GERMANS RUSHING
men INTO RUSSIA
Italian And Norwegian
Garrisons Depleted
By Move

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 81. 49, G -
Alarmed over the overwhelming
menace Of the conquering Red
armies, the Germans are rushing
troop reinforcements to the Rus
sian front from Italy and Norway
and are intensifying work on new
Notifications in a defense line IN
Poland, Swiss reports to Swedish
newspapers said today.
At least ten German divisions
are being transported from Genoa
via Lyon, France, to the Russian
Front, said a dispatch from the
Swiss newspaper Tribune de Gen
eve.
This reported troop movement
may weaken the Germans prepa-
rations for an eventual stand
against Allied armies in northern
Italy.
Saboteurs are aware Of the move
ment and are hampering transport
by blasting railway lines, the
Swiss report added.
The American Liberator and
Flying Fortress raid on Genoa
yesterday and the day before may
have been directed against con-
centrations of troops awaiting
transport.
At the same time the Free Dan
ish press service said $4,000 Ger
man soldiers with full equipment
passed through Denmark en- route
from Norway to bolster eastern
front lines.
1t added new Notifications are
being built by the Germans along
the Bug river in Poland which
generally follows the line OF the
German-Russian demarcation laid
out following the 1889 conquest OF
Poland. Only Poles and Jews are
working on these Notifications, it
was said.
A dispatch from the Swiss news
paper Baseler Zeitung said Turkish
military authorities expressed be-
lief that the Germans East Wall
will be unable to block the Rus
san advance.
Other reports reaching reliable
Swedish informants said the Rus
slams are preparing to keep up
their offensive, not giving the Ger
mans time to make a stand. Rus
STA was said to have at least 5,
500, 900 men in reserve and train
ing a winter army" of 2,0oo,ooc
men in elite schools in the north
of Russia for a continued offensive.

award in the All garden contest
for North Carolina in 1943, Fran
ces S. MacGregor. assistant All
leader for the State college ex-
tension service, announced here
Saturday.
"Marceline will receive $25

FARMER GROWS
new FEED CROP
Mangels, Or Stock Beets,
Found To Be Good
For Livestock

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Oct 31-Charlie Clark OF Watauga
county has produced a new feed
crop for his cows during the COM
ing winter and the yield was more
than 10 tons per acre, in spite of
the dry weather, reports Assistant
County Agent L. E. Tuckwiller to
the State college extension SER
vice.
The new crop is Mangels, or
stock beets, and Clark says that
his dairy cows like the new feed
crop so well that he is recon-
mending it to his neighbors who
carry few milk cows through
the winter.
Clark planted an experimental
plot of the stock beets last year
and they produced so well that
he planted a whole field to the
crop this year. Next year he plans
to plant full acreage to take
care of all of his cows. .
Tuckwiller also reports that
Walter Parsons of the Stoney Fork
section checked the results from
the application of 100 pounds OF
ammonium nitrate per acre on
his corn. The check plot without
fertilizer yielded about 20 bushels
per acre while the. corn which
was top-dressed with the ammon-
ium nitrate yielded approximate
ly As bushels per acre.

BROTHERS UTILIZE.
TERRACED GROUND
Trio Finds Crop Rotation
And Fertilization
Profitable

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Oct. 31-Terracing, crop rotation,
careful fertilization, and the plow-
ing under of leguminous cover
crops have enabled Wade Vanoy
and his two brothers, Charlie and
Miles, Of Yadkin county to pro-
duce 80 bushels of corn per acre
where they used to produce ~
bushels, says C. c. Nolan, con-
servationist of the Tri-Creek Soil
Conservation district, in a report
to the State college extension SER
vice.
The Vanoys plant corn the first
year, rye the second year, and
lespedeza the third year. In adj
dition to high corn yields, they
are producing about 20 bushels
of rye per acre, 5000 pounds oil
clean lespedeza seed from first
year lespedeza, and $500 pounds
from second year lespedeza.
All crop .resldues are turned
back into the soil. Sufficient lime
and fertilizes are used to replace
the plant foods taken out of the
land by the growing crops.
Not only has the plant food in
the soil been built up by this
system of rotation but the mois-
ture holding capacity has also
been greatly improved. AFTER a
rain we have to wait a day or
two longer than most OF our
neighbors before we can plow
corn. You see, SO much of the
rainfall soaks into the soil, that
the field stays wet longer" Miles
Vanoy says.
''The good soil conservation
practices of the Vanoys has pre-
vented washing and by putting
more into the soil than they were
taking from it exceptional in
creases in yields have been OBJ
tained," Nolan points out.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 31.-tR-
Cotton futures were irregular and
lower here during the past week
with the near months stronger
than the distant. Closing prices
Saturday were .35 to $1.35 bale
below the close Of the previous
week.
There was a moderate amount
of selling of the distant months
on favorable war news. The near
months were supported by mill
price fixing and the large move
ment into the government loan.
Some selling was attributed to
the statement by President Roos-
evelt that the Moscow conference
between the representatives of the
three great Allied powers had
been an unqualified success and
persistent claims that German
morale at home was beginning to
crack.
London reports that the Ger
mans were putting out peace feel
ers in Rome and were using pres
sure on the Vatican to help ar
range a negotiable peace which
would get around the Anglo-Am-
erican demands for unconditional
surrender caused only a small
amount of selling, probably be-
cause OF the universal conviction
that the Allies would stand firm
on their demands.

reau day prospects as the statis-

obliteration of Germany's war
making capacity is possible by air
attack alone.
They do believe-and the ground
generals agree-that continuation
on mounting scale of the true
air offensive that is at last we'll
started can so wreck and disrupt
tie Nazi war machine that the
invasion will cost at least 50 per
cent fewer casualties than if it
were started prior to this culmina-
ton of air attack.
Nevertheless, in the present sit
uation in Europe, it is not the sta
tue of the aerial offensive, but the
stupendous supply and staging
problem that is the limiting factor.
A vast number of landing bar
ges and shallow draft landing ships
is required, not only to transport
the soldiers in an amphibious as
sault, but to supply them after
they have landed. Even in Italy,
the supply of Allied armies will
continue dependent to large ex-
tent on such craft, until the port
of Naples is disable for deep-draft
cargo ships.
These aspects of the war against
Germany were made clear in Off
cial quarters without in any way
minimizing the results of aerial
operations out of Britain. On the
contrary, the air attacks are ere.

Cd Giving the Russians air
superiority on their front by fore

Russia in the north by destroying
the concentrations of supplies and
shipping at Rostock and Lubbock.
60 Contributing to the Russian

eucing German air strength, but
by damaging Ruhr production and
disrupting German rail and other

pull some of their ground forces,
perhaps 20 or more divisions, from
the Russian front, some of them
being sent to Italy.
In Italy, a savage German coun-
ter-offensive is regarded as quite

ately to precent the whpsaw bomb
ing of Germany and Central Eu-
rope that will follow the establish
ment of Allied bomber bases in

COWS NEED FEED
FOR MILK OUTPUT
Animals Should Be Taken
From Pastures Now
To Stop Decrease

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Oct. 31-Dairy cows should BE
taken from pastures in most Sec
tons and put on feed to prevent
drop in milk production and the
young animals also should be put
on feed before they begin to lose
weight, says A. c. Kinney. dairy
specialist of the State college ex-
tension service.
animals will get thin at this
period of the year when pastures
are failing and it will take much
longer and more feed to get them
back into proper condition once
this happens. If milk production
drops because of poor feeding,
dairy animals cannot be brought
back into full production" Kinney
points out.
Experience shows that it is all
right to place beef animals on
maintenance ration, but dairy
cows must be kept on full feed
with plenty OF good roughage and
grain.
when animals are allowed to
get thin, they are much more
likely to suffer from lice. Dairy
animals should be kept vigorous
and completely. comfortable if
they are to produce a maximum
flow Of milk" according to the
dairy specialist.
He calls attention to the fat
that many North Carolina dairy
menmen underfeed their cows and
emphasizes that the COW should
receive all the good hay she will
eat without wasting any and
grain ration in proportion to the
amount of milk she is producing"

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
BY John II. Harris
N. C. State College

There is still work to be done
in the fall or winter garden such
as fertilizing, cultivating, and
even planting some vegetables in
the eastern part of the state. A
few days ago I observed a good
gardener cultivating and fertiliz-
ing his garden as if it were April
or May. l asked him what he
was planting, and he replied,
Nothing, have already COM
pleted my fall planting" He then
went on to explain that he was
cultivating his winter vegetables
which included turnips, mustard,
kale, spinach, cabbage, collards,
beets, carrots, onions, chard, let
tuce, radish and parsley.
I asked him why he was cult
waiting since there was no grass.
Ills reply was that cultivation
would allow more air to enter
the soil and, too, he had applied
a side dressing of fertilizer and
was working it into the soil. Fall
vegetables, especially leafy kinds,
need to grow fast" he explained.
The formula he used was from
" to pint of nitrate of soda to
a 100 #. row or from 2 to pints
of garden fertilizer to a 100 #.
row. He had applied this ferti-
lizer in hands on both sides of
the row about 2 inches from the
plants. His last suggestion was
that vegetables spaced the proper
distance apart would grow faster,
would be harder, and would stand
colder weather than would those
planted too close together.
