Rural Box Week
.ToOpen Monday
u. S. Post Office Depart
ment Asks for Neat, Well
Kept Mail Boxes.

This years "Rural Mail Box I'M
provement Week" has been set by
the U. S. Post Office department for
the week beginning May S. In prior
years the aid extended by postmasters
and rural carriers, as well as by per-
sons and organizations outside the
postal service who We're interested
in the replacement of mail boxes
which were not in proper condition
or which were otherwise unsuitable
as mail receptacles, and in the paint
ing of boxes and their supports, has
been deeply gratifying to the de-
partment.
Neat Box Credit to Owner.
Unsightly rural mail boxes detract
from the natural scenic beauty along
highways and are not credit to the
owners of attractive homes served
through the boxes. Rural mail boxes
which are not properly erected or
which are not in good, serviceable
condition retard the delivery of mail
and expose it to damage from the
elements.
1t is the desire of the Department
to encourage patrons of the rural
delivery service to provide entirely
suitable mail receptacles and to erect
them in such manner that they will
be accessible to the carrier and pre-
sent a neat appearance. It is es-
pecially desirable that the boxes be
maintained in such condition that
they will properly protect mail placed
therein, that the names of box own
ers be inscribed on the side of the
boxes visible to the carrier as he ap-
proaches them, and that the boxes
and their supports be kept painted.
Use Approved Boxes.
Patrons who have nonapproved
boxes of top-opening, revolving door,
or other type are not required to dis
card them, provided they have been
in use by the present owners for
several years and are maintained in
good serviceable condition. However,
any boxes not of the present standard
type which are of such design that
they cannot be properly served by
the carrier from his vehicle or which
are not in such condition that they
will protect mail from damage by
the elements, should be replaced with
boxes of approved type.
Boxes, regardless of type, should,
of course be of such design and in
such condition that there will be no
likelihood of the carrier injuring his
hands when serving them.

Discuss Repairing
OfLoop Road Here

P. D. Mold of Duluth, district main
tenance engineer of the State High
way department, was in Askov yester-
day to discuss with members of the
village council the best methods of
repairing the various breaks in the
black-top road through the village.
A temporary patch-up job can be
gotten by with but the entire road
should be re-surfaced and the bad
spots dug out and re-filled.
Mr.. Mold also gave out some en-
couraging information relative to
state roads in this county, stating
that it is planned to re-surface high
way No. % and No. 66 commenc-
ing at the junction with highway 81
and then continue the black-top
treatment all the way to the pavement
at Duluth. It is contemplated that
this work will be finished this sum-
mer. Highway No. 48 from Hinck-
ley to the recreation area is also
scheduled for black-top treatment
this summer.

Stream Trout Season
Opens This Morning

Opening today, the 1941 stream
trout season is expected by the De-
partment of Conservation to be one
of the most promising in a number
of years as result of large paintings
of yearling and two-year-old trout
since the close of the season last
year. In this period 2,373,6 trout
were distributed in Mime o a
streams.
A survey of the states trout fish
ing waters disclosed favorable con-
ditions for the seasons opener. AS
in other years, colder weather in the
north was expected to retard the fly
fishermen's. chances there, bu t
was not expected to crimp flyrod
styles in the southeastern streams.
Milder weather the past few days
throughout the state is expected to
bring out many more fishermen than
usual in quest Of the wary trout.
The fishing licenses this year were
raised to one dollar in the recent
session of the legislature, the old fee
being so cents, but none of the new
permits are available. The new Ii
censes are expected to be printed
within a few days according to Con-
servation c ON m i S oner w. L.
Strunck. In the meantime anglers
will be permitted to use the 1941
50-cent ones but must secure the
new licenses as soon as they are
available, paying an additional so
cents.

Lawmakers Pass
School District
Relief Fund Bill
Would Give State Assist
ance to Districts Dis
tressed by Heavy Debts.

Passed in the closing days of the
recent session of the Minnesota legis-
lature bill sponsored by Repre-
sentative c. G. Mann of Hinckley, and
other legislators from northern Min
nesota will provide for school dis
trict relief fund to give state as
sistance for school districts distressed
by heavy debt.
According to the act any district
having a debt December 81, 1910, of
more than so per cent of its assessed
valuation for that year or over SO
per cent of which is owned by the
state or forfeited for taxes would
be considered a distressed district.
Limit Varies.
Any such district having an as
sessed valuation of less than SIS, 1000
could apply for payment of as much
of its debt by the state as exceeds
33 1/3 per cent of its valuation. In
districts with an assessed valuation
of over $4,000 the limit is some
what higher. Such a district could
apply for payment of as much of its
debt as exceeds so per cent of its
valuation.
Applications for assistance would
be passed upon under the bill by
the executive council. The council
would be given authority to redeem
any debt held in trust funds at par,
and if possible compromise with other
creditors.
Would Issue Five-Year Certificates.
The council is given authority un-
der the act to issue five-year certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness to carry out
its provisions, with a limitation that
not more than $4,000 might be issued
for any one year. Purchases of these
certificates might be made by the
state board of investment for the
trust funds up to the limit of $780,
900. The bill provides that until the
Indebtedness of any school district
receiving assistance is reduced to
less than 20 per cent of its valuation,
the school board will have to file
with the executive council each year
a budget of expected receipts and
expenditures.

Farm Prices Set
In Food Program
Are Not Binding
Are Not Peg Prices Accord
ing to New Secretary of
Agriculture.

Farmers have been asking about
the details of the new food pro-
gram announced recently by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Some OF
the questions that have been asked
are whether the prices that were
announced were minimum prices or
maximum prices or whether the
prices could vary from the prices
announced.
In answering these questions the
Pine county Triple A committee
would like to point out that this
program is an expansion of the ever
normal granary program into food
program designed to assure ample
supplies for the United States, Great
Britain and other nations resisting
aggression.
Will Support Produce Price.
Under the expanded program, says
the committee, the prices of pork,
dairy products, eggs, and poultry will
be supported over the period ending
June 80, 1943, and the farmers will
be urged to increase pork production
by feeding hogs to heavier weights
and by increasing farrowing of pigs;
increase dairy production by feed
ing cows more grain and by milking
more cows; encourage additional pro-
duction of poultry by increasing the
size of flocks.
The United States Department of
Agriculture announces that assum-
ing continuation of existing price re-
lationships and taking seasonal price
variations into account, the depart
ment will make purchases in the
open market to support long term
prices (Chicago basis) at levels ap-
proXimately as follows:
Not Peg Prices.
Hogs, SO per cwt.; dairy products
(basis of butter per lb.), 81 cents
a pound; chickens, Is cents pound; /;
and eggs, % cents a dozen.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard announces that these prices
are not peg prices and were not in
tended to be. It should be UNDER
stood that these prices are not maxi
mum prices and there is nothing to
prevent the prices from going higher.

casion was their twenty-fifth wedding

Garden Rotation
Is Important For
CoodCropYield
County A gent McMillin
Urges Same Care be Given
Garden as Farm Crops.

Most Pine county farmers would
same crop on the same land year
after year, paying no attention to the
principles of good rotation. And yet,
says County Agent Max McMillin,
good farm crops men have a way
of putting the garden in the same
spot for years on end. Lack of ro-
tation is one of the chief reasons why
gardens on some farms have a way
of "fizzling out" in spite of good
care, he believes.
Eliminate Diseases.
E. NJ Hunt, extension horticulture
list at University Farm, says that ro-
tation is probably the most important
step toward elimination of the plant
diseases and insect pests that make
gardening distasteful to many peo-
pie. Old garden ground becomes in
tested, and the same pests will attack
several different kinds of plants.
The early spring herbs and vege-
tables that are most suitable for the
small backyard garden are not as
susceptible to disease as those that
make their most important growth
in the midsummer months. Therefore,
it often works well to put these in
the garden plot close to the kitchen
door.
Suited to Machine Cultivation.
On the other hand, crops such as
tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, cab
bage, beans, peas, sweet corn and
potatoes will usually do best on ro-
tation ground some distance from
old garden plots. These same crops
are also we'll suited to cultivation with
horse and tractor implements.
Hunts recommendation is, there
fore, to have two gardens, small
one close to the house for early vege-
tables and flowers, and larger guam
tity production plot on good soil,
possibly in connection with a corn
field.
