 The three following methods as. sist in providing adequate drainage:
 Gl Drainage dltches. l2l Sand and shell and l8) raised beds. In cooperating sand and shell into the garden plot makes the soil lighter and more porous and Tn raised beds the rain washing down through the soil actually carries air to the plant roots and the plant roots can run 10 the edge of the bed where more air is available.
 In cultivating soil for planting. it should be remembered packing it down in the beds cuts off the air supply. Leave the soil light and fluffy.
 Adding humus to the garden plot will also aid in providing drainage. Cow or horse manure Gold rather than fresh), used one pound to the square foot. is an excellent humus. as is peat moss which should be used in the proportion of one quarter peat in the whole soil mixture. Sea weed is also good as humus. Any

''ROmmel'S Reception Line" To Stop Allied Invasion
 German People Believe

stop him after he has landed" Germany's IS econd Allan tic Wall with much accent upon it's alleged invincibnity. has been top line news in Germany newspapers ever since the last of April.
 Every German appeared to be convinced that 1t is on the "Rommel Reception Line" that the Allies would be stopped.
 But they're nevertheless looking ahead to the future by saying that even if by some diabolical perver- sion of fate" the Allies should smash through Atlantic Wall No. 2. they still have the reversed once famous "Maginot Line" and the or iginaI "Sfegfried Line" facing them as major headaches.
 No German l have seen appears to be seriously worried about these D possibilities. To them, Reichsfuehr- CT Adolf Hitler is still tantamount to the Divine and until shown otherwise. they think Hitler knows the answer.
 Germany's crack air, naval and military strategists. in articles an alyzing the Allied chances of sue cess, have declared that they must secure at least two good ports, such as Le Hayre and Cherbourg, within two weeks after the initial assault, or their attack is doomed to failure.
 These same strategists said that within two weeks after the invasion starts, the answer will begin to crystalize as to whether the Allies can smash Germany's military power, or will crash against an ''un- breakable" line of steel and be stalemated, as at Casino, in Italy.
 And if the latter should happen, the Nazi' High Command believes that the worst that could possibly happen to Germany would be to emerge with a negotiated peace and that, in a Germans opinion, would be tantamount to victory.

Garden Help
By v. B. ITedl CARTER

It is well for a gardener to re- member that soil actually is mere ly an aggregate that will hold a plant in place and that has suffi- cient plant nutrients to feed the plant The black, rich looking earth that so many people believe is necessary in order to have a sue eessful garden is really not essen tial. Sand or even shale-given proper drainage and fertilizing - will grow healthy plants in South eastern Alaska
 Drainage
 By far the most imOrtant factor in preparation of ground for plant lag in this area is providing ade- quate drainage. Proper drainage allows air to get into the soil and sWeeten it. Air will actually cor rect the cause of soil sourness which, incidentally. no amount of lime will do.
 Plant roots simply cannot grow or develop in muddy soil and a sound root growth is important in any section of the country, but par

The world may know within a very short time just exactly how long the war in Europe may last.
 For Germany's High Command says the supreme test will come when the Allied armies hit the "Rommel Reception Line"
 That's the name given to the great bastion upon which Nazi Ger many bases her hope of repulsing or holding the Allied invaders.
 It's the Second Atlantic Wall"
 AS got the picture from Ger mans and the German press while in a German prison camp, this is a powerful chain of command forts stretching from Ghent in Belgium to Rennes, due south of Cherbourg. This was the area in which the the Germans expected attack, but at Rennes the line presumably con meets with Britanny peninsula de- lenses.
 I cannot say positively that it was not propaganda, although it did not fit the usual pattern of cam paigns to boost home morale or con fuse the Allies, but here is how the Germans described the line:
 It is composed of vast under ground. heavily fortified defenses, bristling with thousands of heavy caliber guns and mazes of anti-tank traps.
 The line at no point is less than 50 miles and no more than 60 miles inland from the Atlantic coast.
 It runs from Ghent to Arras, BeauYais, thence slightly west of Paris along the Seine river, thence southward to Argenton and finally Rennes as the southernmost end.
 A few weeks before the Allies stormed the fortress of Europe" General Field Marshal Erwin Rom mel thoroughly inspected the "sec- ond Atlantic wall"
 He told German newspapermen:
 Here the enemy shall not pass.
 This will be the supreme and crucial test. Every one of these pos itions must be and will be defend ed to the last man.
 Rommel, ace master of defense for Nazi Germany and nicknamed "the desert fox" because of his bril- liant exploits in --orth Africa, is supported in this view by Western Commander General Field Marshal Von Rundstedt.
 There is little question but what one of the biggest showdowns and the first real test of power will come when the Allies smash against this line.
 It's Germany's knock down and drag out" barrier.
 Even Reichminister for Propa- ganda Dr. Paul Josef Goebbels. writing in his newspaper, Das Reich last month, finally admitted that we cannot stop the enemy from landing but We can and we will
