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

shoots and suckers need not be

Ears should be picked when
they are ready, neither before or
after. If you grow Golden Ban

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. Side

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.

were in the flood zone and were

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

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!
