THURSDAY. APRIL 8.1«43 1 INDICTMENTS OPENING GUN IN WAR ON

18 Are Charged With Selling Unlawful Meat NEWARK — With the return of an indictment here la*t week charging seven corporations and eleven individuals from all parts of the country with conspiring to violate price regulations and quota restrictions, Nathan L. Jacobs, chief attorney of the state OPA office declared that “this marks the beginning of the end of the organised black market in meat in the -northern New Jersey and New i York City arecThe 16 defendants, Jacobs said, were responsible for bringing into New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut more th%n 10 mUlion pounds of black market beef and veal between December 16, 1942 and January 31, 1948. He estimated that this represents about 32,000,000 in overcharges to the consumer. In addition, there were numerous black market transactions in other parts of the country. Those named in the indictment include three from New Jersey— the Enkay Packing Company, Inc., Nathan Krupnick, and George Moran, of Paterson—and concerns and individuals from Chicago, OL, Green Bay, Wis., Omaha, Nebr., and Kansas City, Kansas. The charges, which were presented to the grand Jury here during the month of March by John D. Masterson, enforcement attorney of the Newark OPA staff in cooperation with Assistant U. S. Attorney Thom Lord, include conspiracy to sell above

tag deliveries of meat for civilian

consumption.

According to OPA officials the investigation leading to the indictment uncovered an elaborate black market structure on a mind scale, in which- slaughter houses and packing establishments were purchased by the ring of conspirators, agents were appointed in many states, and huge qnantities of cattle were bought. Slaughtered and sold throughout -the country in violation of both quota and price regulations. State OPA headquarters nounced this week that a special bulletin of instructions for retailers handling the foods in the meat-fat-cheese rationing program are now available at local rationing boards. The bulletin warns meat retailers to be sure the slaughterer’s license number is marked on the meat “in order to guard against unsanitary slaughtering and other black market practices.” The bulletin also outlines full Information on meat-fats-cheese rationing, and £ives the retailer specific instructions on his obligations and duties under the

It explains that each retailer handling the foods in this program most keep a record of all sales of these foods made during the week of April 25 through

May 1.

In discussing the schedule of ration periods, the bulletin emphasises that while a different series of red stamps oecomes valid each week, each series remains valid until the end of the month. For example, the red A stamps became valid on March 29, and the red B stamps on April 4, but both A and B stamps remain good for use until April 80. The same applies to the red C stamps which become valid on April II, and the red D stamps which will be good be-

ginning April 18.

Retailers handling the processed foods have until April 10 to register st local rationing boards. They are required to report on the registration form (R-1302) the total number of points they collected from consumers during March, and a point inventory of the rationed processed foods on hand as of the close of business

March 31.

Rationing officials emphas that in computing^ their point inventories retailers will use " present revised chart of point values which became effective

PREPARING THE By Dr. ~ - N. J. College of Agriculture The hardest job for gardening i preparing the soil, if you have > do it. There are two cautions. One is, don't do the Job too soon and don’t try to do too much at one time. TOOLS TO USE First of all, a spade, or as many people prefer, a long handled shovel, is the best tool to use where the soil is in sod or hasn't been worked for some time. For a garden that has been dug recently, a spading fork is a good tool. If they-would only make them with loife handles for long geared people, it would be fine. WHEN IS THE SOIL READY? Of course, you cannot dig when the frost is in the ground, although many inexperienced gardeners will probably try to do so. If the soil is dug before i condition to work it may be made unsuitable for growing good crops. Where the soil is sandy, it dries out rapi<£ ly, but where it tends to be heavy or clayey, if dug when wet, it cannot be broken up and will form lumps which will dry out and be like bricks. There are two very simple tests. One is turn over a spadeful and hit it with the back of spade. If it falls apart readily, it is in condition to dig. Another test is to take a handful and squeeze it in your fist. Then use the thumb of the same hand and try to crumble it. If it crumbles easy, go ahead and

dig.

-Digging is pretty tough work, because it will bring into play muscles that may never have been used before. Therefore, don’t do too much at once, for you will not only have a lame back and sore arms and thighs, but you will not do a good job. The soil must be turned over to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, and when you get tired you may be digging only 6 inches deep, and crops will not do well i prepared to that depth. Greater depth permits good drainage and better root penetration. The better the roots, the better the tops. HOW TO IMPROVE THE SOIL When the soil is in fit condition to work, first spread the manure evenly over the surface and then the lime and - fertilizer required. There is this caution, however. In case you do not expect to dig the entire garden ir one day, apply the lime and fertilizer only to that part you anticipate digging. WHY AND HOW TO DIG As for the technique to follow, that’s up to you. The object is to dig the soil to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, breaking up the soil to provide for rapid drainage of excess water, to permit air to enter, and to allow wide range for the roots for food materials. To do these things, soil must be dug to a uniform depth, turned’ over and the fertilizing and !— proving materials mixed in well_ as you can. The implement or the cutting part of the implement must at all times be vertical to secure uniform depth. Work in a straight Hne. otherwise it will not be workmanlike job. Don't take too big a bite. A 6 or 8 inch bite is enough. If digging sod, cut it first with a spade the width of which you will turn with the spade, throw it into the furrow

and chop it with the spade into

small pieces.

There are two general methods used in digging. The soil from the first furrow is turned out on the undug headland, later to be placed in the last furrow. Then you can either face, the headland or work at right angles to it. Most persons face it. You can take a lesson from the old Irish ditch digger. He did not use his arms and back for the full operation but used his thigh as a fulcrum for a lever, pressing down on the handle.-As you lift a spade or fork full of soil, turn it over quickly so that it is inverted. What had been the top dw at the bottom of the furand then hit it a whack with the tool to cause it to break apart and thus assist in mixing the materials added. After digging, rake thoroughly to fill up depressions and to fine

the soil for a seed bed. NEXT NEEK: Laying Out the Garden and Sowing Seeds.

Problems that cannot be solved locally will be referred by him to your County Agricultural AgCnt).
