WRITES NEWS
OF BATTERY B
Mike thinner, of Tony, Brings
Down Hun Aeroplane,
Writes Geo. Nc
COriSOn

Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. McCorison have
recently received some very interesting
letters from their son, George, who is
in France with Battery "B" of the
120th Field Artillery, the Rusk county
battery.
In letter of Aug. Z, he says "We
are having lovely weather. It>rains
every day, but at night the Dutch make
it real warm for us. The Dutch got
two of our balloons just now. The
anti-craft guns made it pretty warm
for the two Dutch planes but both got
away. None of our air-planes were
around"
Battery B must have done it's full
part in pushing the Germans across the
Vesle river early in August, for George
writes:
"We are in a very live sector now
and the Dutch show some fight. We
put them across the river last night.
We are progressing slowly now, but,
Gee! we did travel for few days. We
were going so fast that the Dutch
could not stop long enough to put their
artillery in action, so you can imagine
how fast we showed them back"
II heard that Vinton Moore was
killed.
81 was tickled to death to know that
Frank was in the navy
1--WE have had several gas attacks
lately, but we passed through them
easily.
On August -, he writes that 1.-THE
fighting is not as heavy as it was some
time ago, but the artillery still keeps a
man awake at night. Progress has
been a lot slower lately than it was
earlier in the drive, when the 32nd
division broke all records for rapid ad-
vance,
"A Dutch plane destroyed one OF our
balloons yesterday, but while he was
doing it an American aviator beat it
over their lines and picked off bal
loon and plane, so we are not doing SO
bad"
Frank Zimmer, of Tony, is ma
chine gunner for the battery and he got
Dutch aerOplane the other day"

Potato Market.
Every potato grower would be
glad if the County Agent or
some other person could tell him
just when to market his pota-
toes each year so as to get the
highest price. But that is i'm
possible. One thing is true and
that is, when a man dodges
around from all fall marketing to
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1918-10-03

all spring marketing or vice ver-
ca accordingly as he thinks the
price will be, he will miss his
mark a little oftener than he hits
it.
The best rule for every potato
grower is to think back, over n
five or ten year period and esti-
mate the average spring and fall
prices that he has received to-
gether with the average potato
production for that period. He
should then determine his own
plan of selling all in the fall, all
in the spring. or half in the fall
and half in the spring. BY do
ing this and continually follow
ing whichever plan he adopts he
will come the nearest to the best
market price year after year.
The best estimates we can get
for August lst. this years pro-
duction is 800 millions for the
United States compared to 442
million bushels last year and 800

Points on Ponitry Raising.
Have the henhouse clean and
well ventilated, and furnish the
flock with plenty of fresh water.
PulIets should be put in warm
clean quarters early in the fall.
The farmer who will raise the
right number Of chickens the
right way will be paid well for
his troubles.
| If given the right attention,
chickens will give as large re-
turns as any other farm product.
All small weaklings should be
culled from the flock as early as
possible so as to save feed and
give more vigorous birds more
room. Select cockrels for next
springs breeding at this time.
None but strong vigorous birds
should be selected.
