TEN ADRIAN DAILY TELEGRAM, ADRIAN. MICHIGAN. MONDAY, MAY 10. 1943 Advice To Amateur Gardeners By JAMES MABLOW and GEORGE ILELKE WASHINGTON, May 10 man with the" hoe rates a pat on the back but he'll get two pats if he's careful with those vegetable Beeds. This is a record year in many war production, shipbuilding and battlefront fighting.

It also is a record breaker in vegetable seeds and amateur (Victory) gardeners. Because vegetable seeds mean food at a time when American food has to be spread among Americans and their allies, the agriculture department urges care in the way they are used. Not that there won't be enough seeds to go around, but the experts say most amateurs use too many seeds. So far there has been no general seed shortage. But at the agriculture department it was said the supply of such kinds of seeds as onions, carrots, beets has been shorter than others and for that reason their export has been cut down.

Since this year there probably are millions of Victory gardeners for the first time sticking seeds into the earth, the possibility of waste is greater than usual. Even farmers have trouble gauging just how many seeds to put into a of vegetables. So the Victory gardeners can help by following instructions on their seed packages and not over-sowing. Vegetables growing too thickly must be thinned out before they bear normally. That wastes seeds.

"In order for us to get by this rear, it is absolutely necessary that no seeds be wasted," says G. C. Edler, seed specialist of the agriculture department. He reports the seed business booming, with sales breaking all records, and estimates the wholesale value will top 100 million dollars. 10 million more than a year ago.

Stores which normally order one lay-out of seeds have had to reorder several times already this spring to take care of demand. Meanwhile he flower-seed business has fallen off, indicating that many pre-war flower growers now are turning to vegetables. Last month, Edler says, many people may have been prevented from planting by cold weather. So Hie demand is expected to rise as the temperature climbs. Edler says for 11'i million pounds expected to go into export this million pounds of seeds are available for planting in 1943, an S3 million pound increase over the previous year.

That million pounds a combination of 334 million produced in 1942 for the 1943 mar- kPt and 62 million pounds carriec over from seeds which were marketable but unused in 1942. Nevertheless, looking at those huge figures, Edler cautions: "We're not over the hill yet. And we are apprehensive that some shortages may develop." PLASTIC BOMBER NOSE USED AS TESTING ROOM FOR RADIO EQUIPMENT CAMDEN, N. May unprocessed clear plastic bomber nose tpday acts as'a stratosphere chamber, to enable engineers to test aircraft radio apparatus and electronic equipment under high altitude conditions while on the ground. This transparent nosr cone, which is able to duplicate stratosphere conditions miles above the earth, speeds up radio tests and hence the delivery of radio equipment to the military air services.

Composed of plexiglas, a plastic, the chamber makes possible complete testing and inspection of any piece of radio apparatus by several engineers at one time. It obviates the difficulties of former test chambers which were constructed of metal and permitted observation only through small portholes. Defects in design and apparatus behavior which normally might go undetected until an actual flignt are now spotted at a glance in this chamber, it was said. An entire complement of test instruments and meters may be connected to the apparatus during tests and plainly viewed by PLANE CRASHES; PILOT REPORTED MISSING EAST TAWAS, May 10 search continued today for Lieut. Wilmeth Sidat-Singh.

former Syracuse University football star, who was reported missing after the army pursuit plane he was piloting caught fire and crashed into Saginaw Bay off Lake Huron. Witnesses told officers from Self ridge Field, where the 25-year- old pilot was stationed, that they saw a parachute open before the plane crashed at noon yesterday. No trace of either Sidat-Singh or the parachute was found by searchers who included army men fcom the army gunnery school at Oscoda, Michigan state police and coast guardsmen. The army said that only a large oil slick was found in the lake about a mile off shore. The plane, sank after it crashed.

Lieut. Sidat-Singh, who was graduated March 25 as a second lieutenant from the Tuskegee army flying school at Tuskegee, was assigned to the 301st Negro fighter squadron at the 332nd fighter group at Selfridge Field last Tuesday and had been sent to the Oscoda school, a unit of Selfridge, for gunnery practice. The army said he was on a routine flight when the crash occurred. Sidat-Singh, who played in the backfleld at Syracuse in 1937 and 1938, staged his most spectacular performance in the 1938 season with a trio of scoring aerials in the final three minutes against Cornell University, giving Syracuse the victory. He also played basketball at Syracuse.

The young pilot starred in sports at Clinton high school, New York, where he was a graduate in 1935. He received his diploma from Syracuse in 1939. Holland Put Under Martial Law LONDON, May 10 Axis preparations to ward off any Allied invasion attempt along the "soft underbelly of Europe" were reported underway from the south coast of France to the Black sea today as the German-Italian debacle in North Africa entered its final phases. Although Hitler and Mussolini seemed particularly concerned over the prospects of an Allied drive through southern Europe, reports from Holland indicated that the Axis was not overlooking the possibility of an assault across the English cannel. All.of Holland was placed under martial law last night.

The Netherlands news agency, Aneta, reported, and Dutch sources were convinced the action was taken by the Germans in an effort to forestall any armed outbreak in connection with an Allied invasion. Heightening Axis fears. 400 Allied planes raided the Sicilian harbor of Palermo yesterday on the third anniversary of Hitler's invasion of the lowlands, leaving that important base flaming and smoking under the heaviest aerial onslaught of the Mediterranean campaign. In the Balkans, German troops were being moved southward through Hungary at a rate comparable to that preceding the Axis attack on Greece and Yugoslavia, according to travelers from Europe arriving at Ankara. Stockholm dispatches reported Germany was sending modern weapons to bolster Bulgarian defenses.

Nazi Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler lias hurried to the Balkans to demand the suppression of German opposition and the deportation of all opposition leaders, it was reported from Geneva by Tass, official Russian news agency. A German radio commentator yesterday underlined the Balkan developments when he said "reported allied troop movements to Cyprus and troop concentrations in Palestine and Syria point to a campaign against southeastern Europe, but the enemy will be repulsed at every point of our southern front." He boasted of the "strengthened defenses" of the Dodecanese. Cyclades, Sporades, and other Aegian islands generally. Building Speeded Vp Rommel, previously reported to have left North Africa to take charge in the Balkans, was said by London newspapers to have ordered a speedup of new construction by Greek forced labor. The newspapers reported that Rommel also had ordered the construction of new strategical highways between- Bulgaria and Greece.

At the southwestern end of Hitler's conquered territory, the German labor corps was rushing construction of new anti-invasion defenses along the French Mediterranean, according to a German broadcast recorded by the Associated Press, which also disclosed that the key French port of Le Havre had been ordered evacuated. Tass quoted German newspapers reaching Stockholm that mass arrests have been made at Vichy for "underground subversive activity," and that special identification cards have been issued to the populations of prohibited zones on the French-Spanish frontier. The invasion theme, though in a different note, also was sounded yesterday by Gen. Giraud, who told his French homeland in a broadcast from Algiers that "tomorrow the European fortress will be attacked." He warned that the struggle would be "hard and perhaps long." "Don't be impatient," he cautioned Frenchmen. "Don't give pretexts for savage and bloody repression.

Wait until we are ready to strike together." And in Italy, where millions of Italians were summoned to observance of army and empire day, Gen. Attilio Teruzzi, minister of an Italian Africa that no longer exists, warned that Italy's whole future was at stake and said "we will fight to the last drop of blood." niversary and the lives of Russian people.
