Plant Corn in April

How late is the season this year in
comparison to that of year ago is
pointed out by farmers who said that
at this time a year ago most of the
spring tillage had been completed and
some corn was planted last year be-
fore the end of April.
Due to the backward season, to-
gether with shortage of help, most of
the corn crop will be planted the latter
part of May, farmers said.
Because of cold weather and lack
of pasture, cattle usually turned out
by this time are being kept on dry
feed. Barns which were filled with
an abundance of livestock feed last
fall are fast becoming empty and
there will be little carryover of feed.
The late spring, however, may
prove a boon to the fruit. Continued
cold weather which has kept trees
leafless and retarded development of
fruit buds may prevent fruit trees
from blossoming until after the usual
severe spring frosts.

BACKWARD SPRING
PUTS farm WORK
BEHIND SCHEDULE
Cold Damp Weather Delays
Tillage Operations Thruout
Bluffton Area
Work is Some Three Weeks
Later than Last Year, Sur
vey Reveals

Unusually late spring weather has
delayed fam operations in the Bluff
ton district about three weeks be-
hind schedule it was indicated by
farmers here the first of the week in
response to survey of the situation
made by the Bluffton News.
The condition is particularly dis
quieting this year when farmers had
hoped for an early spring in order
that there might be more time for
tillage and seeding work to offset the
double handicap of shortage of man.
power and restrictions on new farm
machinery.
Cold, damp weather of the past two
weeks has brought some relief to the
wheat stand which was severly dam
aged by the previous dry sDell, ac-
companied by alternate freezing and
thawing and followed by high winds.
Half Wheat Crop
However, majority Of responsible
farm observers could see little pros
pect for more than half of a normal
wheat crop. Many of the fields seed
ed to wheat last fall were torn up this
spring and re-seeded to oats. This
practise would have been more ex-
tensive had there bee insufficient labor
available, it was stated.
Much of the available labor up to
this time has been occupied with
clearing away that portion of last
falls crops of corn and soybeans left
in the fields over winter because of
insufficient help to take care of the
yields last fall.
Present weather has brought farm
operations largely to standstill and
spring tillage must await more fav-
orable conditions before it can be re-
s11n1ed.

Guadalcanal Is almost unbeliev.
able. even In the eyes Of those who
have seen other large military bases.
Less than year ago, Guadalcanal
was a tropical island Of jungles and
cocoanut plantations, with q par
TALLY completed Jap airfield over
which bitter, bloody battle was
being waged. Today It is q teeming
beehive Of military activity-an adj
vance base for the support Of air,
naval and amphibious operations.
The field which the Japs had
started when American Marines
poured ashore on Aug. z, 1912, was
being operated by the Americans
within a few weeks. Today the
traffic in heavy, medium and light
bombers, fighters, observation and
cargo planes operating from Hen
derson Field probably Is greater
than that handled by any CONNER
cial field In the United States. In
addition to actual construction Of q
field Of sufficient proportions, this
traffic requires large maintenance
SASWSp SAAOPo aAA0 duSS oupPdSc VI
munitions and aviation gasoline.
Guadalcanal is more than an air
base, however. Guadalcanal and
the nearby islands support sea and
ground actibity as well as air. There
are huge supply dumps and thou
sands Of buildings have been con-
structed to house supplies, troops
and service personnel.
Supporting these forward bases,
large bases for supply and mainte-
nance must operate in rear areas
and supply lines must be kept open
between the advance bases, rear
bases and the United States, where
supplies and equipment for this and
other war fronts pour out Of fac
tories.

This correspondent recently vis-
tied a number Of American bases
In the Solomons which less than a
year ago were disputed tropical is
lands. The Seabees and engineers,
often working under air attack and
within range Of front-line fire, have
done an unprecedented job In con-
Struction Of these bases.
On New Georgia Seabee outfits
and engineers, operating with bull
dozers, tractors, caterpillars and
other modern heavy equipment, tore
into the mud and jungle to build
roads and installations long before
the positions were secured by the
fighting forces and despite heavy
Jap air attacks.
American methods offer q strik-
ing contrast to those used by the
Japanese. In the year that the
enemy occupied New Georgia, they
did little actual construction work
with the exception of heavy log
and-coral pillboxes and Munda aid
field, which appeared to have been
built largely by hand. Where the
Americans now are building roads
to accommodate heavy trucks the
JapS had only foot trails.
Airfleld Ready In 10 Days
Ten days after American forces
landed at Segi, on the southern end
Of New Georgia, in the opening
phases Of the campaign, a plane
made an emergency landing on an
airfield constructed there by Sea-
bees. Nineteen days after the occu-
patton the field was ready for OPP
irrational use.
Shell and bomb-ravaged Munda
airfield was in operation on the
eighth day after its capture, al
though the Japs had been unable
to operate from it for several
months. While fighters and cargo
/, S..2s.es tie tie field constantly, Sea-
bees are at work frightening and
improving it.
The installation built in the Rus
sell islands was constructed under
fairly favorable conditions after an
unopposed occupation. It is field
which many American municipal
tiles would be glad to have, al
though 1t was carved out of a COCO
anut plantation with equipment
brought thousands of miles across
the Pacific.
Incidentally, the Russells base
boasts the only hamburger stand
in the South Pacific-Joe's South
Pacific Pilots Club. which caters
to hungry pilots with hamburgers
and egg nogs.

Nothing too weighty to tire weary domes,
Don't hand me am Of your weighty tones
But give me book WIN detective keen
