Bomb Tempo Increased

Manila, July 25- (UP) Gen. George c. Kenney said today that Allied air power in the Pacific is so great that after the lombard ment in future landing operations the troops will walk ashore virtual ly without opposition. Kenney commander of Far East ern Air Forces, said that in the very near future the Allies will be able to drop 5000 tons of bombs in a single raid on any given target Ill Japanese territory. He said Allied combat planes in the Pacific now. number 5000, and will reach 10000 after redeployment is completed.
 DemOnlish Obstacles
 Before we go in any place. " Kenney said - correspondents at- tending his press conference noted that "any place" included Japan There won't be bridge or decent foot road left.
 We expect our troops will go ashore anywhere with almost total lack of opposition as they walk up the beaches.
 If you tell man that he'd bet ter look out because in two hours he's going to have an earthquake, there isn't much he can do about it. And the TINT tied in those bombs is an earthquake"

skimp on the mulching material; if the weeds once get start through the mulch you will be in for the tedious job of wedding again. To prevent this, it will take about three inches of grass clippings or strawy manure, two inches of peatmoss, or about six inches of straw or hay.
 Tomatoes, potatoes, corn straw berries, melons, squash, pumpkins and gourds will please you with a better harvest if you favor them with mulch. Tests made at eX- pertinent stations indicate that mulching makes more fertilizer available to the plants and keeps the soil from becoming excessive ly hot during the heated part of the day. Claim is made that mulch- ing will prevent tomatoes from cracking. because 1t makes for a uniform soil condition.
 Clean straw spread between strawberry rows performs the addi- tional function of keeping the ripening berries off the ground, and makes plants less liable to mildew or mold.
 It must be remembered that mulch should not be applied until after the soil about the plants has been cultivated and fertilized, and, if dry, watered well.
 Victor Tiedjens. in his excellent gardeners guide. 'The Vegetable Encyclopedia" says that the gar- dener who mulches can take Q two- week vacation and, upon his re- turn, will find few weeds and ex- eellent vegetables. Too many gaFs denera get only a wornls eye-vlew of thelr garden, because they spend @ mueh lImo on lholr hands and 4nzSn uEfI|H1 ElH n1 #n1Nf.

 State Food Administrator Henry B. Mosle told 8 meeting of 70 Connecticut and New York dealers yesterday that Washington officials wont stand for such a condition much longer"
