In some catastrophe chapter OF

cific leaving the hundreds Of dots

For scattered over these dots

chains and colonies of small is
lands.

brace but $50 square miles, an
average of little more than half
an acre to the island.
In general, the larger islands
are of volcanic origin, the smaller
ones are atolls built up by the
countless carcasses of coral set
ting on the ocean floor. .
The Marshalls, for example, are
1
characteristic atolls-small, never
rising more than a few feet above
sea level, and surrounded by coral
reefs. -.
In the warm, moist, tropical
climate there are luxuriant jun
giles, and clear, fresh water
streams. Lagoons that make safe
anchorages are abundant.
The larger islands, such as
Guam in the Marianas, and Palau
in the Carolines, are fertile and
can support large populations.
They produce sugar. coffee. fruits,
fish, vegetables, timber, phosphate
and copra.
To the north of these are the.

The Tar
Heel
Gardener.
By John H. Harris
N. C. State College

The tomato is the most widely
grown vegetable in the home gar
den Its popularity is probably due
to it's productivity plus the fact
that it is easy to cultivate and has
an agreeable taste. It is ~-~st
fortunate that it is also an &C.,
lent food, being high in vitamin
and mineral content.
Tomatoes can be grown on most
soils provided they are free of
wilt. There are two kinds of willis;
the fusarium wilt and bacterial
wilt. The presence of either of
these willis makes it almost i'm
possible to grow tomatoes. Only
varieties that are resistant to flu
sarium wilt such as Marglobe,
Pritchard, and Rutgers should be
used. There is no control for the
bacterial wilt, and all tomatoes are
subject to its attack. The only way
to avoid losses from this wilt is
to make paintings in soil free OF
the disease.
Tomatoes should be planted in
about 4 #. rows, 3 feet apart in
the row, as soon as danger of
frost is over. The plants should be
set in a rather deep trench and
the soil gradually filled in around
the plant as the plant grows. Well
rotted manure mixed with the soil
will help hold moisture and also
furnish plant nutrients for the
plant. In addition to manure.
complete fertilizer such as SIS or
5-10-5 may be used at the rate of
two to three quarts to a 5O-foot
row. This fertilizer may also be
applied by using or tablespoon
fuls to each individual plant. In
either case, the fertilizer should
be placed 3 inches below the sur
face of the soil and thoroughly
mixed with the soil

History

First of these islands to see the
white man were the Marianas,
found by the intrepid Ferdinand
Magellan, driving his scurvy
ridden Spanish crew across the
vast Pacific wastes in 1921
The Portuguese, racing their
Spanish rivals, found the Caro-
lines five years later and the navi-
gator Alvaro de Saavedra came
across the Marshalls in 1929.
Last group to lift above the
oceans horizon ahead Of the in
quisitive prov of an explorer
vessel were the Bonins, dis
covered by Ogasawara Sadayori, a
japanese, in 1893.
Spain annexed all but the Bon
ms in 1886, dispersed or slaugh-
tered the brown natives.
Guam, probably the first island
touched by Magellan had good
port needed for the galleons ply
ing between Central America and
the Philippines.
The Spaniards seemed little in

rich natural resources lured Span.

natives ruthlessly.
A dying Spanish empire, beaten
by the United States. coded the
Carolines, Marshalls and all but
Guam in the Marianas to Germa-
ny for 100000 pounds in 1899
Guam fell to the United States.
Industrious Germans developed
the islands economically, but were
too busy in Europe to defend them
in World War I and the japanese
invaded.
Japan completed the envelop.

pire with the capture of Guam
shortly after Pearl Harbor
The uninhabited Bonins first
were claimed by the British, who
sent small colony from the Ha
waiian islands early in the last
century. But Japan annexed them
in 1877.
