so Tons OF Scrap
Collected At AskOv

Over so tons of scrap metal, 100000
pounds.
That's Askov's contribution in the
recent junk rally day, and coming
from the trading territory of viii
lage of only 312 souls makes fine
addition to the national drive.
Beginning early Saturday and
continuing until well after dark, the
junk was brought in by truck, wagon,
car and trailer, in coaster wagons,
nail kegs and pals, in small por-
tons of a few pounds, up to truck
loads of thousands of pounds.
Nearly all the scrap was dumped
on the loading platform near the
Askov depot and will be shipped as
soon as a car is obtained and loaded.
The Askov American Legion post
has volunteered to assist with the
loading work, and others will also
help. While all the metal can not
60 in one car it is planned to ship
only one now and others from time
to time as more scrap comes in.
Lunch was served during the aft
ernoon and evening junk rally day
by the Askov chapter of the Amer
lean Red Cross which realized pro-
fit of about $28 for it's share in the
drive.

Bond, Stamp Buyers
Get Free Admission

To help promote the sale of war
bonds and stamps, the Lake Theatre
at Moose Lake will show Holiday
Inn" Thursday, September "a, the
only admission being purchase of the
bonds or stamps at local banks or
post offices. Anyone in the trade
territory may attend. Information
may be obtained from the banks and
post offices or other war bond and
stamp agencies and only bonds and
stamps purchased between now and
next Thursday will count.
The movie, a first class feature
starring Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby
and an all-star cast, was shown in
the Cities during state fair week.
The picture itself has no connection
with the bond and stamp drive.
Admission to movies through pur-
chase of war bonds and stamps is
but one of the many methods being
used to push the sales of these items.
Quotas in Minnesota have not been
met in recent months and unless
sales pick up soon the government
may find it necessary to enforce in
crease sales through payroll deduc-
tons, etc. Purchase of the bonds
and stamps not only help the men
in service by providing equipment
and supplies, but also helps to sta
billie the home front through saw
ings, lessening the danger of infla-
ton.

Price Structure
On Steers Upset
Liberal Offerings at Key
Points Weaken Market;
Losses l5c to Csc.

South st. Paul, Mimi, September
Is, 1912: Prices on slaughter steers
and yearlings turned decidedly weak
er at the start of the new week.
While local supplies were not unduly
heavy, liberal offerings at some of
the key points tended to upset the
price structure. Losses here for two
days measured 15c to Csc; cows and
bulls held close to steady. Two loads
choice 1923 pound steers sold at
$15.75 on Tuesday, but bulk of the
run for the two days fell into the
medium and good grades and brought
$3.50 to $14.50. Good 1900 pound
western grass fat steers sold to kill
ers at $3.50 and other medium grade
kinds moved at $1,000 to $1,000.
Good and choice granted heifers
were taken at $13.75 and $14.00.
Good western cows cleared at $1,000
to S11.00, while common and medium
natives brought $3.50 to $3.50. A
spread of $500 to $500 took most
Gamers and cutters. Good heavy
bulls topped at $11.00. Vealers were
steady to SOC lower. Good and choice
stocker and feeder steers held steady,
while common and medium kinds
were weak. Choice 638 pound feed
er steers cashed at $13.25, with bulk
medium and good $10.50 to $1,000.
Hogs Advance.
An unevenly higher trend in the
hog division saw prices advancing 10c
to zoe with sows up most. The
top on Tuesday reached $14OO, while
bulk good and choice ITO to 300
pound hogs cleared in spread of
$3.50 to $14.00. Similar grades 800
to 400 pound weights, while scarce,
cashed at $3.50 to $3.50. Good
sows under 500 pounds bulked at
$13.55 to $13.65, with odd head ex-
IRENE heavies at $3.50. Stays cleared
mainly at $13.75 to $3.50, and feeder
pigs held steady in a range of $3.50
to $14.25.

By GEORG STRANDvOLD

This week it was exactly one hun
dred and thirty years since Napo-
leon arrived at Moscow, then as now
the capital of Russia, at the head
of an army of 10000 men-the pitt
full remnants of phalanx which
originally had comprised 100000 SOL
diers of the Grand Army of the
French Empire. Hoping to crown his
magnificent career with a triumphant
entry into Moscow, Napoleon arrived
to find city in flames, a city aban-
doned by all of its more than 100000
inhabitants, with the exception of
some street loafers and hospital patti
ents, city from which all arms and
munitions had been removed, city
from which all art treasures had been
carried to safer places. At Moscow
the mighty would-be conquerer of
the world reached that tragic turn
ing point which eventually carried
him to Waterloo and st. Helena.
On that occasion, the Russians
inaugurated what we now know
as the ScOrched- earth tactics:
Destroy your treasures and your
cities rather than let them fall
into the hands of the enemy!
In modern times China has adapted
that method, and the British used it in
Burma and Malaga not so long ago.
Now the Russians themselves apply
the torch to everything they hold
dear in and near Stalingrad, feroci-
ously besieged by the Nazi armies.
Fall of Novorossisk.
There are at Stalingrad brief Rus
sian successes, but-in the main
the enemy is coming ever closer to
the city, and it is not thought by
any expert observers that it will be
able to defend itself effectively UNI
less help comes from the outside
Such help is not in sight.
To the Russians it was a bad
blow that their Black Sea port
of Nov0rossisk fell the other day.
That fact gives Hitler part of

that mastery over Russia's southern
outlet to the waterways of the world
which he had coveted for such
long time.
Second Front.
No, there is no outside help in
immediate sight for Russia, but not
very many days ago President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill
in forceful speeches made it clear
that a general offensive against Hit
Ter had been decided upon, and that,
of course, would involve aid for Rus
STA, direct or indirect.
The sudden violence of the
British, American and Russian
bombing of Germany's import
ant industrial centers indicates
that the widely discussed second
front, perhaps, has opened, and
that the general offensive may
have started on its preliminary
path.
Also, it must of necessity mean
something that the military author
tiles at Washington release informa-
ton to the effect that 100000 Amer
lean soldiers are now overseas-not
all of them in Europe, but, it seems,
most of them. They are not there
without a definite mission!
Other Fronts.
A heavy veil of silence has en-
veloped the campaign in Egypt for
some time now again; it does not
necessarily conceal preparations for
new activities, but means, rather,
that the Nazi forces of General Field
Marshal Rommel have been immo-
bilized by the British and the Amer
leans. Rommel has been chased back
to the point in the vicinity of Ell
Alamein where he started his latest
offensive short time 60, and it does
not seem very likely that he soon
will resume his attempt to reach
Alexandria, the Nile, and the Suez
canal.

Blight Creating
Storage Problem
For Potato Crop
Weather Conditions Dur
ing August Favorable for
Spread of Disease.

The widespread occurrence of late
blight on Minnesota potato fields
during late August has created a
problem that may cause heavy losses
in storage unless the crop is care
fully handled and stored under good
conditions. County Agent Clyde
Shumway states that weather condi-
tons during August have been SO
favorable that the disease got very
early start and spread so fast that
by the third week in August most
fields had blight in some degree.
Continuous rains made it difficult
to get best results from busting and
spraying, nevertheless, many of the
more persistent users of copper spray
and dust kept their fields green much
longer than those who were less thor
ough or who did not use copper
fungicides.
Affects Crop Two Ways.
Late blight affects crop of pota-
toes in two ways: CD By killing
the plant it stops late season growth.
(2) The amount of loss from rot is
not always practicable under aver
age conditions found on many farms.
In the second case, there are some
things that grower can do to hold
his rot losses to minimum.
The procedure generally recon-
mended after a field has blighted,
says Mr.. Shumway, is as follows:
Let the field die and become thor
oughly dry before digging. This will
reduce the possibilities for live spores
from leaves falling on the freshly
dug tubers and developing rot later.
Potatoes should be picked up when
thoroughly dry.
Use Hay or Straw Cover.
If potatoes are pitted in the field
Immediately after digging, they
should. never be covered with potato
vines. Use hay or straw for cover.
All tubers with visible signs of
rot should be sorted out before plac-
ing potatoes in storage.
Keep storage room dry and as
near as possible to So F. to prevent
spread in bins.
For next year some growers may
want to try the new Sebago variety.
It has more resistance to late blight
than the more common varieties, but
it is also late variety.
