Good Results In
War On Worms
Poison Sprays and Bait
Puts up Stiff Opposition
Against Pests.

The sugar beet web worm infesta-
ton which has occurred in Pine coun-
ty as well as most other counties in
the state, is meeting with lot of
opposition. Farmers who followed
the recommended ocedure of
spreading poison bait or spraying
such crops as rutabagas, etc., have OBJ
tanned very good results.
Good Results From Bait Poison.
All crops like rutabagas should be
sprayed or busted as this method
seems to be a little bit faster, al
though good results have been re-
ceived by spreading poison bait.
Many report very good results with
the poison bait. This bait is made by
mixing four pounds of Paris green and
100 pounds of bran together and add
ing two gallons of black strap mo-
lasses which have been diluted with
six to eight gallons of water. The
bran and the Paris green should be
mixed dry, and the water and the
molasses should be mixed together
and then the water with molasses in
it mixed with the bran. This bait
should be spread at the rate of 10 to
Is pounds per acre.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Again one hears coming from all
corners of the world the question:
What is Hitler waiting for? Why
does he not carry out his oft-re-
peated threat of attacking England
in earnest? Is he bluffng? Or could
it possibly be that he is actually be-
coming afraid?
There is no answer yet, but there
is a supposition that he may prefer
an iron-bound blockade to assault.
That, however, was a bit upset the
other day when word came that COM
munications between German-occu-
pied and unoccupied territories had
been cut, and that the continental
Channel ports had been closed to in
and outgoing traffic; in many quarters
these actions were considered a pre-
Jude to the big attack. But then,
again, one never can tell about Hitler;
what he is thinking; what he is plan
ming. His persistent silence in such
matters is on par with that of men
who were geniuses in the field of
warfare and diplomacy.
Repeated Rumors.
Some student of the philosophy of
history has squeezed out of his re-
searches the statement that every
thing runs in circles, and that even
rumors come and 60 in cycles.

International News Review

Thus with the now repeated story
that Germany again has offered Great
Britain the opportunity of beginning
peace negotiations, this time allegedly
with King Gustaf of Sweden as 60
between.
The only strange thing about
this rumOr is that it is denied in
Berlin, in Stockholm and in Lon
don, and the still queerer detail
is that it is, nevertheless, sup
posed to have originated in Berlin
where authorities now deny it.
Probably this newest peace rumor
is trial balloon, and it also may be
another attempt to place on England
the responsibility for the continu-
ance of the war.
Terms.
Despite denials, the story was re-
plete with terms of peace as Hitler
is reported to have concocted them:
Great Britain was to quit all partici-
patton in European continental af-
fairs; the Cameroons and the former
German East Africa were to revert to
Germany; Belgian Congo was to be
coded to Hitler, and in return he
would undertake-Hitler would!-to
guarantee British possessions against
the still ghostly, creeping phantom of
yellow danger"

Large Housing Job

H. B. Kilstofte of Winona, former
Askov contractor, was the successful
bidder on a $782,82O housing project
in San Antonio, Texas, and work is

Courts dwelling apartments, is the
largest ever received by the firm and
will provide work for about 800 men
for year. 1t covers six city blocks
and includes the erection of 40 large
buildings and 384 apartments of REIN
forced concrete and tile, together with
all walks, streets and other improve
ments.
A number of former Askov men

Late Blight Adds
To Farmers Woes

After combating drouth, grasshop-
pers, worms and other crop enemies
the past summer farmers must now
be on the lookout for late blight
in potatoes. In Pine county, as in
other points in the state, the blight
has made its appearance and farm
ers here have been spraying their
crops to fight the disease. Instruc-
tons sent out by the county agents
office recommends spray made by
using copper sulphate and hydrated
lime, five pounds of copper sulphate,
five pounds of lime and SO gallons
spray material.
For a dust the mixture is made by
using 20 pounds of monohydrated
copper sulphate and eight pounds of
hydrated lime as this is to be used as
a dust.
Either mixture is satisfactory if
both sides of the leaves are given
a good covering and are kept covered
with the material until frost or until
the potatoes are ripe. This will mean
spraying or busting about every 10
days or two weeks depending on the
rain and weather, but the extra eff
fort that this takes will be amply
paid back by increased potato yields;
and in case this would be a blight
year, it would mean the difference
between a good crop of potatoes that
will keen well and a moor crOp of
potatoes which will rot in the bin.

Inmates Lose To
Askov In Finale
Close, Exciting Game Last
Thursday Brings Regular
Schedule to an End.

In the final game of the regular
Twilight D-Ball League schedule last
Thursday night, Askov defeated the
Inmates at the Correctional Institu-
ton by the score of 3 to 2. 1t was
the Inmates first loss in league play
this year.
An Exciting Game.
The game was replete with thrills
from the start and while Askov held
the upper hand all the way, it had to
fight hard in the last two innings to
hold the lead to the finish. In the
sixth frame the Inmates made their
two runs by home run with a man
on the bases. In the last inning, with
one away, the Inmates pitcher hit a
lofty fly which fell safely for triple,
but the threat was ended when the
next batter popped out and the other
famed.
FinlaysOn Loses.
Finlayson engaged the Inmates in
a contest Tuesday evening of this
week and came out second best, II
to 5. The game was tied at Sail at
the end of the regulation seven in
nings and two more innings of play
were necessary to decide the winner.
In the ninth the Inmates turned
loose their heavy artillery, mixing in
two home runs with an assortment
of other hits to score six times and
take the game.
Playoff Contests Soon.
The dates for the League cham
pionship playoffs have not been set
to date as there are still a number
of postponed games to be played in
order to determine the top four teams.
However, the league management
hopes to have these games out of the
way soon. The Inmates will not take
part in the championship contests be-
cause all their games would have to
be played at the Correctional Insti-
tuition and no outside spectators
would be allowed.

JUST A SUGGESTION
TO THE BOARD

May we offer one suggestion to
the Board of Supervisors? We are
humble in our advice, knowing
that it will by no means solve all
OF the knotty problems. We offer
our idea in confidence that it will
remove some strain and give the
members a fair chance to deliber-
ate.
Our suggestion is that the pub
lie keep from within the bar of the
courtroom when the Board is in
session. Stroll into the courthouse
some day when there is a Board
meeting going ON. Some interest
ed party will be whispering his
claim into the ear of one member.
TWO or three people will be tug
ging at the sleeve of another mem
Der. Papers are being showed to-
ward another. Some orator is
squared off at onother part of the
table, making a speech about some
thing or nothing. Under such con-
ditions, the work that is done has
to be done in a sketchy manner,
and the session ends with no mem
Der knowing exactly what has
been done.
1t is unfortunate that our court
house does not have a room for
the Board of Supervisors. The
Board meets in the courtroom, and
the only way to distinguish mem
Der is by his harrassed look. If the
public were kept at arms length,
we believe the members would not
be under a strain and that the
Board could act together las a de-
liberate unit.
