Of the shipping demanded 130,-000 130,-000 tone is French, the remainder Belgian, Netherlands, Greek and Jugoslav. Germany wants the ships to re- i place Axis losses in the Mediter ranean. So far as could be learned the Vichy government had not accepted accept-ed the German demand and had not up to two days ago surrendered-any-of the ships, arguing that the armistice convention did not require such surrender. Nevertheless the. Germane were reported to have persisted in s demand that the foreign ships be handed over at once, on the ground that Germany is the oc-cuying oc-cuying authority in the countries involved. Presumably the Germans Ger-mans were willing to wait a while for the French ships. Parent-Teacher Convention Set SPRING VIL.L.E Plans are going go-ing forward for the regional convention con-vention of Parents-Teacher organizations organ-izations to be conducted in this city on Sept. 17.

Mrs. Charles Rowe of Chicago, ANKARA, Sept. 9 u.R (Delayed) (Delay-ed) German Field Marshal Er-win Er-win Rommel lost more than 100 of his 270 first line tanks in last week's fighting on the Alamein line, Wendell Willkie said today" on his arrival from Egypt. He made it plain that in his opinion, which he formed in course of a tour of the battle front in company with the highest British officers, including Lieut. Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery, commander in chief of the British Brit-ish eighth army, that Rommel had suffered a serious and big scale defeat. "The extent of the United Nations Na-tions victory has not yet been reported," Willkie said. "The axis calls "it a reconnaissance reconnais-sance in force. If there are many more such reconnaisances there won't be -any Germany left. "Rommel lost about 40 per cent of his first line tanks, more than 100 out of 270r.' He was 6utTto take Egypt. Now, in ordinary language, he Is in a hell of a hole. "I was there and I saw the tanks which had been destroyed. I was on the battle field two days ago. Rommel was repulsed. The reasons for the repulse are: "Gen. Montgomery proved himself him-self a superb fighting field general. gen-eral. "RoyaL air force and American army air force planes gave su-i perb support to the ground forces. "Production of America and the rest of the United Nations made itself felt. "I talked to soldiers at the! front. Their morale was high. They knew the extent of their victory. "I think this battle is a visible sign of the turn of the tide." Willkie arrived here to confer with Turkish officials on his way to Russia and China as President Roosevelt's special envoy. j SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE Some scholarships tothe Utah State Agricultural college are available for Provo high school graduates, according to Principal Kenneth E.

They have done little damage. 2 Navy and land based planes are ripping to pieces the enemy detachments which are attempting to land on Guadalcanal island the marine base, and San Jorge island, is-land, 65 miles northwest of the Guadalcanal air field. 3. It is probable that the Japanese, Jap-anese, trying to sneak their men ashore, have succeeded in landing some to join the scattered enemy forces in the Guadacanal jungles and mountains. 4 The position of the marines is becoming steadily stronger be-cause be-cause supplies and reinforcements s- are being landed apparently at will and the air field on Guadalcanal, Guadal-canal, which the enemy had 85 per cent completed when the United States forces landed, is now fully in operation. Announcement that the Japanese Japan-ese were trying to land men on San Jorge indicated that they were devoting some attention to the area immediately north of the marine ma-rine positions in fear of an early start of the promised marine push northward through the Solomons. A dispatch from Robert Miller. the marines on Guadalcanal, told how the Japanese were raiding the island with "monotonous regularity," regular-ity," paying a heavy price1 and causing little damage.

Here Virginia Turpin, attractive Burr daughter, now married, shows you the small baskets called "cups" in which the berries are gathered. "All ripe berries must be removed re-moved every picking," Mr. Burr, explained, "or next time around they may be over-ripe and poor quality. Each picker wears a waist band which holds 24 cups in two 12-cup stacks. Using both hands, pickers fill their two top cups (one in each stack), set these cups down in the shade of the vines, and then start filling the next two top cups. Berry crates are left at the end of each row 12 filled cups make a crate. Our pickers both pick and pack.

"To get high berry yields I irrigate irri-gate weekly starting the first of May, cultivate cul-tivate after each irrigation, and also fertilize ferti-lize heavily," Mr. Burr told me. "The raspberry rasp-berry canes grow too close together for a cover crop. I spread on 15 to 20 tons of barnyard barn-yard manure to the acre every winter. At harvest time the canes grow six feet tall and more. As each shoot bears, it dies. We prune out this dead wood during the winter, while the canes are dormant, and top back the new wood on mature canes to about Zxh feet high. There's always plenty to do in a raspberry patch. Every bush and tree you see on this place I have set out myself Mr. I. J. Burr of Oram, Utah, is one of the best berry and fruit farmers I've met up with in many a day and one of the busiest. In addition to doing practically prac-tically all the work on his own 20 acres Mr. Burr drives the school bus, helps his neighbors prune and spray, and acts as secretary-manager of the Utah Berry Growers Association. This farm coop erative marketed about 26,000 crates of berries for its 50 members in 1941. "Raspberries all ripen and must be moved between the last week in June and August first," Mr. Burr told me. "Our Association has been able to assure Safeway of No. 1 berries in dependable supply, and Safeway has been our largest buyer. They took about maMi - w 10.000 crates last vear. navin?

(This display was part of a "Cherry and Rasp-, berry Week" promotion put on by-Utah Safeway stores during the height of the picking season.) "We raspberry rasp-berry growers around Orem had more than our share of troubles until we formed our Association in 1938," Mr. Burr told me. "Our only marketing outlets 'were local merchants and fruit peddlers, and as raspberry acreage increased in this district the price we growers got went down. Safeway has helped us over that hump. With their efficient distribution system Safeway ships a good part of our berries out to other areas, so the local market is better stabilized. Over the Fourth of July period during the entire season Safeway advertises ad-vertises and pushes our berries without cost to us. All this gives our Association members a better opportunity to make a decent Irving. Mrs. Burr tells me our food money goes farther at Safeway, too, and we're folks that appreciate good buys. It's- been hard-going, but we've helped put 8 of our 4 children through college and our fourth is now in high school. We enjoy shopping at fcthe well-stocked Safeway store in Provo" , ' " . 1 : . ..--r : ,tf |
