beachhead fighting which final
~ resulted in the capture of
Naples cost 4,947 United States
and 1922 British casualties.
When the Italian campaign
begged down north of Naples.
Mr.. Churchill pushed for a
landing farther UP the coast at
Anzio to divert the German de-
Tense. The Germans, however.
were able to hold their line at
Casino and also contain the
beachhead force for four months.
The fighting at Anzio and Cas-
Isino cost the United States 5th
Army 52,13O casualties in 21a
months.
Eisenhower Views On Record
i The President has set forth his
views on the Salerno and Anzio
landings in his book, Crusade in
Europe. In it he said the allied
command picked Salerno after
considering every spot on the
beach from Rome to the toe of
the (Italianl boot"
Gen. Eisenhower pointed out
that Salerno's great disadvan-
tage was that it was at the ex-
IRENE limit of range for support
ing allied planes. But, he added.
there was no more favorable
spot to the south, so the allies
launched their attack with no
illusions.
Nevertheless, Gen. Eisenhower
stated his objections to the An
zio landing during a conference
in Tunisia with Mr.. Churchill
and the new allied commander
in the Mediterranean, British
Gen. Sir Henry Maitland (Jumbo)
Wilson.
| Gen. Eisenhower told the Brit
ish leaders that landing two
skeletonized divisions at Anzio,
100 miles beyond existing front
lines, was risky and would not
necessarily force a German re-
treat. He warned the costs would
be heavy and urged careful con-
sideration of the whole plan.
But, he added, Mr.. Churchill
was determined to carry it out.
Summing things up after the
heavy American losses at Anzio.
Gen. Eisenhower said Anzio
eventually paid off handsomely"
but developed initially exactly
MS his headquarters said 1t would.
Intended to Turn Flank
Anzio was intended to turn the
German flank that had stalled
the allied advance at Casino
The Army Almanac, an Army
Department publication, calls it
the famous left hook" that
preached the Germans Gustav
Line including Casino and the
Rapido River and helped the
allies take Rome.
The official Army history states
that allied leaders. soon after the
Salerno landing, began to con-
slider an amphibious landing
south of Rome but far north of
the allied beachheads.
On November 8, 1913. Marshal
Alexander ordered Gen. Clark to
prepare for such an operation to
outfank the strongly entrenched
Germans. This plan originally
called for a comparatively small.
diversionary effort. Later allied
headquarters expanded it.
In 1916, a group of former
Officers who fought under Gen
Clark in Italy accused him of
bIunders in the Rapido River
crossing. They urged the United
States Senate's Military Commit
tee net to confirm Gen. Clark's
promotion as a permanent major
general.

Higher Yields Reported
From Early Planting

FARMERS OF NORTHWESTERN
Montana who get their drills into ac-
ton little earlier than usual will find
that it pays.
This is the belief Of Vern Stewart,
assistant in agronomy, Northwestern
Montana Branch station at Creston. He
has four years of experimental records
to back up his belief His records cover
oats, barley and spring wheat.
The usual planting dates for oats in
Northwestern Montana are from May
to Is. Stewart experimental with
earlier paintings and here are his re-
suits: April Is paintings yielded 147
bushels per acre. May paintings
averaged 125 bushels and May Is plant
ings, ia bushels per acre.
For better yields of barley, plant no
later than May ), Stewards records
show. After four years his records
show that barley yields dropped off 10
to Is bushels per acre for each five
days delay in planting after May 5.
May turned out to be the best
date for planting Pilot spring wheat.
Wheat planted May 5 averaged AZ
bushels per acre. May Is yields were
four bushels less per acre. Planting
after May reduces the chances for
maturity considerably.
Stewards records show that yields
dropped similarly when Pilot wheat
was planted earlier than May 5.

Rust-Resistant Durun
Increased i'm Mexico

THE FARMER-FINANCED winter in
crease of new stem rust-resistant
durum wheat, Langdon, being grown on
irrigated land on the west coast of
Mexico, is progressing satisfactorily
according to Donald G. Fletcher, Ex-
ecutive Secretary Of the Rust Proven
ton Association of Minneapolis.
This is the first time that large scale
increases of wheat have been made in
Mexico, although other winter increases
have been made at Brawley, Calf,
and Yuma, Ariz., frequently since 1850
when race 15B of wheat rust first
became destructive. The Rust Pre-
vention Association is acting as agent
for the North Dakota farmers who are
financing the Mexican winter increase.
During the coming season, more than
rs per cent of the durum acreage will
still be planted to rust susceptible
varieties. However, by the spring of
1857 with the help of the winter seed
increases, there should be enough seed
of the new rust-resistant durums to
plant between and 21a million acres
and produce adequate durum to meet
the country'S entire need for macaroni,
spaghetti and noodles.
