(This oolumn of weekly Informa- tion is provided by the Metuchen Re- corder, the State Victory Garden Committee, and the County Agricul- tural Agent.) By Dr. Charles H. Connors, Horticulturist, N. J. College of Agriculture The time has arkved for the 1- nal sowings in the gardeh. In the northern part of New Jersey these plantings should be completed promptly. In the central part of the state about August 15 would be the last date, while In the southern part a week or 10 days later than that will allow- sufficient tim e for growth to maturirty of a few crops. Looseleaf lettuce, head lettuce, spinach, kale, endive <hoth curly and broadleaved) and winter rad- ishes are “the latest sown crops. There are 'certain -precautions worth observing when sowing seeds at this season of the year as the weather is hot and the soil is apt to be dry. -.Most of the summer sowings will be made in places from which crops have been removed, that is, they will .follow peas, early beahs, spin- ach and so on. Such soil should be dug. and; since it is apt to be dry, pains must be taken to break it up well and reduce It to the fineness necessary for a seed bed. There are several mthods of treatment that may be recommend- ed. If you are going Ip depend up- o nnatural existing conditions with- out using some special means of protection, the best method to .use. is to sow the seeds a little deeper than spring sowing tf th4 sail ifj dry, then trover them with fid arifl tamp it down. Moisture tv ftwe&sary for the gemination Of seeds and with this simplte method it would be ad- visable to cover the planted row with straw grass clippings or some other mulching material in order to hold what fnoistiire lk-iteent aad to encourage movement upward of the soil moisture. . A. second method ts to water the seeds in, either with plain water or, prefera'bly, with a starter solution made by putting a teacupful of Vic- tory Garden fertilizer in 12 quarts of water: Open up the furrow or drill to the appropriate depth for the size of the seeds to be-Sown, sow the seeds and then carefully water ovr the seeds with the starter solu- tion, using about a teacupful to a foot of drill. After this has soaked into the soil, draw in dry soil to fill the drill. If the soil Is drawn In while water is still standing a crust will form on the surface on drying and seedlings will have a difficult time to emerge. Even with t h i s method at this season, mulching ma- terial over the drill will assist, the processes required fof- germination. Keep Careful Watch Careful watch should be kept, and as soon as the first seedlings emerge, the mulching material should be re- moved In order that the seedlings wtl lnot be “drawn up," as in this stage they may be killed by the sun or by drying winds. Another method of seeding that can be practiced to good advantage with plants that have to be spaced severarl inches apart Is what may be called spot seeding. Kale plants, for instance, should stand 16 Inches apart In the row. instead of sow- ing a continuous stream of seeds to be thinned later, two or three seeds are taken betryeen the thumb and forefinger and placed at Intervals of 16 inches. Lettuce may be spot- ted in the sam eway 12 inches apart. This can be done fn the furrow nr drill, or if the soil is “well prepared, using a garden line as a guide, the seeds can be placed at the appro- priate depth by thrusting the hold- ing fingers into the loose soil, cov- erring upon removal and giving gen- tle pressure. W hen the seeds have germinated ahd reached a suitable size, the ex- cess plants should be removed. This method not only assures proper spacing but is also an economical use o f seeds. Watering the Garden. Watering the -garden has not been mentioned very often hi these ar- ticles because there have been fair amounts of rainfall and hi such cir- cumstances applying water with a hose or watering can usually Is cot necessary, except when traneptant- lng. Tillage and mulchbig dw tototeh' to conserve not! moisture, f - ‘' Seldcgt will an. Ineiperlpnced pef- xon do a good job of waMfeir with the hose held in the band because to do a really mod job requires time Sprinkling the soil Is harmful in that it naolitens only the upper lay- moteture dries out but the feeding root* will grow toward the moisture and will be Injured when the soil does dry. There Is no harm in spraying the tops of plants late in the day when It is hot to wash off dust and re- fresh the plants. Been this must be done carefully when UM nljtbU are cold as the moisture on the- leaves may make conditions favorable for the - development o f mildew. onFspM Lightning Strikes Borough Haj] Damaging Police Equipment The. police department’s 110-foot radio aerial was struck by lightning during an electrical storm early Tuesday morning.- T h e 'fire siren, telephones, electric lights and' air raid signals were temporarily put out of commission.

Aberdeen Tests Prove Our Efficiency Fortress-cpacking tests at Aber- den Proving Ground have proved that the highly publicized German Westwall is not impregnable and can be crumbled when American big guns open up against it. A report on the recent tests was received today by Col. Gilbert I. Ross, Chief of the New York Ord- nance District. *A miniature Westwall was con- structed at Aberdeen,’ where the big* guns of the Ordnance Department, Army Service Forces are tested. In appearance, it was a good-sized blockhouse of high-grade concrete. The concrete- was the same thick-’ ness as the real Westwall. It was reinforped with steel strips of the same strength used for the - rein- forcement of the Nbjzfi Westwall. Dirt heaps in dOptft, also used for reinforcement in the real Westwall. were piled up. Gun embrasures were added fo# realism. American artillery was placed at battle distance from the ersatz Westwall. The guns used were the type that might be practicably transported across the English Channel If an invasion were staged from the west, in conjunction with the Mediterranean invasion* and a bridgehead won on the coast of France. When the gune finished the W< wall waa a shambles. The ooaoiete was smashed, broken up and pul- verised in ptees. The steel rods, twisted and* broken, stuck out from the ruins like stnanda of rigid spa- ghetti.— Tbs - ! a cyclone had struck it. The success of the tests was due largely to the type of heavy hitting artillery developed, supplied and maintained toy the Ordnance De- partment in its constant search for increased firepower, and to the high-explosive armor-piercing shells which were used. They are the same type which bore through the thick, caae-hardened slabs of bat- tleship armor, then explode inside. Practice Blackout Tuesday, Aug. 17 There will be a practice test blackout next Tuesday evening, Au- gust 17th. This will include zones 1 and 2. Zones 3 ahd 4 will participate as observers and incident officers. The control center will be manned and the various services, transportation, communications, police, fire, med- ical and demolition, will be expect- ed to be available. Plans for this test were made at tiie regular meeting of the Defense Council on Tuesday, August 10th. Borough Property To Become Public Park The property east af the borough hall, which had been taken over by the borough for taxes about two years ago and improved, may be de- dicated as a public park in a Labor Day celebration.

WAVES Need Dental Hygienists New Brunswick will be one of the regular stopping points for the dis- charge and taking on of passengers on the New York-Washington route of helicopter service, once it can be established, according to L. H. Ris- tow, general traffic manager of Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines. Mr Ristow announced the tentative list of towns and cities along this route which will be provided with the hel- icopter service, iat the same time fil- ing the list of places to be served by his company with the new form of transportation. The application of Greyhound Lines for a certificate to operate helicopters along th£ same routes as the company buses now follow, was filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board at Washington several weeks ago and is scheduled to come up for hearing early in September. Before compiling the list of towns and cities to be served by helicopters Mr. Ristow made exhaustive studies of eacb< place -under . consideration as a regular helicopter stop, ascer- taining the possibilities of landing and take-off areas for helicopters, and determining the -potential amount of business that coi|d be expected to be developed for this new form of air transportation. In the application, now in th^ hands of the proper Federal agen- cies, the Greyhound Lines empha- sized the point that the helicopter service ’wtiulS' to no way compete with the already established air lines —rather the new service would sup- plement present air travel by mak- ing it avllafele to hundreds of towns and cities now denied this form of transportation. . According to present plans, Grey- hound lines, if they are allowed' to proceed With and develop helicopter jwrvlce, will provide the local air travel ibetween the hundreds of towns on the company’s bus routes, leaving the long distance air travel to the regularly established air line? to handle and turning long-distance travelers over to them at the major airports. -up To augment its Dental Corps m keeping with the needs ol its ex- panding personnel, the U.

Agriculture

T h e time has arkved for the 1- nal sowings in the gardeh. In the northern part o f New Jersey these plantings should be completed promptly. In the central part of the state about August 15 would be the last date, while In the southern part a week or 10 days later than that will allow- sufficient tim e for growth to maturirty of a few crops.

Looseleaf lettuce, head lettuce, spinach, kale, endive <hoth curly and broadleaved) and winter rad­ishes are “the latest sown crops.

There are 'certa in -precautions w orth observing when sowing seeds at this season o f the year as the weather is hot and the soil is apt to be dry.-.M ost of the summer sowings will be made in places from which crops have been removed, that is, they will .follow peas, early beahs, spin­ach and so on. Such soil should be dug. and; since it is apt to be dry, pains must be taken to break it up well and reduce It to the fineness necessary for a seed bed.

There are several mthods of treatment that m ay be recommend­ed. I f you are going Ip depend up- o nnatural existing conditions w ith­out using some special means of protection, the best method to .use. is to sow the seeds a little deeper than spring sowing tf th4 sail ifj dry, then trover them with fid arifl tamp it down. Moisture tv ftwe&sary for the gem ination Of seeds and with this simplte method it would be ad­visable to cover the planted row with straw grass clippings or some other mulching material in order to hold what fnoistiire lk - ite en t aad to encourage movement upward of the soil moisture.. A. second method ts to water the

seeds in, either w ith plain w ater or, prefera'bly, with a starter solution made by putting a teacupful o f Vic­tory Garden fertilizer in 12 quarts of water: Open up the furrow or drill to the appropriate depth for the size of the seeds to be-Sown, sow the seeds and then carefully water ovr the seeds w ith the starter solu­tion, using about a teacupful to a foo t o f drill. A fte r this has soaked into the soil, draw in dry soil to fill the drill. If the soil Is drawn In while water is still standing a crust will form on the surface on drying and seedlings w ill have a difficult tim e to emerge. Even with t h i s method at this season, mulching ma­teria l over the drill will assist, the processes required fof- germination.

Keep Careful WatchCareful watch should be kept, and

as soon as the first seedlings emerge, the mulching material should be re­moved In order that the seedlings wtl lnot be “ drawn up," as in this stage they may be killed by the sun or b y drying winds.

Another method of seeding that can be practiced to good advantage with plants that have to be spaced severarl inches apart Is what m ay be called spot seeding. Kale plants, for instance, should stand 16 Inches apart In the row. instead of sow­ing a continuous stream of seeds to be thinned later, two or three seeds are taken betryeen the thumb and forefinger and placed at Intervals of 16 inches. Lettuce may be spot­ted in the sam eway 12 inches apart. This can be done fn the furrow nr drill, or if the soil is “well prepared, using a garden line as a guide, the seeds can be placed at the appro­priate depth by thrusting the hold­ing fingers into the loose soil, cov­erring upon removal and giving gen­tle pressure.

W h en the seeds have germinated ahd reached a suitable size, the ex­cess plants should be removed. This method not on ly assures proper spacing but is also an economical use o f seeds.

Watering th e Garden.W atering the -garden has not been

mentioned very o ften hi these ar­ticles because there have been fair amounts of rainfall and hi such cir­cumstances applying water w ith a hose or watering can usually Is cot necessary, except when traneptant- lng. Tillage and mulchbig dw tototeh' to conserve not! moisture, f - ‘ '

Seldcgt will an. Ineiperlpnced p e f- xon d o a good job o f waM feir with the hose held in the band because to d o a really m od job requires tim e Sprinkling the soil Is harmful in that i t naolitens on ly the upper lay-

moteturedries out but the feeding root* will grow toward the moisture and will be Injured when the soil does dry. There Is no harm in spraying the tops of plants late in the day when It is hot to wash off dust and re­fresh the plants. Been this must be done carefully when UM nljtbU are cold as the moisture on the- leaves may make conditions favorable for the - development o f mildew.

Aberdeen Tests Prove Our Efficiency

Fortress-cpacking tests at Aber- den Proving Ground have proved that the highly publicized German Westwall is not impregnable and can be crumbled when American big guns open up against it.

A report on the recent tests was received today by Col. Gilbert I. Ross, Chief of the New York Ord­nance District.

*A miniature Westwall was con­structed at Aberdeen,’ where the big* guns of the Ordnance Department, Army Service Forces are tested. In appearance, it was a good-sized blockhouse of high-grade concrete. The concrete- was the same thick-’ ness as the real Westwall. It was reinforped with steel strips of the same strength used for the - rein­forcement of the Nbjzfi Westwall. D irt heaps in dOptft, also used for reinforcement in the real Westwall. were piled up. Gun embrasures were added fo# realism.

American artillery was placed at battle distance from the ersatz Westwall. The guns used were the type that might be practicably transported across the English Channel If an invasion were staged from the west, in conjunction with the Mediterranean invasion* and a bridgehead won on the coast of France.

When the gune finished the W< wall waa a shambles. The ooaoiete was smashed, broken up and pul­verised in ptees. The steel rods, twisted and* broken, stuck out from the ruins like stnanda of rigid spa­ghetti.— T b s - !a cyclone had struck it.

The success of the tests was due largely to the type of heavy hitting artillery developed, supplied and maintained toy the Ordnance De­partment in its constant search for increased firepower, and to the high-explosive armor-piercing shells which were used. They are the same type which bore through the thick, caae-hardened slabs of bat­tleship armor, then explode inside.

Practice Blackout Tuesday, Aug. 17

There will be a practice test blackout next Tuesday evening, Au ­gust 17th. This will include zones 1 and 2.

Zones 3 ahd 4 will participate as observers and incident officers. The control center will be manned and the various services, transportation, communications, police, fire, med­ical and demolition, will be expect­ed to be available.

Plans for this test were made at tiie regular meeting of the Defense Council on Tuesday, August 10th.

WAVES Need Dental Hygienists

New Brunswick will be one of the regular stopping points for the dis­charge and taking on of passengers on the New York-Washington route of helicopter service, once it can be established, according to L. H. Ris- tow, general traffic manager of Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines. Mr Ristow announced the tentative list of towns and cities along this route which will be provided with the hel­icopter service, iat the same time fil­ing the list of places to be served by his company with the new form of transportation.

The application of Greyhound Lines for a certificate to operate helicopters along th£ same routes as the company buses now follow, was filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board at Washington several weeks ago and is scheduled to come up for hearing early in September.

Before compiling the list of towns and cities to be served by helicopters Mr. Ristow made exhaustive studies of eacb< place -under . consideration as a regular helicopter stop, ascer­taining the possibilities of landing and take-off areas for helicopters, and determining the -potential amount of business that coi|d be expected to be developed for this new form of air transportation.

In the application, now in th^ hands of the proper Federal agen­cies, the Greyhound Lines empha­sized the point that the helicopter service ’wtiulS' to no way compete with the already established air lines —rather the new service would sup­plement present air travel by mak­ing it avllafele to hundreds of towns and cities now denied this form of transportation. .

According to present plans, Grey­hound lines, i f they are allowed' to proceed With and develop helicopter jwrvlce, w ill provide the local air travel ibetween the hundreds of towns on the company’s bus routes, leaving the long distance air travel to the regularly established air line? to handle and turning long-distance travelers over to them at the major airports.

All Rutgers Freshmen To Get Pre-induction training

All high school graduates enter­ing Rutgers ’ University in the fall wul have the opportunity .to re­ceive essential pre-induction train­ing through a revised freshman cur­ricula fashioned directly on war needs, it was announced todrfr.

In altering the curricula to give army-bound students tmpofWnf , pre-induction courses', and those physically unfit a baais tor ths»r chosen fluid Of study, Dr. Walter T. Marvin, dean of the College of ^rts and Sciences,- announced that all freshmen entering in October would be required to select either the gen­eral or specialized programs of study.

Hue genera! program Would be followed, Dean Marvin stated, by ttwse students majoring in business administration, economics, educa­tion. history, Journalism, language and literature or psychology. Okl- , dents in the Specialized' pboffllm, "*■’ the dean said, would study as their major subjects pre-medicine, cera­mics, chemistry, engineering, geo­logy, mathematics or physics. Stu­dents in agriculture may follow either. program. . * .

"Both programs will serve a _ double purpose", Dean Maryih stat­ed. "The specialised curricula’ is patterned directly after the bealc engineering and basic pre-medicine course of the Army Specialised ~ Training Program, and the general program Includes several army courses, so that students under 18 who will be drafted soon, will be really, pursuing army studies. Once called by the army, they will stand a better chance to be assigned to the A.S.TJP., and their studies may place them In an advanced section.

"Secondly, those man unable to qualify for military service because of physical deficiency will benefit," he continued, "for both curricula are well-selected first stages in pre­paration fo r any of the usual ma­jor fields of study or of pre-profes­sional training. ’>

Students hi the specialized cur- ’ ricula will take mathematics, phy­sics, chemistry, English, American history, geography, -military science and physical training. The general students w ill pursue english, Ameri­can history, geography, military sci­ence and physical training and two or three of the following courses: mathematics, physics, chemistry, toreign language, economics, history or psychology.

Beginning with the third semes­ter, students will elect courses in accordance with their chosen field.Dean Marvin stated.

torum NewsLocal movie fans have been quick

to compliment the management of the Forum Theater on the endless succession, of screen hits which have be^n shown this summer It .marks the end of another superstition of the theater--namely, that no Hol­lywood successes are shown in the good old summer time and that they’re all saved for the fall and winter. Maybe more efficient cool­ing systems account for the change, or maylbe it’s just old John Q. Pub­lic making his voice heard.

In addition to "Flight For Freedom" on Sunday, Monday aiYl Tuesday; "Tennessee Johnson” on Wednesday and Thursdays and "To The Sho-r^s of Tri|>oli" on Friday and Saturday, there are a long list of screen hits coming to the Forum.

The Why and Hou> o f the Inverted G u ll Wing In the Design o f the Chance Vought Corsair

A FBW montha ago a new weapon root from American airfields in

4ft» Southwest Pacific to challenge the Japa. It was the U. S. Nary’s newest fighter—the Chance Vought ■Corsair — designated the F4U-1 by 4he Nary.| Since then this craft has piled up •a enviable record as a ruthless sky- raider . In their first fight in the 9avo .and Russell Islands area Cor- aalrs bagged IS of 25 Jap Zeros in SO minutes of dog-fighting Subse­quent engagements showed this first •et-to was no accident — day after day the Corsairs have been success­ful in their forays as strafers, bomber escorts and protective planes.

The most distinctive feature of this new plane to the onlooker is Its inverted gull wing Comparison q f the photograph of the Corsair aad thejlrawing of a soaring gull aboVe shows' how apt is the descrift- tioB “ inverted gull wing.”

The aerodynamic and structural reasons for the use of this type of , wing are Just as apparent to the | engineer

The Corsair was designed and I built around the Pratt A Whitney j Aircraft 2,000-b.p. Double Wasp en- j gine. Such a powerful engine do- j manded the largest possible pro- j peller.

The inverted gull Wing design permitted the use of the large pro- \ peller and at the same time a i shorter, lighter landing gear than If the straight wing had been used. At the same time the aerodynatnically efficient attachment of the wing to the fuselage at a right angle was attained Engineers found Auch a position offers the minimum Inter­ference drag between wing and fuselage

Other advantages were improvedvision for the pilot and a lower overall height with the wings folded to facilitate storage in underdeck hangars aboard aircraft carriers.
