Protect Peppers and Tomatoes in
Victory Garden
BY DEAN HALLIDAY

cations for tomatoes, water thor
oughly in dry weather, or mulch
the plants with straw, peatmoss
or grass clippings.
Many of the diseases attacking
peppers are the same or very sim
liar to those attacking tomatoes
and the control measures are es-
sentially the same. Seed treat
ment, seeded sterilization and
crop rotation are the sanitation
measures which should be consid-
cred in the safeguarding of pep
pers.
Black rot of peppers, illustrat-
ed, results in soft, depressed dis
figuring areas on the fruit. Since
sunburnt pepper fruits are most
seriously affected by rot the
plants foliage should be kept
healthy so it in turn can aid In
protecting the fruits.

THE VICTORY gardener is en-
titled to feel righteous indigna-
ton if after culturing a crop Of
tomatoes or peppers or both until
the fruits are almost ready for
harvest he suddenly finds them
dishgured and made unfit for eat
ing by rot.
In the case Of tomatoes this rot
appears as a water-soaked area
on the blossom-end of the toma-
toes, and is known as blossom
end rot. A tomato afflicted with
blossom-end rot is Illustrated in
the accompanying Garden-Graph.
The affected area later turns
brown or black and shrivels.
Blossom-end rot is caused by
the breakdown of cells due to an
uneven supply of water To pre-
vent its appearance avoid dry To-

BIO Fascist
 SOIOns To Go Before Court

Rome. Aug. B-iUPD--A total of BIO Italian senators were listed to- day for prosecution before a newly created high court on charges of being implicated in Fascist crimes.
 The list. which left only no sen- ato'S uniInplicated was submitted to the court by Count Carlo 6forza, high commissioner for punishment of Fascist crimes. He emphasized that those named would be tried under a clause in a recent decree which prescribes punishment rath- CT than merely qualification.
 The clause affects members Of legislative or institutional assemblies which by their votes or acts con- tTibuted to the maintenance of the Fascist regime or aided in Italys narticipafi0n iD the war.
 Although the high court only can remove a guilty defendant from of- ficisi position, the offender still would be liable to trial by an Or- dtnary criminal court.
 While the Fascist chamber eoy- porataons have been abolished by the boDomI government, a similar course ip the ease Of the Senate gas not expedieDt because senators nominally are appointed by the king and the question Of that bodys le- salty could not be taken up until fhe whole Dp0parcbiaI situation comes under consideration.
 AS . result, fOrza and his aides decided to bring individual senators to trial to fix their responsibility foT ItaDy's political history in the past 20 years.

 Barkley said he made no attempt to canvass the Senate membership on the two bills but believed the chances are good that the Senate viii deal with both reconversion and unemployment compensation in the same bill" The Murray-Risgore bill does both. The George bill does not.
