SIX RgSEBURS REW5-REVIEW. ROSEBUR'S. OREGON. SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1943. Corn Well Worth Heeded Sacrifice In Garden Space Since wo cat only I ho seed of .wool coin, discarding ihc rnsl or 1 lii' law plant, the yield is small for the space occupied. Many Har deners are willing to make a sac rifice In order to enjoy even a small amount of this superlative food, which only home Kardenors can enjoy at Its best. In markets, since It is Impossible to got sweet corn in less than a dav after it, has been picked, hall its su;;ar nas been turned to starch, with , corresponding loss of flavor. A patch of sweet corn in a space fifteen feet square in nor mal weather should yield ten doz en ears. This Is approximate, of course; each stalk bearing at least one ear, and some of them bear ing two. Kor the gardener who wants the finest sweet corn rather than the largest ear or heaviest yielJ, successive plantings of Golden Hantam will give the greatest sat isfaction except in locations where disease resislancc Is re quired. The season during which a sowing of this corn is at its best is ten days at most; so not more than a 10 days' supply for your family shoidd be sown at one time. Hybrids Need More Room. Hybrid sweet corn lias both ad vantages and disadvantages. It gives a larger ear, and thus a heavier yield, coupled with a shorter season, and not quite so delicious a flavor. Most hybrids are disease resistant, and more vigorous than Golden Bantam, but they require more room and richer feeding to produce their heavier crop. If hybrids are chosen, It is a good plan to sow three or four strains, with differing maturity dates, at the same time and thus prolong the harvest. This practice also extends the pollinating pe riod of the planting and lessens the danger of a failure to fertilize the silk, which may occur where one hybrid strain only is grown due to unfavorable weal her con ditions. A sowing of sweet corn should be made in four short rows, rath er than In a single long row. This insures that when the pollen is ripe, a cross wind will cany it to the silk In the young ears of an adjoining row .rather than wasting it on the ground, as might be the case In a single row. Each silk must be fertilized by pouen, in order to produce a ker Bud and Lou Hud Abbott and Lou Costello are shown in a scene from their latest comedy, "It Ain't May," featuring Grace McDonald, Cecil Kcllaway, Eugene Palletle. Coming to the Indian Sunday. Elvlry shoots and suckers need not be removed. Ears should be picked when they are ready, neither before or after. If you grow Golden Ban tam, for the last sowing a late variety will probably do best, as the extreme heat of midsummer Is not favorable to Bantam. See the Weaver Bros, and Elvlry in "Mountain Rhythm," starting Sunday ut the Rose theatre. are traceable to poor pollination. Avold Frost Danger. Seed should be sown when dan ger of frost is over about two inches deep either In continuous drills or hills. In drills, sow three or four seeds to a foot, later to be thinned out to six inches apart for dwarf growing varie ties or n foot apart for tall ones. Space the hills two to three feet apart in the rows, according to the size of the variety, and for both drills and hills, space the rows two to three feet apart. Deep cultivation of corn must be avoided because the plants have shallow roots; but all weeds should lie kept down and the soil slnred. to break Its crust, imlil nol .and many failures with corn the planls are half grown.

To get one of these cars, a farmer's present cur must l)e unserviceable, a 1939 model or older, with at least 40,000 miles on it. Wrecked new models can also bo replaced. CUCUMBERS ESSENTIAL Because the army needs pick les, cucumbers for processing are being added to the list of essen tial crops in the war units plan for selective service deferment of farm workers. Two acres of cucumbers for processing equals one war unit. Attu Japs Slashed Into Three Remnants (Continued lrom page 1.) mlnation of the allies to neutral ize enemy air strongholds above New Guinea with a great weight of bombs have Intensified the southwest Pacific air war. Showing more and more In clination to challenge the daily forays of Lieut. General Kenney's bombers and fighters, the Japan ese used 47 planes yesterday in laid and combat, bringing to 300 the number they have employed in a week's period. Their losses yesterday of 22 destroyed or dam aged raised their total for the ween to approximately 70. Today's communique also list ed one allied bomber as shot down and three missing. The Japanese, rather than risk more ships to General Kenney's accurate bombers in directly sup plying northeast New Guinea holdings nearest allied lines, pre fer to move barges down to coast from supply centers more re moved from allied airdromes. Yes terday, bombers spotted more than a dozen of these barges, car lying men, ammunition and sup plies, above the enemy's hard pressed Salamaua. Out of 10 ob served near Alcxishafen, five were sunk and the others had to be beached. Still other barges were swooped upon near Fin schhafon, three being destroyed. Larger Force Beaten The biggest air action yester day took place over Salamaua, the Hon gulf buse of the enemy upon which allied troops are in filtrating from the scene of their Papuan peninsula triumph 150 miles down the coast. P-38's dis regarded the fact they were out numbered to pile into 20 Zeros, shooting down six and probably destroying or damairinsr seven others, without loss to themselves. I he latest in the almost daily series of allied attacks on the enemy airdrome of Gasmata, on South New Britain only a short flight from New Guinea, led to another big action. The small force of raiding Liberators was swarmed upon by 15 Zeros. Four enemy planes were shot down. One allied bomber in a group which preceded the Liberators In the Gasmata raid failed to get home. Peril Stalks on Flood Of Mississippi River (Continued rrom page 1.) to crops and properly by the floods reached staggering figures, losses running into the millions of dollars. The number of dead was 14 eight in Indiana, 3 in Missouri, 2 in Oklahoma and 1 in Illinois. Thousands of soldiers were in the flood zone and were aided by 25,000 civilian defense volunteers. LI. Col. J. A. Adams, deputy dis trict engineer at St. Louis, said today that everything possible had been done to meet the dan gers of the rising Mississippi from Alton southward 100 miles. Ho said the Claryville seawall in Perry county, Mo., had been re inforced and completed, as had other levees along the Mississippi on both the Illinois and Missouri sides. In St. Louis the river stage last night was 37.3 feet, with a crest of 38 feet predicted for to dav or tomorrow. Allied Raids on Italy Destroy 285 Airplanes (Continued lrom page 1.) ed one raider was brought down and that bombs caused some damage and casualties. The Eighth U. S. air force said yesterday's midday assault on Emden and Wilhelmshaven, Ger many's North Sea naval base, were pressed home and a large weight of bombs" dropped "de spite very strong enemy lighter opposition and intense flak."

Communist Units of World Asked to Dissolve (Continued from page 1.) develop the armed snuggle against Hitler. This general mobilization of (ho masses for early victory over the common enemy, it continued would ho more productive when carried out independently by the various workers movements on nationalistic lines. This is one lesson of the war which has brought broad masses of the people together regardless of party and religion, it added. NEW YORK, May 22.

BEATS IP WISE Q Well, one man is judge and jury over there. One Nazi gang his personal political party runs everything. Busi ness, religion, education all human activities are under the same political management. What they tell you to do, you do. If you go to the police, they are the police. If you go to court, they are the court. The cards are stacked against you. You haven't got a chance. Today, we're battling that brutal system for all we're worth to prove that our way of life is better a way of life which respects the rights of individuals, allows them to work, create, and live their own lives in freedom. Here is a boy who starts as a core-maker's helper in a steel mill, and becomes president of his company. Here is a girl who learns to sew and becomes a famous dress designer. Here is a man who enters government service and becomes a cabinet member. AN of them advanced by their own ability and initi frive. That's the way it ought to be. It's right, and fair, and just. It's the business of business men to run our industries. It s the business of pubL'j officials to regulate them in the interest of the people. Yes, it's a great system, this American busi ness management. It's great because it works. It works so well that right today America leads the world in many things, and one of them is the production of electric power. There is no substitute for War Bonds, either!
