Beautiful Crops in New Guinea Gardens

Staff-Sergeant Earl Lehnetz and Sergeant Paul Carter cultivate 114 acres in New Guinea, harvesting beans radishes tomatoes corn watermelons cucumbers okra sweet potatoes and pineapples with 20 natives. The operation began a year ago by American 41st Division National Guardsmen from several western states, on land formerly a battlefront near Buna. Fertilizer and seed are scarce, while climate enables four to five crops yearly and two-thirds faster growth than home. Lehnertz campaigns on the Australian mainland for seed sacks as his mission continues.
