7,305,S50 Soldiers,
126,S59,OOO Tons Of
Goods Sent Overseas

The Army opened another chap
ter Of its war records yesterday to
disclose it had shipped 1906, $50
soldiers and 126,859,000 tons of sup
plies overseas during the 45-month
period which ended August 81.
1t disclosed also that 1,225, 900
soldiers had returned to this coun-
try by ship between We day and
August 81. Only $4,000 of them
from the Pacific.
These totals do not include the
shipments made by air of several
hundred thousand more persons and
tons of freight.
The number of soldiers sent over
seas was greater than the popula-
ton OF Australia. West Coast ports
alone embarked 2,451 900 troops,
equivalent to transporting the en-
tire population of Louisiana or Flor
ida over 5000 to 5000 miles to bases
scattered from New Zealand to
Japan.
The troops shipped to Pacific
theaters were accompanied by a.
286,000 tons of supplies necessary
for feeding, clothing, medical care
and fire power to destroy the
japanese
The buildup of troops and supplies
In the Pacific was slow, however,
while emphasis was given to the
European theater.
Atlantic ports shipped out 4687,-
$50 soldiers and 75,334,000 tons of
supplies. New York embarked three
fourths of the men and half the
supplies,
Gulf ports, chiefly New Orleans,
shipped out 1000 men and 7,239,-
900 tons of supplies, bound largely
for Panama, South and Central
American and Caribbean bases.
Although the number of men ship
ped overseas in this war was three
times that of the World War, the
supply tonnage increased IA times.
Army records showed that 100000
men and 1888 ,297 tons of supplies
were shipped overseas in the 20
months of American participation
In the last war.

Data on British Bid

The British expect to present their

There is room without friction for
both the American dollar area and
the British sterling area in the

Look for
Peach Borer

THIS is the time of year when
L. owners of peach trees
should search for signs of peach
borers. BY now the larvaS of
the moths have hatched and
the young worms are under the
bark of the trees. They are
localized in position, being
found anywhere from three to
four inches below the soil line
TO eight or 10 inches above.
Spraying or dusting will not con-
troll them. The way 10 kill the
insects is TO gas them.
Trees may first be searched
for borerS, or. if this presents
too much in the way OF diff
Guilty, then all peach trees may
be treated as if they had borers
on them (which they probably
h3Ve).
Excluding trees that have
been set out for less than three
years, since these are too young
for treatment, all grass or

should be removed. Then paradi-
chlorobenzene ystalS are
placed in a ring around the
trunk, anywhere from one TO
two inches away from it (but
not more than two or less than
one inch).
The amount Of the chemical
to be used varies with the age
of the trees to be treated. Fig
ure on half an ounce for a.
year-old tree, three-quarters OF

''Too much phosphorus causes
tobacco to ripen too fast and 1t
does not have time to mature prop
erly and fill out; but too much
nitrogen grows tobacco with a big
frame, larger fibers, and poor
color,' asserted Moss.
He recommended that more
phosphorus be used on heavier,
more fertile soils than on those
which are sandy and not so fer
tile. If properly mixed with the
soil so as not to injure the stand,
potash is almost always profit
able" and as much as 20 pounds
of magnesium to the acre may be
used on all bright tobacco land.
Moss said that cit would seem
wise" for all fertilizer manufac-
turers to put as much as two per
cent magnesia in tobacco fertiliz-
ers. The calcium and sulphur are
usually supplied in sufficient guam
titles for all practical purposes for
the SupefpnOSpnate. Chlorine
should be restricted to a maximum
of three per cent, with two per
cent sufficient in most cases. This
element should always be used
with caution.
The following were Moss's gen.
eral recommendation for "a good

The Tar Heel Gardener
By JOHN H. HARRISS
N. G. State College

Good carrots, for most people,
especially in the eastern part Of the
State, are hard to grow. I do not
know the exact answer, but I be-
lieve the following cultural prac-
tees will prove helpful.
Carrots should be planted in
loose, deep soil. If necessary a
small bed could be especially pre-
pared by adding sand and woods
mold, or compost to the existing
soil. The seed bed should be pull
verified until it is almost as fine
as ashes. Then, after applying the
fertilizer and mixing it thorough
ly with the soil, a shallow furrow
is opened and a wheel or the hoe
handle used to smooth the soil in
the bottom of the furrow. The seed
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-03-12

should be sown thickly in this fur
row and barely covered with soil
and then the soil packed gently
with the back Of a rake.
The use of fresh manure less than
six months ahead of planting time
will increase splitting and cause
abnormal formation of the carrot.
A complete fertilizer such as SIS
should be applied at planting time,
using 8 to 5 quarts to a 100-ft. row.
The main crop of carrots should
be planted in early March. This
will allow ample time for the car
rot to develop during cool weather
and while there is plenty Of moist
ure in the soil. If dry, hot weather
comes before the carrot puts on
most of its growth, the result will
be woody, strong tasting carrot.

there do things and they move

woodland products, Strawberries
and tobacco have furnished the
main income sources. But, make
no mistake, the future will tell a
brave tale of balanced farming,
Of livestock, of pastures, and a
fine rural life.
For instance, J. P. Quinerly,
the assistant farm agent. tells
about J. w. Christensen OF Lees

of cropland, and double-crops most

machinery and harvests with cat

hogs and 70 head of cattle grazing

soybeans. If you have any hogs to

them from you and will run them
through his fields until they are
ready for the market and will
make money on the deal. In one
Of his fields, the rows are a

J. w. Soles is regarded as the
grape champion of Columbus.
From one acre of scuppernong
vines, he sold over $1,000 worth
Of grapes last year. This winter
he set out another acre of the
delicious grapes with plants that
he rooted himself. Tobacco is still
his main money crop, however,
and will be as long as the present

to have a good income because he
has two daughters in college and
