Locating Vegetable Crops
/GARDENERS can usually grow a
vX fairly good crop of vegetables
tn almost any kind of soil, as long
as there is good sunlight and mois
ture. . «
This is fortunate, as some gar
deners have little choice of soil,
and must use the small plots at
■their disposal. Crops of best qual
ity and high productivity can be
produced, however, when the soli
best suited to a vegetable is used.
For those who have various kinds
•f soil available, or for those who
wish to grow only vegetables that
are suited to the soil they must —
use, the following suggestions are
presented:
In heavy or clayey soils grow i
beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, chic- 1
cry, corn, kale, peas, pumpkin, rhu
barb, spinach, squash; Swiss chard
and rutabaga.
In light or sandy soils: Aspa
ragus, carrot, celery, collards, Chi
nese cabbage, cucumber, egg plant,
endive, kohlrabi, lettuce, canta
loupe, watermelon, mustard, okra,
onion, parsley, parsnip, radish, to
mato, turnip, and most herbs.
In muck: Onions, celery, spinach,
Chinese cabbage, radish, turnip,
carrot, kale, lettuce, mustard, pars
ley, parsnip, rhubarb, spinach, I
Swiss chard, and herbs. Onions and
eelery are excellent muck crops.
In partially shaded spots, the fol
lowing may usually be grown with
good results: Beans, radish, let
tuce, endivo, kale, cabbage, beet,
sprouting broccoli, carrot, mustard, i
parsley, parsnip, rhubarb, Swiss
Chard, turnip, and rutabaga.

COME writers have a tendency to
make too frequent) use of the
comma, but how important the
comma can be is illustrated by a
document discovered a few years
ago in Spain, which seemed to show
that Sir Walter Raleigh was not, as
is generally supposed, the first to
Introduce'tobacco to Europe.
The document was a will drawn in
the year 1533, more than half a cen
tury before Sir Walter smoked his
first pipe. The testator named as one
of his heirs a mr.n seemingly des
cribed as "Antonio, tobacco mer
chant of Lisbon.” Closer examina
tion of the will, however, convinced
scholars that the proper reading
was “Antonio Tc basso, merchant of
Lisbon.” Thus the placing of a
comma threatened to deprive
Raleigh of his fame as the patron
Mint Os tobacco.

By official proclamation Governor Fred P. Cone (top) Florida's Chief Executive, proclaims “Industries Day”
to honor the ploneerlnp efforts in the fields of chemical research that have been the lifetime work of Dr.
Charles Holmes Herty (below). Governor Cone cites for this celebration, activities planned for Fernandina,
Florida, on January 14, when a giant new kraft paper mill will be launched.
THE eyes of the nation will be
focused on quaint, little Fernan
dina, Florida, January 14 when lead
ing industrialists, financial and edi
torial figures gather as guests of
Florida's Governor Fred P. Cone to
pay tribute to the work of a dis
tinguished Georgia scientist, Dr.
Charles Holmen Herty. By execu
tive proclamation Governor Cone
established this date to apprise al)
Florida Industries of the growing
importance of the Southeastern
states’ hundred million dollar new
kraft paper enterprises, resulting
largely from pioneering research
and pine cellulose utility begun
seven years ago by Dr. Herty.
Modern Tankers Cut Costs

launching.
THE "J. W. Van Dyke.” the new
18,500-ton tanker which The At
lantic Refining Company will put
Into servloe next month, offers a
graphic illustration of the strides
the petroleum industry has made in
handling the sea transportation of
its products since the 234-ton brig,
the ‘‘Elizabeth Watts.” sailed for
England in 1861 from Atlantic docks
with one of the first cargoes of oil to
be carried on the high seas.
Tanker transportation costs are
an Important element in determin
ing what the motorist pays for his
gasoline, and the ability of the
American tanker fleet to provide
efficient, low-cost transportation Is
one of the outstanding examples of
the progressive efficiency of the in
dustry as a whole. Cargo capacity,

Corporation ot America’s >9,000,000

for the occasion with James G.

sea speed, the time required to un
load cargo are among the principal
factors that determine the ability ot
a tanker to transport its cargo at
minimum cost.
On a single trip the “J. W. Va i
Dyke” will be able to carry 6,552,000
gallons ot gasoline—enough gasoline
to supply the average requirements
of nearly 10,000 motorists for a full
year, or enough to run an automobile
in the low-price class 17 times
around the earth. Her sea speed of
over 13 knots will enable her to
make the trip between Texas Gult
ports and Philadelphia in the unusu
ally fast time of six days. Pumping
equipment will make possible the
discharge of cargo at the rate of
630,000 gallons an hour, approxi
mately three times the usual dis
charge rate.
welcomed at Jacksonville, proceed
thence to view a parade of historic
pageantry sponsored by the City of
Fernandina, events featured later
by dedication ceremonies at the
new paper mill. At Jacksonville the
group will be guests at a state ban
quet where Governor Cone will be
host.
In addition to New York, Chicago
and Washington guests, Governor
Cone has Invited the Governors of
eight southern paper producing
states to take part in the day’s ac
tivities described as a symposium
on the new southern industry.

Business men who find their
recreation in cruising along the sea
board can talk to their hornet or
offices by telephone without putting

It is reported that the U. S. Navy
has developed a “radio spy" which
can track down and locate enemy
vessels over long distances, thus
providing ample warning of their
presence. It is believed that the
basis of the device is the use of
micro-waves which are reflected
back by the distant warships.

Progress in the campaign for
greater safety at sea is marked by
the successful performance of a
robot radio receiver designed to in
sure the receipt of distress signals

who may be off duty at the time.
The receiver reacts to a special code
signal. When such a signal is picked
up it calls the operator by sounding
an alarm bell and flashing warning
Lights.

Ruth Martin, Noreen Carr, Dorothy Day, and Katherine Aldridge keep up
their energy without losing their trim figures by drinking unsweetened
Hawaiian pineapple juice between scenes on a Hollywood set.
STANDING around in beautiful
clothes is a lot tougher than it
sounds; particularly when there is
a battery of Kleig lights glaring at
you. The most beautiful and most
photographed girls in the world
have discovered this for themselves
in their initial film appearance in
Walter Wangcr’s “Vogues of 1938,”
now in production. The most beau
tiful models in New York were im
ported by the Hollywood studios to
wear the creations of world famous
couturiers. The job of looking
beautiful all day takes a lot of
energy but the girls don’t dare run
the risk of gaining even a fraction
of a pound. So to solve the problem,
keeping their figures and their en
ergy’, the girls took to drinking un
sweetened Hawaiian pineapple juice I
between scenes. These four: Ruth ;

two cans of pineapple juice and

Cinema stars, however, are not
the only women in the world who
have a strenuous job and a desire
to keep a trim figure. Housewives
and young business women every
where have the same problem and
they are not immune from mid
afternoon or mid-morning fatigue.
As a “pick me up” that neither puts
on unwanted poundage or spoils
luncheon or dinner appetites, pine
apple juice provides a remarkably
quick-acting energy restorer. The
vitamin content ot the juice is a big A
help in keeping the body fit too.

the use of unsweetened fruit juice
