Guide for

By Maj. Thomas N. Mic

Questions and answers:
Question from r. D., New Orleans
IT was given a blue discharge from
the Army. Can I get terminal leave
pay?"
I'm afraid not. Terminal leave
pay goes only to veterans discharged
under honorable conditions. and the
War Department says that excludes
holders of blue discharges.
But you can appeal your discharge
under the CT Bill, and, if successful
you can then apply for terminal
leave pay. Write the adjutant gen.
erals office, War Department.
Washington IS, DC.
From R. T., Hartford: when
entered the service I only took out
$4,000 worth of National Service
Life Insurance. Now that I'm out
can I buy any more?"
Yes, but only up to total OF
$4,000. To qualify for the addi-
tional insurance you'll have to pass
q physical examination. If you ap-
ply before January l, 1850, and the
only thing disqualifying you is a
service-connected disability, the
physical requirements will be waived
From c. T., Chester, S. c.: my
wife and are both going to school
under the CT Bill. What's the most
subsistence allowance we can get?"
You can claim your wife as a de-
pendent and draw $50 month al
lowance, while she draws s65. That's
what the VA says. II you have one
or more children you can claim
your wife as a dependent, and she
can claim the child, and then you
both can draw the $50.
From E. H. Delmar, Del, Il lost
my Navy certificate of satisfactory
service. Form $50. and now I can't
get CT Bill benefits without produc-
ing it. Can I get another one?"
You can. Write to the Bureau
OF Personnel, Enlisted Records Sec
ton (for officers it's Officers Cor
respondence Section), Navy Depart
ment, Washington Is, D. c. You'll
get duplicate, though it may take
time.
From M. B. Jackson, Mich: 81
was discharged in peace time for a
service connected disability. Then
I was called up for the National
Guard In 1941, served six days and
was medically discharged for that
same disability. In other words, ]
served less than 80 days but did get
a service-connected disability dis
charge. Do I get CT Bill benef1ts?'
The VA says no" Your disabil-
ity must be caused by service in
World War II, or aggravated by it.
to make you eligible VA says
chances are your disability Was not
aggravated in such short tour OF
duty.
From D. j.. Orange, Tex: It have
job In Civil Service, and I'd like
to study law with a correspondence
course. Can I get CT Bill benefits
in other words, education, and draw
pay from the Government at the
same timer"
You'll be able to take that cor
respondence course. OF course you
won't rate any subsistence allow
ance, but the VA will pay your tut
tion-if you use an approved school,
giving an approved course of study
For every four weeks you spend
with your course you'll lose one week
Of your GI Bill education period

Burning of Fields
Held Bad Practice

Farmers should not burn fields fol
two reasons. Organic matter is toe
valuable to destroy and wind-borne
sparks may damage valuable timber
Burned timbers pays no wages
builds no homes.
Recent SHOWS left the GROUND
damp, but winds have dried leaves
and underbrush. If brush must be
burned, farmers should bear in mind
the Virginia law that makes burning
unlawfully until after pm.
Usually winds have quieted by late
afternoon and a greater amount Of
moisture is rising from the ground

spring as the soil Is workable. The
soil is, then, the major handicap to
be overcome.
Proper growth of root crops is not
easy in clay soil. It crusts, max
ing termination difficult. In heavy
clay soil root" growth is oftentimes
stunted, making 1t fibrous, tough,
lacking in flavor. Onion sets planted
too deeply in heavy clay make
small bulbs. Carrots can hardly be
pried out of the ground
On a small plot owned by the gar
dener he can afford to go to the
trouble of mixing sand, ashes, peat
moss or compost with heavy soil in
sufficient quantities to render it
light and friable"
On the Depth of Furrow.
On larger plot, however, the
cost Of this sort of soil improve
ment is likely to be prohibitive and
other means of growing root crops
should be sought. One Of the easier
and less expensive methods requires
sufficient compost to fill the seed
furrow, which has been made with
the hoe. Such furrow should be
deeper for half-long carrots than
for beets, which need only a moder-
ately shallow furrow. For the long
carrots, parsnips and satisfy, the
furrow should be or inches deep,
although It's width need not be more
than 2 to inches.
The compost should be fairly well
packed into the furrow, a step that
Is easily taken care of by walking
the row two or three times, tramp
ing the material into place to in
sure moisture, supply to the ger
minating seeds.
Beet seed should be spaced at
least an inch apart. Each of the
so-called seeds is cluster, in real
ity, and probably even at one inch
they will need thinning. Easily
transplanted, If too many appear a
second row may be started. They
will mature a week or so later than
those not transplanted. Trans
plant seeding beets on cloudy day
and cut the tops back.
Beets need both lime and potash
for good growth, hence wood ashes
from the fireplace may be worked
into the compost to good advantage.
A pound of wood ashes (unleached)
per so feet of row Is moderate ap-
plication but sufficient for the COM
post If lime was used in its making.
Without lime a slightly greater
quantity-2 pounds per so feet of
row may be used. Lacking wood
ashes, to pounds of ground lime
stone or l to 2 pounds of hydrated
lime may be used for the same
length Of row.
Plant Carrot Seeds Thin.
It is difficult to SOW carrot seed
as thinly as beets, but they do not
terminate as well. Thin the plants
to an inch apart. Even with this
thinning, begin using the carrots
when small so those left to reach
full size will be spaced at least 2
inches apart. Carrots are slow to
germinate so many gardeners scat
ter few radish seed to mark the
row and permit earlier cultivation.
Most gardeners prefer to use the
half-long varieties of carrots as
there is little advantage to be
gained from the long tapering va
rieties. Nantes and Chantenay are
standard garden sorts. Carrots to
