Last of three dispatches on GI Joe in Greenland.)
By REUEE s. MOORE United Press stan Correspondent

EVIL, Greenland, Dec. 14.-(UP) Five Red Cros< girls at .nis U. g. Army base in southern Greenland have collected probably a record number of proposals for marriage.
 They have been here a few months and each one has had . large quota of proposals Besides the IS nurses at the station hospi- tai, the Red Cross girls are the only women here and the only women some of the old timer G1's have seen in more than a year.
 We have to treat the soldiers all alike and show no favorites or we simply couldn't get along" Olga Nordloff (125 Cordova St., San Francisco, Cal, said
 "AS far as the proposals are concerned we realize the boys are lonely and most of them would feel differently back in the tSates"
 Dance Rate: 15O to 5
 There have been seven Red Cross girls here since the first four came in January of this year. Three more came in April. Five are now left. Still here, besides Miss Nord- loff. are Thelma Case. Logan, Ia.; Martha Stokes, Calumet City. H.; Martha Franklin, San Francisco, and Emily Clime, Boston.
 Before they came entertainment was provided entirely by Army Special Service personnel. The girls established the Red Cross club, which includes reading and recreation rooms They sponsor competitions in crafts, arts and games. Latest equipment to arrive was some power woodworking tools, saws and lathes, which are proving popular.
 Three of the girls run the club. while two work with hospital pa- tients. Each week the girls give a dance for one military unit, each organization taking it's turn.
 Sometimes at a single dance there are 15O men for us five girls" Miss Nordlof said. They all jit- ter-bug. We also dance more or less on demand when we can at the club"

The "PlimsoIP' Mark

Back in the 10Th century, shipping
in British bottoms was not only
highly competitive but also profit
able. Competition, however, encour-
aged the ship owners to overload
their ships so seriously that ship
losses were extremely highland as
the losses increased, it became in
creasingly difficult to secure sea-
men.
When the situation reached crit
ical stage, it was evident that the
only cure was legislation. Samuel
Plimsoll proposed to Parliament a
merchant marine act in 1876 which
limited the draft to which ships
could be loaded. This maximum
water line was indicated by pre-
scribed symbol which came to be
known as the "Plimsoll'' mark.
The mark is located by measuring
down a prescribed distance from a
point on the main deckline and in
dicates the amount of freeboard
required for safety.

Feed Fruit Trees

Early spring is an excellent time
to feed fruit trees. Use a complete
balanced plant food.
Fruit trees in the lawn may be
fed in the same way as ornamental
foliage trees-that is, by means of
a series of holes about inches in
diameter, IL to IS inches deep,
placed in a zigzag fashion slightly
inside and outside the branch
spread. Fill holes with mixture of
half plant food and half soil. Then
water. In figuring the requirements
of a tree, allow three pounds of plant
food to each inch of diameter Cor
one pound for each inch of circum-
ference) of the trunk, measuring
four feet above the ground.
Where trees are surrounded by
cultivated soil, surface application
of plant food is satisfactory. Some
gardeners broadcast the plant food
under the entire branch spread.

Says Eggs or Chicks
Best Blood for Flocks
Signal Corps Photo

Use Matching eggs or baby chicks
to introduce new blood into breed
ing flock with least danger of intro
ducing disease, says Prof. J. H.
Bruclner of the New York State
College of Agriculture.
Adult birds are the most danger
Gus to bring in, as they may appear
healthy, yet carry colds, cholera,
and other diseases that cause much
damage on poultry farms. If birds
and not eggs are brought into a
breeding establishment, few home
farm birds should be put with the
new arrivals in an isolated pen for a
few weeks, and watched to see if
all stay healthy.
Half-grown range stock is less
dangerous than adult birds, and
baby chicks are still better. The
breeder should make sure he buys
from a farm with disease-free birds,
pullorum free if his own birds are
tested.
In buying eggs or chicks for
breeding stock, says Professor
Bruckner, it is well to buy more
than the number needed, so only
the best will be kept for mixing with
the home farm breeding birds.

TIRES

Maryland motorists recently made
eligible by revisions to OPA's tire ra-
tioning regulations for new, used or
recapped tires, were warned by OPA
Rationing Officials not to expect i'm
mediate issuance of tire certificates
by local War Price and Rationing
Boards upon filing their applications
at the Board. can unusually large
number of applications from new
eligibles' both for new and for used
tires are flooding the Boards through
out the State" said j. William Egg
gleston, State Rationing Officer
MAY quotas for new tires for which
all "B" and &C" gasoline ration hold
ers are now eligible, have been some
what increased, however they are
not sufficient to cover the unusually
large number of 'B" and sc" motor
lists who are now applying for the
first time for new tires Mr.. Eggles-
ton pointed out that although Grade
III tires for which 'A' book holders
are now eligible, are not restricted
by quotas, tire inspection stations
have been requested not to inspect
the trees of ga" card holders unless
they have Grade Ill tires to sell, and
Boards are not issuing Grade III tire
certificates unless they have been as
sured that Grade III tires are avail
able.
Until this tremendous group of
new eligibles" can be gradually alb
sorbed, Boards will have to issue
certificates first to those whose
needs are most essential. Other appli-
cations will remain filed at the Board
and tire certificates will be issued
just as soon as possible.

Rabbit Foods

Hit and miss feeding methods
won't do in rabbitkeeping. 1t can
be said generally that good quality
hays alfalfa, clover, soybean,
sweet clover, and timothy-are the
roughages needed, and must be sup
plemented more or less with grain
foods-rolled barley, rolled oats, and
even wheat and the grain sorghums.
Cracked corn is relished. Feeding
expensive grain foods and high
priced hay in wartime is not al
together practical, however.
The facts are that backyard rab-
bitkeepers have a very wide range
in good feeding practice if care is
taken to supplement the hay and
grain rations with many items of
table scraps, garden wastage, gar
den crops and roadside weeds, which
are entirely acceptable as rabbit
foods provided they are sweet, clean
and palatable.

Domestic Rabbits Spend
Entire Life in Hutches

The domestic rabbit spends its en-
tire life cycle in an individual COM
partment called a hutch. Outdoor
hutches must have solid backs and
sides, and good roof as protec-
ton against rain, storm and snow.
Indoor hutches, as in the garage,
barn, or outbuilding, may have wire
mesh floors of five-eighths inch
mesh hardware cloth, allowing the
droppings to fall to the floor. This
type is usually preferred by pro-
gressive rabbitmen, since they are
self-cleaning, cooler in summer,
and great aid to disease preven-
ton.
The floor space in hutches for
breeding does should be 10 to II
square feet-4 feet long and "a
to 80 inches deep. Hutch compart-
ments for each doe range in height
from 10 to "a inches. Outdoor
hutches usually have solid floors.
In such case, straw or peat moss
bedding is used, and each compart-
ment must be cleaned at least
twice weekly. If scrap lumber is
used when possible, the cost Of
hutches should not exceed $500 for
each breeding doe, and are easily
built by any saw and hammer car
penter.

GIRLS BETTER THAN BOYS AT
FARM WORK

Farmers prefer girls to boys when
it comes to hiring inexperienced
farm help.
That was the consensus of farm
ers intrviewed by the Department of
Rural Sociology at Cornell Univer-
sity, NJ Y. They had all used help
from Is youth camps operated last
summer to relieve the farm labor
shortage.
The farmers said the girls were
more cheerful workers, were less in
clined to play while at work were
more preserving, and did not tire as
easily, especially in the late after
Moons. The older girls were especial
ly preferred, as they were more SER
ious, less easily fatigued, and main
tanned an interest in their work.
Testimony of farmers indicated
that the youths were successful as
farm workers. Only one out of each
four of the youth workers were boys,
practically all under 10 years of age.

Straw and Stubble

The burning of straw and stubble
actually robs the soil of needed and
necessary stability and fertility.
The practice gives the land an ideal
send-off for a winter of washing
and outlying because the sttlbble is
too heavy to be readily incorpor-
ated into the soil, or the real value
of it as a soil binder and fertilizer
is not appreciated.
You may have learned by expe-
rience that in blowing under large
amounts of straw, particularly in
areas where rainfall is low, that the
ground is apt to dry out and a re-
duction in yield results.
Someone may try to tell you that
just as much fertility is returned
through the ashes as through the
unburned stubble. There is a differ
ence though-because one ton of
ordinary straw contains about 10
pounds of nitrogen, 21a pounds of
phosphoric acid and nearly Is
pounds of potash. In addition to
this, about 1850 pounds of actual
organic material is contained in
each ton. Now, if you burn the
straw, you destroy all of the nitro
gen and all of the organic material.
This just goes up in smoke and is
lost. The 21s pounds of phosphoric
acid and Is pounds of potash will
remain in the ashes and are re-
turned to the soil.

Brazil Fosters Poultry
Improvement Program

4 The Brazilian-American Food
Commission is fostering the devel-
opment of the poultry industry in
northern Brazil to meet war-ex-
panded demand in that area for
meat and eggs by armed forces and
workers on strategic projects. The
poultry program supplements in
creased production of fruits and
vegetables to reduce the depend
ence of the area upon imported food
stuffs.
Nineteen poultry units have been
established in five northern states
of Brazil. Others are being added.
These units soon will have more
than $4,000 birds, according to re-
ports received by the Office of the
Coordinator of Inter-American At
fairs.
Poultry specialists from the
United States are working with
Brazilians in the embarrassing
projects as part of cooperative
arrangement between Brazil and
the United States for expansion of
food output in the strategic northern
areas. New poultry units are being
stocked with improved strains from
breeding stocks established from
breeds largely imported from the
United States and adapted to Bra
lillian conditions. Stock from these
new units will be available for dis
tribution to poultry raisers who wish
to improve the quality of their
f1ocks.
