Fall Wheat SoWlnQ
Date Is Suggested
HsssisW Fly Dsmsss
Should Do Avoided

Macomb County farmers
planning to sow wheat this year
are advised to sow after Sept. Is
to avoid damage from Hessian
flies.
The so-called fly-fres date,
which varies throughout Michi-
gan, is based on the observation
of entomologists that in each To-
cality after . certain time of the
year. there is still time to es-
tablish stand of wheat before
winter but not time enough for
the adult Hessian flies to lay
eggs. The dates are based on lat
itude, altitude and nearness to
the Great Lakes.
y The adult flies lay eggs be-
tween the leaves of young wheat
plants. The insects pass the win
ter in the larvae or maggot stage
and obtain food by scraping the
plant tissue. This weakens the
stem and interferes with the
supply of nutrients necessary
for the development of the heat.
Injured plants lodge and show
withered heads. In severe in
festations, complete loss of the
crop may result.

GIs Were Termed Soft
but Won War the Hard Way

Bataan, the lost battle. de
cisively set right any precon'
ceived Japanese notion that the
United States soldier was soft
1t was the American Dunkeraue
without the possibility OF the
mass evacuation.
There was no referee to rule
out the dirty play, and the
American cheering section was
thousands of miles away. But
the out-numbered Americans
proved they could and would
stand up to the hard facts OF war.
In the Aleutians the Japanese
got a fresh inkling of tire tech
meal superiority which enabled
American airmen and naval
gunners to wage war despite the
worst fogs in the world. On At
tn American soldiers stumbled
through great snowdrifts on
frozen feet. without food for
long periods, to demonstrate
how soft" they were. The
battle was notable for the last
suicidal Japanese Banzai charge.

Virtually every Japanese had to
be killed. For the first time, the
Japanese government was forced
to capitalize on a defeat as prop
uganda to whip up the japanese
fighting spirit.
BROKE JAP BACK
Guadalcanal not only arrested
the advance of the japanese on
the path of conquest but ii also
broke the legend of Japanese in
vincibility. For the first time,
the Japanese high command was
compelled TO announce that its
soldiers had been unable to hold
ground they had seized.
In their long history the Unit
ed States Marines had written
many 4 brilliant page, but at
Tarawa they added chapter
which will never be forgotten.
Despite furious preliminary
naval and aerial bombardment,
the enemy's log bunker a few
yards from the beach had not
been destroyed. Marines who
got ashore were pinned down on
the exposed stretch OF Sandy
Beach, while others whose land
ing boats were wrecked on the
sharp coral reef were caught in
the surf by whitening fire
But Marine will did not break
in the face of the bloodiest cas-
ualties ever suffered by the
corps up TO that time. They
hung on, rallied and finally ov-
erran the island in rs hours of
killing.
Tarawa was pretty conclu-
sive demonstration TO the Japan
csc. From it the Americans

diers sent TO the island in the
latter stages to swell the total
number participating, Peleliu
probably would have been the
costliest ground in the Pacific in
proportion to numbers engaged.
As it was, ID out OF every 100
Americans who went ashore
were casualties.

emerged from the jungle and
atoll phase and here the Ameri-
cans first had to deal with large
numbers of Japanese civilians
who engaged in mass suicide to-
ward the end. Brutal cave-to-
cave warfare with flamethrow-
err, grenade and dynamite.
Leyte Island proved the de-
'cisive battle-ground of the Phil
ippines. Here the Pacific battle
most nearly approached large
scale maneuver. The general
ship which drew In Japanese re-

of the main island, Luzon and

The land battles in the Pacific

Casino and Anzio to the Efbe,
battles were fought on a large

From Buna and the Aleutians

American soldier and Marine had
endured every torment OF fog

every mile of the enemy wheth-
er in Jungle, on the atoll, in tine

or in the streets OF island cities.
He had countered every trick,
met fanaticsim with unbroken
will, and at the end the japanese
were compelled to recognize that
they were faced by giant, de-
tcrmined, implacable Yankee
who would not be denied.
From the standpoint OF the
spirit demonstrated to the Jap
anese. some of the most decisive
battles of the war therefore
were not those which won the
most important detectives in a
strategic sense.
Tokyo, the ultimate strategic
objective, did not have to Se

Bataan, Attu, Guadalcanal,

Japanese.

probably were fought by the
navy In what was predominately
an ocean war-Coral Sea. Mid

In Europe the battles Of HUI
