Assured Of Site for Farmers
Potato Warehouse

A permit for a site on the To-
cal industry track has now been
received for the farmers potato
warehouse. The site is 100 feet
along the track and 48 feet deep.
The association, according to
their secretary, J. j. Barritt, will
now be known as Askov Produce
Association. This was the name
given when application was
made for industry track site and
can not be changed without some
delay, hence the acceptance of
the name. Specifications have al
so been received for the buildinq
which according to the secretary
will cost $1,000. It will be a
frame building. They are now
waiting for bids on lumber after
which building operations will
be commenced.

Recruiting Officer for Minnesota
Receives Word to DiscOn.
tinue Temporarily.

Word was received August 9Th
by Major John d. Yost, Recruit
ing Officer for the Minnesota dis
trict. from Washington to discon-
tinue all voluntary enlistments
in the U. S. Army, pending the
passage Of the new draft act, re-
quiring the registration of all
men between the ages of Is and
As years Of age.
This order will put a stop to
all recruiting in the state for the
time being at least. Until furth-
er orders are received. however,
Major Yost states that his re-
cruiting machinery in the state
will not be disturbed. Civilian
Recruiting Committees which
have been Of inestimable value
to the Recruiting officer in this
district and have helped materi-
ally to make Minnesota the envy
of all other recruiting districts,
will merely remain inactive un-
til further orders are received.
Strenuous efforts were re-
4
quired to put the Minnesota dis
trict in the position 1t now holds,
and if recruiting for the army is
resumed in the near future. the
Civilian Committees organized
by Major Yost in all parts Of the
state will be ready to 90 back ID
work with renewed efforts to
make up for the time lost. Ma
jor Yost is more than proud Of
the organization built up in Min
nesota for army recruiting pur-
poses, it has added over 5000
men to Uncle Sans fighting
forces in the past eight months,
and he does not propose to dis
rupt his machine until II is alb
solutely necessary.
Cooperation and infinite hard
work are the secrets Of the sue
cess obtained in this district, and
the same efforts will Be put forth
again by every army recruiting
agency in the state when the
word is given.

Bureau.

Crops over the county are
looking very well except hay.
which is unusually short in many
localities. This hay shortage is
rather general thru the northern
half of the state.
Keep only such an amount of
stock as you can feed well. If
the feed supply is short or linn
tied, what you have will make
you more profit thru a few of
your better animals. If you have
plenty of roots and silage and
some oats and barley to grind
you can afford to buy some hay
to keep your normal size herd
over. If you have to buy every
thing to make a good ration, it
is better to Gull your herd down
to the size Of the food supply
and not buy very much feed.
Feed buying is eating up too
much of our cash income.
This condition will be overcome
when we plan our cropping sys-
tenn so as to have an abundant
supply of roots or silage and oats
and barley to grind to go with
our coarser feeds like hay and
straw. All Of these feeds grow
unusually well in. this climate,
and we can make very profitable
rations from them.
Farm Tractors.
In Pine County a few farm
tractors are in use. From d very
comprehensive survey Of the
cost of operation of farm trac-
tors in various parts Of the coun-
ty, it has been found that they
are a good source Of farm power
on farms cultivating 13O or
more acres, and when they are
run by the owner Of some mem
ber of the family who are care
full operators. The actual cost
per acre for this power is not
materially less than horse pow
er. TIE main advantage comes
in getting the work done by one
man and at the proper time.
A national wheat reserve must
be created. We can do it from
our exceptionally large crop this
year by practicing even more
rigid economy in the use of rye
and wheat. Only those in a po-f
sition to know can say how near
ly we came to scraping the ma
tional wheat barrell absolutely
clean this year. A food reserve
is absolutely essential for the

Pleads for Firms.
The Stockholm government
has transmitted to Washington
a memorandum concurrently
signed by the Swedish, Danish
and Norwegian governments ask
ing the American nation to aid
famine sufferers in Finland.
Pledges were offered by the
three Scandinavian countries
that no food from America would
be allowed to fall into the hands
of the Germans or to aid Ger
many in any way. The note pre-
sented to Washington declares
that the Scandinavian govern
ments have acted only after be-
ing urged as brothers to do
something for the Films.
Exports to Denmark.
An official Danish statement
from the end of July records the
result of the commercial nego-
tiations between Denmark and
Germany. The agreement regu-
lates the import of coal, salt, iron,
steel, shipbuilding materials,
certain chemicals, potash, chlo-
ride of lime, stearine, turpen-
tine, benzine, paraffin, lubricat-
ing oil, red clover seed, sugar
