YOUR VICTORY GARDEN ...By Henry L. Pree Tomato Is Queen of Garden, But Requires Early Coddling
The tomato, queen of the home garden, will thrive under a fairly 4* wide range of soil, but will produce best in a well-drained, sandy; loamy, acid soil. A fistful of garden lime worked well into the soil will engourage deeper root growth... While tomato culture is rather simple, the plant is sensitive to frosf, } blight and lack of moisture. Hight points in tomato culture are: Using ‘Séeds or plants recommended by your Jocal victory garden committee and county -agricultural agent; planting in a wellprepared soil, and Keeping weeds under control. ” It is generally best to buy plants; however, seeds of late varieties may be sown in the open," | but -the- practice is not recommended - for the’ home gardener. The best plants are stocky, wellbranched and generally no more than eight to 12 inches . tall. Purchase "individual potted plants if possible; they cost] a few cents more and are worth the difference.” As a rule, plants grown in flats are so crowded that they are spindly and lacking in both root and foliage development, and receive ‘a severe set-back from handling. Potted plants are trans-
growth of foliage, Wiosom drop, and a resulted 10ss of fruits. Mulching . (with straw, hay or similar litter, | (after. the first few cultivations, will reduce weed growth, conserve moisture; induce a betfr root growth,

JAPS TO FEEL
“700-Mile Jet Plane.
By ROBERT N. FARR . Science Service Staff. Writer WASHINGTON, May 2.—For the little men of the Mikado’s armies the expression “Beware of the Ides of March” might well be | changed to “Watch * out for new American weapons in May.” It is this month-that the Japs will begin to feel the full force of many new weapons, until now secret, to be used by the army service forces. On Iwo Jima they got the first taste of 7.2-inch chemjcal rockets fired at intervals of 3-10 of a second from a new 24-fube rocket launcher that cain be mounted on the back of a truck. . Soon the Nips’ planes will be: shot down with a new vibrationless that can direct gunfire on a plane moving 700 miles an hour. A new 105 millimeter gun, the biggest caliber-gun using a completely assembled shell, will hit targets as far as 27,000 yards away at | the rate of 20 shots a minute.” The gun can be pointed by ohandlebar controls, Locates Enviny Guns
