Service garages in the state are operating with less than 30 per cent of the labor previously used, Carl Lane of Hartford, manager of the State Automobile Dealers associa- ton, stated at meeting of the Wa terbury dealers last night at The Elton. He expressed the belief the draft will cause many dealers to go out of business because of manpower shortage.
 The manpower situation involving mechanics will be disclosed in a sur- vey conducted in Waterbury by the state committee, it was announced.
 Purchase of used cars was dis cussed by John J. Collins, president of the local group, who stated con- plaints have been made on misrep- resentation in advertising concern ing the purchase of used cars by outside" dealers in Waterbury. Many of the used cars bought here are taken to Hartford or other points and then re-sold at higher prices, contrary to regulations, it was re- ported.

Success Of Gardening
 Depends On Elements
Balance of Chemical Properties Determines Success
 or Failure of Work; Demonstration Planned

Did you get results, both as to quality and quantity, from your vegetable plot this year2 If not, the soil may have been at fault. Just how important it is to add the right balance of chemical clements will be demonstrated in the Soils Depart ment greenhouse at the Open House of the Agricultural Station, New Haven, on Wednesday. September B. Members of the staff will be on hand from 10 a. m. to 4;30 D. m. to explain this and many other exhi- bits of interest to home gardeners.
 Definite Reaction
 Because of their rapid and defin- ite reaction to soil conditions, to- bacco plants are used as indicators in an experiment on soil fertility. Similar but less striking response may be expected from your vege- tables. One pot of soil contains all three basic plant food clements nitrogen, phosphorus and potas- eium. In three other pots, a differ ent one of these elements is lack ing in each soil. A second series consists of the same comparisons but with lime added to all pots.
 Almost from the time of setting, the plant in the pot containing complete supply of elements showed noticeably better growth than those in the soil deficiency pots It was larger and riIher green in color. Next best, but slightly smaller, was the plant in soil deficient in phos- phorus only. This element is large 1y responsible for the development of flower and fruit, so if the plants were allowed to grow to maturity, the differences would be greater than they are at the usual harvest stage for tobacco. Corn, squash, to- matoes, bears, cabbages eggplants and other vegetables composed Of the fruit or seed require a soil rich in phosphorus.
 Potassium
 Potassium favors root develop ment, and is essential to various life processes and to the formation of starch, sugar and other carbohy- drates from water and carbon diox- idle. Tobacco plants growing in the soil deficient in this element have mottled, crinkled leaves whose edges curl under. Potassium should be available in sufficient quantity for potatoes and root crops like car rots and turnips.
 Nitrogen is largely responsible for good top growth, giving luxurlant foliage O. deep green color. Tn the pot deficient in this element, growth is slowed and the foliage is a sickly yellow. To leafy vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce and kale, nitrogen is especially important.
 Though not one of the usually limiting elements, lime added III adequate quantity to soil stimulates biological activity, eleminates toxic substances like soluble aluminium It also helps to make other nutri- ents more readily available and im- proves the physical condition of the soil. E.ime deficient soil is seriously handicapped II many ways.
 Tho basic soIf elements are just as important to the growth of trees and other woody plants as they are to tobacco and vegetables. A re- action similar to that in tobacco may be seen in poplar trees growing in test plots beside the soils green house. Poplars supplied with a com plete fertilizer show the sturdiest and healthiest growth. Not so tall,

T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Office)
 BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst

Any doN5t that concrete plans for total British-American war against Japan had figured as a major point in the Quebec discussions would seem to be dispelled by the empha- sis placed on the subject by Bren- dan Bracken, British Minister of Information, in his meeting with the press.
 Bracken confirmed Prime Minis ter Churchill's promise of six weeks ago that British ships, planes and men would be loosed in full force against Japan, along with the Un- tied States, when they are made available by the defeat of Hitler.
 Beyond that, he was naturally un- able to contribute anything specific about tactical or strategic plans, but it can be assumed that such plans have been overhauled by the confer ence, and their time table made subject to revision as developments warrant.
 One important factor which the conferses must have considered would be the statuts of Russia when the main assault on Japan comes.
 Unfortunately, 1t is a subject on which no definite decisions could be made at this time.
 The military program for dealing with Hitler is already clear-cut and complete. Only political uncertain ties remain. The program for Japan is equally clear-cut but far from complete because it must temporar fly be based on the premise that Russia will have no active part in 1t.
 If, after Hitler's defeat, Russia consents to join Britain and the United States in the same coali- ton against Japan, the program in the Far East would be greatly al- tered, simplified. and shortened by many months--maybe years.
 Britain and the United States are prepared to do the job alone and are confident of being able to do it. However, if Russia came in, air bases close to the heart of Japan would be available immediately. The Rus sian Far Eastern army, augmented from the west, could deal with the formidable land armies which Jap an has massed in Manchuria and Korea.
 Those armies are going to be diff ficult to handle, even if the Allies break through Burma and free the rest of China. Their strength is not definitely known, but accord ing to Chinese sources quoted by the foreign policy association, they con- stitute the .arger part of Japan's land strength i'll Asia.

but still of a good green color are those lacking only phosphorus and potassium. Showing decidedly yell Jewish foliage are the poplars that have been deprived of nitrogen.
 Why 1t is important to water ade- quately, rather than giving a super ficial sprinkling. will also be dem onstrated by soil scientists on Open House day. The test will show the depth of penetration of varying a. mounts of water, and the difference in the amounts required by bare soil and by soil under sod.
 Home Gardeners with specific questions are ,7elcome to bring them to the Victory Garden Clinic. A group of experts at the Stations Open House will aid gardeners in solving problems in soil manage ment, planting dates and methods, pest control, and vegetable and fruit storage.
