Since War Ration Book Five,

i'm period.

THE TAR HEEL
GARDENER
By JOHN H. HARRIS,
N. G. state College

If you would like to have a heavy
crop of large strawberries next
spring, don't allow the patch or
field to grow up in weeds. Some
home gardeners allow this to hap
pen and also allow the plants to be-
come matted. which results in poor
production.
The main idea in cultivating straw
berries is to keep out all grass ana
weeds and to keep the plants from
becoming too thick in the bed or
row.. In my garden, | have found
it is much easier to keep grass out
of my berries when they are IN a
single row, with at least enough
space between plants to allow Tor a

Recent Conscripts

The majority Of these prisoners were recent conscripts, starting mil itary training in 1s43, although they are somewhat elder than the usual rew draftees. Their training was
 kimpy and their battle experience jmited. For the most part they were army drudges who hacked through jungles or dragged guns to mountain peaks in the ant-like labor by which the Japanese commanders consolidated their positions.
 Some hoped to be captured to es- cape swaggering, brutal officers; others were too tired and ill to care. Most were incapable of fighting back wkan captured.

SIGNIFICANT DATA ISSUED
 ON PATENTS
Alien Properly Custodian Announces Publiea-
 lion of Volumes

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Alien Property Custodian James E, Mark ram announces the publication of five volumes of abstracts of me- chanical, electrical and ncn-chemi- cal patents seized from eriefny sliens and nationals of occupied countries.
 The complete publication, con taining abstracts of about 37,000 patents, consists of four 1000 page 'olumes The patents, two-thirs!s of which were granted to Germans, include such broadly diversified fields as aeronautics, brakes cleo tric lamps and heating, electric furnaces, foods and beverages, in 'ernal combustion engines, ma dnine elements, metal working of sll types, motors, printing, elec- tronics, and refrigeration.
 Patents are also to be found on kitchen and table articles, sewing machines, signals an dindicators, machines, signals and indicators, spring devices, telephony and tele- grapiiy, textiles, tools, valves, wash ing.
 The abstracts consist of the in- enters claim to the patent and a reproduction of the drawing as published in the Official Gazette of the U. S. Patent Office. They are grouped according to the classified ton system used by the Patent Office The material is indexeu to facilitate search for significant data.
 The complete set of mechanical, electrical and non-chemical ab- stracts may be purchased for $25 from the Office of Alien Property Custodian, Chicago 3 Illinois. That office will also supply separate sections or classes of these abstracts at proportional prices. An index ard Guide, showing these prices, can be obtained free cf charge from the same office.
 Over 5000 vested patents and patent applications have been li- censed by the Alien Property Gus todian to nearly TOO firms and persons. Much war material on the fighting frcnts has been produced under these patents
 Licenses under most of these patents are readily obtainable by sny U. S. citizen upon application and the payment Of an adminis- trative fee of S15 per patent Ap- plications should be addressed to the Office of Alien Property Gus todian, Division of Patent Admin istration, Washington g, D. c.

 orhey are practicing now witt bamboo spears" he said.
 suzuki gave no indication that he understood the pitiful futility oi his statement.
 Acceptance of Shinto and it's doc trines of emperor devotion is the easiest way to live in the Japanese army, said Toshio, 27, former Budd- List priest and university graduate. f To speak against Shinto and it's per iersicn by tlle militarists is to court death, Ee -t1. He reported that even the Buddhists, who believe in gentleness, are silenced.
 Importance Of Face
 None of the prisoners was sure of being able to return to Japan-par- ticularly if Japan won the war. Su2- lki, the newspaperman, expressed he thought of many when he said:
 As a parent, regardless of race, I want to see my wife and four hildren again. As Japanese, would be ashamed to go back"
 Battlefield capture has been drill cd into the Japanese as the deepest scssible disgrace, the product of consistent teaching in schools. and at home. Most relatives of prison IFS prefer to consider them dead, 'ather than admit the possibility of capture alive.
 But even with those incapaci- ated and captured against their will, the total of prisoners infin tesimal compared to the Japanese forces expended on Leyte. The fact that only about 2,000 Japanese sol iiers have been captured in the Pacific conflict, upderlies the effect iveness of the traGe ion compelling ] Japanese to seek battlefield death Within the camp with few excep- ticns, the prisoners still conform tC the stern militaristic tradition. TheS follow the iron ritual laid down 1T training and obey implicitly the or l ders of higher ranking prisoners And almost universally they cling tt the belief in Japan's eventual vic tory and the myth of her "benevo lent armies"

FISHING FOR
 HALIBUT WILL BEGIN MAY 1

Ire f-ac11ic halibut fleet of sev- eral hundred vessels will not begin it's fishing operations this year un- til May l, two weeks later than the lsual date for the opening of the season, according to Charles E. Jackson, Assistant Deputy Coordina- tor of Fisheries.
 The halibuo fishery the only deep-sea fishery under international regulation-is controlled jointly by the United States and Canada through the International Fisheries Commission, of which MT. Jackson is member.
 Many of the vessels and crews which will enter the halibut fishery nn May l are now fishing for sharks, lingcod, and other bottom fish off the coast of Washington and Ore zen, MT. Jackson said.
 The later opening date was re- quested by halibut fishermen and WIS approved by the Commission on the grounds that larger fish were available later in the season.
 This year, American and Canad- ian fishermen will be allowed to take 52,500,O00 pounds of halibut- an increase of a million and a half pounds over last year The condi- lticn of the halibut stocks, which a fsw years ago were in a state of ex- tren4e depletion, is now showing definite Improvement and the Com mission has teen able to increase the quota gradually.
 Although the total catch of hali- but is not large. this choice species is marketed widely throughout the country, the bulk of the catch be- i ing shipped from the Pacific coast ports to the northeastern states Halibut flyers are an important source of vitamin oils.
 The halibut is a giant founder While the male grows to a weight of more than 40 pounds. females have been found weighing ten times as much. The halibut is a slow-grow- i ing species, reaching commercial size at years. maturing at 12, under favorable conditions living for per haps half a century. Because of its slow growth, it is especially sub- ject to depletion. Minimum size limits new protect young halibut however.
 The halibut is one of the chie1 species still caught by hook and line rather than in nets or traps. Like all founders, it is bottom feeder ard lives close to the ocean floor where it is taken on lines ranging from 300 to little more than one thousand feet in length. The spe- cies probably can live at ever greater depths, but it is not at pres ent economical to fish for them ir such deep waters.
 l The Pacific halibut, like it's cousin in the Atlantic, is found in places where the warm watesr from the south mix with Arctic currents. Ir the Pacific it's habitat is a rough crescent fro mBering sea and the Alaska peninsula and continuing south to northern California. It is also found in waters near Russia and Japan.

When this young lady un- expectedly arrives in town on a personal appearance tour, the com plications begin. And what compli- cations!
 The part of Chester Binney is in the expert hands of It. "Lennie'' Schaffer, the genial Supply Officer of the Sub Port.
