THE solution to this problem

War Prize
BY The Associated Press

Capture of Catania, key to the
Eastern defense system of Sicily,
gives the Allies possession of the
islands second city, together
with one of the most important
harbor's on Sicily's East coast.
With a population of more
than a quarter of million, Ca
tania is exceeded only by Paler-
mo in size. In addition, it dom
mates the Catania plain, called
by Cicero "the richest part of
Sicily" which has been a major
source of food, especially wheat
and fruits, for Italy and Ger
many.
BROAD FOOTING
Occupation of the plain gives
the Allies a broad footing along
the fertile and strategic East
Central coast of the island, with
in so miles of the Italian main
land. II also provides valuable
links in the rail and highway
system of Eastern Sicily.
The valuable Catania air
field, at the Eastern end of the
plain. is only Is miles from the
important Gerbini network of
airfields, located in the Dittaino
valley, most of which have been
either taken or neutralized.

sowing until the crop natures. Fall
crops are soWn in July and August,
while September paintings that do
not mature before cold weather will
produce the first spring cuttings.
Greens to be tender and flavor
some must make rapid growth.
Spinach thus is most desirable when
planted in a rich, moist soil that has
been well supplied with humus.
The Victory Garden fertilizer is
low in nitrogen g per cent? and
should be supplemented where prac-
ticable with animal or poultry
manures. A pound of the animal
manure to the foot of row is not too
much. Spade it in when preparing
the bed. Supplemental feeding with
liquid manure is very beneficial. If
the soil is at all acid, lime should
be added.
The seed may be sown in bed
or i'll rows. The latter is preferred
for ease in cultivation and fertiliza-
ton.
Cutting usually begins in from six
to eight weeks, and should be regu-
lated so that the first cuttings thin
the stand and promote the growth
OF remaining plants.
Spinach is comparatively free
from insect and disease pests. Under
no circumstances should it be
sprayed or busted with an arsenical
poison. If insects appear and control
