Work Started On
Pine City Depot

Work on the new depot at Pine City
will begin next week with plans for
the completion of the structure in
September. j. R. Sweitzer and Son,
contractors of st. Paul, have the con-
tract for erecting the new building
and excavation for the basement is
under way. The cost of the depot
will be in the neighborhood of $50, 200
when completed and will be on a par
with the depot at White Bear Lake.
The construction of the new depot
was made necessary by disastrous
fire which occurred on September Is,
1910, when derailed oil cars caused
a fire that completely destroyed the
old structure. Since the fire, depot
facilities have been provided by a
box car fitted up to house the ex-
press and freight business. Con-
ditions have been very crowded and
Agent Wallace D'Aoust and John
Gray will be very glad to have more
room and modern facilities.

Credit Association
Volume Shows Cain

Farmers of Pine county helped to
bring the loan volume of the Pine
City Production Credit Association
up to July this year to $129,62O,
according to H. E. Cragun, secretary
treasurer
A large share of the $98,328 loaned
during the first six months of the

operations of Pine county farmers.
The 1941 figure is $12,919 over the
1910 figure for the same period.
Reports from all over the nation,
the production credit official said, in
dictate that some time during July
some farmer or stockman somewhere
in the United States will receive the
two billionth dollar to be loaned by
a production credit association.
Since the Pine City Association
was organized by farmers in the
spring of 1884 it has loaned 81 1897 ,48O
to finance general farming and live
stock operations in Pine, Carlton,
Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec, st. Louis,

Hog Prices Soar
ToHit New High
Fresh Upturns Measure
Csc; Steers Mostly Steady
While Lambs Hold Firm.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, July 8, 1871:
A sharply higher trend early this
week in the hog division sent prices
generally Is cents higher. All weights
and classes of slaughter hogs shared
in the upturn. Another new high
since October, 1887, according to the
Federal-State Market News Service,
was established at S10.75, paid freely
for good and choice $50 to 240 pound
barrows and gifts. Bulk of the good
and choice 100 to 27O pound hogs
moved Tuesday at $1,000 to SLOTS,
with similar grades 27O to 800 pound
offerings making $1,000 to $10.65, and
weights from 300 to 400 pounds get
ting Stops to $1,000. Good sows
under $50 pounds sold mainly at $40,
with scattered heavier weights at
$3.50 and 1895. Feeder pigs were
steady, the bulk clearing at $10.75 to
Sill.
Slaughter Steers Hold Steady.
Slaughter steers scaling 100 pounds
down sold dependably, prices gen.
orally holding steady. Instances on
yearlings were stronger, but on the
other hand, weights above 100
pounds were unevenly weak to Csc
lower. Other slaughter classes held
mostly steady. Stockers and feeders
were in light supply and mostly
steady. Vealers ranged steady to soc
lower. A load of choice 500 pound
mixed steers and heifers set the
weeks top at SLIPS, and there were
choice 1101 pound and 1890 pound
steers at Sill. Bulk medium to good
steers brought 1925 to S1025 with
medium grassers to killers at SO.
Choice heifers sold at $1,000 to $10.75.
Good stock steers brought $10.25.
Lambs Are Firm.
Scattered instances of 10c to Csc
higher money have been recorded on
spring lambs, but it was largely a
steady affair for bulk of the crop
and also for slaughter yearlings and
sheep following the holiday period.
Eastern dressed lamb centers were
a shade stronger today, marking the
first upward turn in around ten days.
Washington spring lambs were mark
eted freely, the two-day arrival post
ing approximately 40 car loads, these
chiefly of good to choice grade.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

In responsible quarters in London
the talk turns more and more toward
the possibility of British invasion
of the continental countries now held
by Germany. Many feel that the
time is more opportune than ever
before, at moment when Hitler has
chosen to be heavily engaged in his
war with Russia, and the single fact
that his bombers have left the Brit
ish Isles undisturbed for some weeks,
might indicate that he does not have
enough of them to cover both the
British and the Russian front at the
same time.
Under these circumstances, it
is highly possible that the inces-
SAINT British bombing of German
and German-held cities now in
progress is prelude to an actual
invasion of the continent; but, of
course, the British have perfect
ly good reasons for preserving
silence about their plans.
The interesting fact, however, is
that you hear now great deal said in
England about crossing the Chan
mel in an effort to crush Hitler on
the Atlantic coast of Europe.
Russian Campaign.
For it cannot be denied that he
seems to face in Russia a much stiff
fer resistance than he had expected
when he, without warning, invaded
that country on June %. On the
other hand, one must realize that it
is impossible to form a correct picture
of the situation for the reason that
official and unofficial reports are so
obviously and Intentionally mislead-
ing that they can in no way be be-
lieved. The only way in which one
may arrive at something that looks
like correct conclusion is by piec-
ing together stray bits of informa-

Issue Wheat
Marketing Cards
ToCrowersHere|
Quotas Will be in Effect on
All F arm S on Which
Wheat is Raised.

In an effort to place wheat market
ing cards in the hands of all wheat
producers before harvest, the Pine
county AAA committee is taking
steps to set up machinery to handle
this new phase of the farm program,
Melvin Anderson, county AAA chair
man, announced recently.
Marketing quotas will be in eff
feet on all farms on which wheat is
raised, Mr.. Anderson stated, adding
that as soon as wheat acreage on
farm is measured, marketing cards
can be issued.
Marketing Card Necessary.
If seeded acreage is not larger than
the wheat acreage allotment, or Is
acres, a marketing card will be issued
permitting all wheat produced on the
farm to be marketed without penalty.
In order to market wheat on farms
on which are seeded Is acres or less
of wheat in 1941 or those on which
the normal production of acreage
planted is less than 200 bushels, it is
necessary to have marketing card,
which will be issued only upon re-
quest.
If measured acreage of VIII e
seeded is in excess of Is acres and
the acreage allotment, excess acres
must be taken care of before mark
citing card can be issued.
Disposing of Excess.
Mr.. Anderson points out the follow
ing ways the excess wheat may be
disposed of:
l. Payment in cash of 40 cents a
bushel for the excess to the county
AAA treasurer and receive market
ing card permitting sale of all wheat
2. Deposit with the county treas
urer 40 cents a bushel on the excess
to be held in escrow to the growers
credit. The excess wheat under this
plan must be stored on the farm and
if it cannot be shown on demand,
the money reverts to the United
States treasury.
3. Deliver the excess wheat to a
bonded warehouse and secure ware
house receipts for the surplus. The
grower, under this rule assumes all
responsibility for storage charges.
Receipts under this plan must be de-
posted with the county AAA treas
urer.
May Post Bond.
4. Posting bond equal to 40
cents bushel for the excess wheat
with the county AAA treasurer. The
wheat may then be stored on the
farm or in a warehouse.
5. Turn the excess wheat over to
the Department of Agriculture and
receive marketing card for allotted
wheat. This wheat will be distributed
by the department to the Red Cross
and like agencies.
6. Haul the excess wheat to the
elevator and sell it with a 40 cent
penalty. The county committee will
then give the grower a marketing
card to sell the remainder of his
wheat.
Mr.. Anderson explains excess wheat
stored under bond or under loan to
the Commodity Credit Corporation
may be disposed of in following
years by seeding under the acreage
allotment.
