the garden this week and you can expect good results,

Consultation before recognition is considered an extremely dangeraus weapon, having at least two and perhaps more cutting edges. Non-recognition of Bolivia, for instance, was clearly at the request of the Washington state department. Now, with the report of Ambassador Avra W. Warren's personal investigation in Bolivia as a basis for new consultation concerning Bolivia, it becomes evident that consultation

BIGGEST COMMANDS

WASHINGTON, June 5 (U. P.).— The United States army has more men per general today than any other major force in the world, according to Rep. Overton Brooks (D. La). Stating that he was giving the figures to refute charges that our army was top-heavy with generals, he said U. S. generals command an average of 6278 men apiece. The Italians come next, he said, with 5100 men to each general. Then, in succession, come the Germans with one general to 5000

men, the British with one to 2528, the Japanese with one to 2400 and the Chinese with one to 1000.

He said U. S. generals today are

responsible for nearly three times the personnel they were at the beginning of the war.
