People 0f Sicily Were Kept In Dark B-y John A. Moroso Assouated rress War Corres- pendent SOMEWHERE IN SICILY. July 2i -luelayedt -— (AP) —'Ialks I have had with Italians during the last few days have given me a viv- id picure o1 how hard lite was un- oer Mussolini and they have left mg with the impression that Italy will soon quit the war. Sicilians told rne that Italy itself would be easier to conquer than this island. because the Sicilian terrain is more difficult and be- cause Italy is def-ended mainly by young soldiers. They said most of the veterans had been sent to Rus- sia and France. The people said that when Muss- olini faced an Allied invasion he ilo-cded Sicily with propaganda and little else. Modern weapons had been sent’ io Tobruk earlier in the war and never replaced. Sicil- ians were not told that Tunisia had fallen. Farmers in Sicily had a difficult time. although their crops of wheat olives, fruits and grapes were plen- tiful. Permitting the farmers to keep a small part of their produce. the fascists bought much of tho rest of it at '75 per cent below mar- ket. value and tcok a third of their income as well. The peo lc were amaud at All- ied amp-h blous operations. They could not understand how the All- ies had learned in advance about undefendsd beaches and the locat- icns of batteries which were wiped out by ships shCOllng in the dark. They said they had been told that Axis submarines were sinking all Allied ships. Thlls the appear- ance of so many ships off the sic- ilian coast had a terrific tinder- mining effect on the defenders‘ morale. New Pay Schedule For C.W.A.C. OfITAWA.

July 2'1—(CP)—LalJ- or Minister Mitchell announced tonight he had telegrabllfid U“ premiers of the provinces Satur- day asking ctr-operation with the Dominion Government in the plan to place soldiers from army units stationed in Canada at seasonal l farm work. The plan, announced by Defence Minister Rnlston in the Housemf ‘Commons Saturday. was worked olut with Col. Ralstotfs co-nDera- ton l Mr. Mitchell said there had not been time for all the provinces to . reply to his offer but those which ihad replied favored the plan, H: .added that he hoped the provin- cial governments would undertake the scheme on a 50-50 partnership . basis with the federal government.- | His telegram to the provincial, I premiers read:_ “The Departments of National Defence and Labor arc working on a plan which would permit the detailing of certain men in the army in Catiada to farm labor. This is in addition to what. is eommuni" known as compassionate farm leave. The plan under con- sideration contemplates rlutailinr: of men to specific farms. and dur- ing the period so detailed their pay and allowances in the army would be continued Proposed Plan "1t is proposed that the plan be worked out under the existing Dc- minioti-Provinclal Farm Labor agreement and that the DTOVIIICOR share in the responsibility and ad- mlnistrative expense. It has been suggested that the soldier would be paid in addition to his army pay and allowances the difference between the amount charged to the farmer at a specific rate and the pay and allowances which the soldier receives from the army. “Under the Dominion-Provincial set-up we would require to collect the amount owing by the farmer and pay it to the National Defence department. Under no circumstan- -ees could a soldier collect it.....” Under the plan, it is proposed that farmers will be invited to ad- vise the governments of their lab- or requirements. Requirements will be passed on to the army, and district officers commanding will direct army personnel to proceed to the farms to fill the vacancies. While the soldiers will remain un- der military discipline and orders they will work for the farmers in the same manner as civilian farm workers, ASKS FOR 400 Hope of obtaining up to 400 sol- diers to help Prince Edward Island farmers under the Ottawa plan was voioed yesterday by Premier J.

"This Province. especially east of Hunter River, has the best crop in history and it must be saved." he said. ' The troops will receive their regular army pay and will also be paid by the farmers. Thev should receive from $30 to $40 per month with exceptionally good men gei- ting as high as $50 per month with board. the premier suggested.

The following statement has been issued. out- lining the best corrective meas- res: Farmers in the province may have noticed a peculiar yellowing of the 11012.10 plants during the past few days, The trouble has been diagnosed as Magnesium de- ficlcncy. a disorder brought on when the supply of this chemical fails in the soil. The leaves of the infected plants are very much lighter in colour than the lZreen of healthy plants, the larger leaves being the first to show this symp- tom. Loss of normal color begins at the tips and margins of the low- ermost leaves and progresses be- tween the veins. toward the centre of the leaflets. In the more ad- vanced stage the central area of the individual leaflets becomes chlorptlc between the veins and eventually is marked with small dead patches. brown in colour. The loxver leaves of plants thus lacking magnesium are brittle, a characteristic which will disting- uish them from leaves yellowing normally with age. In the more severe cases. pract- ically the entire plant is affected. These plants are chlorotic and stunted with upward rolling of the lower leaves which develop a marked bulging between the veins, besides being thick and brittle.- Finnlly these sick leaves turn brown and die. falling away from the stem. _ Un r ordinary circumstances. mngmsium deficiency may - prevented by applymg H 1118211551" um compound to the soil. such as dolomltic limestone. a 11102095111111 potash fertilizer or some othet nmgnosium compound.
