Spray Now For
Blight Control

A recent communication from R.
c. Rose, extension plant pathologist
at the University Farm, indicates that
late blight of potatoes is spreading
rapidly in some potato areas. He
says that the next week or two will
be critical. So far no potato blight
has been reported in Pine county, but
with the large amount of moisture
and cool nights, blight may make it's
appearance here at any time.
Immediate spraying with Bordeaux
spray, if it has not already been
done, is recommended Although some
of the copper spray materials have
been reported difficult to get most
dealers have supply of copper sui
phate. County Agent Clyde P Shum-
way advises that this should be
mixed with very fine grade of hy-
drafted lime at the rate of four
pounds of copper sulphate and four
pounds of lime to so gallons of
water.
A copy of Folder 116, giving full
details for controlling late blight, may
be obtained from the county agents
office at Sandstone.

New Contracts For
Lamb Pelts Filled

Pine county sheep raisers have been
advised not to shear lambs for the
shearling pelt market because 1943
contracts have been filled and the
army air corps has drastically re-
duced its requirements for 1914.
County Agent Clyde P. Shumway
explained that lambs and yearlingS
which have already been shorn for
the program, will get in under the
new contract.
Shearling requirements for 1914 are
now put at 100000 square feet,
compared to the April estimate of
100000 square feet of shearling pelts
per month. The army air corps and
the navy have agreed to take this
quantity out of current shearling pro-
duction.
To stimulate demand and use for
domestic shearling pelts, the WPB is
not authorizing importations of for
eign skins and is taking steps to re-
move the restrictions on the use of
shearlings for civilians. The demand
for shearlings in sheep-lined cloth
ing and in fur coats for women may
give some support to the market for
the winter of 1943-1944.

Olsen Warehouses
Sold To Henriksen

In a business transaction COM
pleted this week, the rutabaga and
potato warehouses and equipment at
Askov, owned and operated by the
late Louis Olsen the past quarter CEN
tury, were sold to A. Henriksen.
Possession was given at once and
MIR. Henriksen, who has also been
in the produce business here about
25 years, is now getting his newly
acquired property ready for this sea-
sons use.
Upon the death of Mr.. Olsen in
May, Mrs. Olsen and son, L. Byron
Olsen, made plans to continue the
business under the same name but
because of poor health of the latter,
and inability to secure anyone to
take over the active management they
were forced to sell.
A large number of contracts had
been made with growers for deliv-
cry of rutabagas at the Olsen ware
house this fall and these contracts
will now be taken over by Mr.. Hen
rikSen.

FSA Farm Loans
Again Available
Passage of New Agricultu.
raj Appropriation Bill As
sures Adequate Funds.

Rehabilitation, tenant purchase, and
farm enlargement loans are again
available through the Farm Security
Administration to Pine county farm
ers who want to do their part to
meet the nations war food produc-
ton goals, according to Mr.. Paul H.
Beeman, Pine county FSA supervisor.
Designed to assist small farm oper-
ators to produce to capacity, Farm
Security loans are available to those
who lack the necessary credit or
financial resources to put into max
imum wartime production their land,
equipment and labor supply.
Supervised Credit
The No. l job of FSA, an agency
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, is to bring into full production
the resources of the small farm
operator through supervised credit.
For several months prior to the close
of the fiscal year on June 80, FSA
was temporarily "out of funds. How
ever, funds were again made avail
able to meet the credit needs of the
small farmer with the passage of
the Agricultural Appropriation bill
for the fiscal year 1943-44.
Stressing approved farm and home
management practices, including bet
ter livestock, use of purebred sires,
improved sanitation and better feed
ing practices, FSA supervisors work
towards the complete rehabilitation of
the farm family and their restoration
to the ranks of high producing, finan-
cially independent farm operators.
Aiding War Effort
"a survey of Pine county indicates
that there are numerous farmers who,
lacking the necessary credit, are not
making their greatest possible contri-
button to the production of wares
sential foods" Mr.. Beeman said.
with adequate credit and helpful
planning these farmers too can con-
tribute their full share to the war
effort"
All applications for FSA loans are
reviewed by a committee of three
operating farmers and the FSA super
visor. Applications for loans in Pine
county may be made at the local
FSA office located at Pine City.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

The week began with string
of rumors which mayor which may
not have some foundation in facts,
and which all have to be taken with
a big dose of salt, to begin with;
it would be stupid to deny offhand
that this is not necessarily one of
those cases where fire precedes smoke
and, on the other hand, it would be
unwise to become optimistic about
what is said. All one can do is to
read or listen calmly, and to admit
the possibility of either truth or
untruth.
1t was around the Nazi high
command that most of the rumors
centered, and it was h n d
through ever SO many mysterious
channels that Hitler's military
advisers were about to demand
that he retire from his post as
Germany'S ''Fuehrer".
One is we'll advised to remember
that similar rumors have been
abroad before, and that nothing came
of them. But on former occasions,
the situation was entirely different
from what it is now - with Nazism
tottering on the edge of an abyss.
Peace Demands.
Coupled with the reports about
possible change of leadership came
a crop of stories to the effect that
the German peace movement is grow
ing by leaps and bounds, and that it
becomes more and more evident that
the people are sick and tired of the
war.
There is, of course, no way Of
checking up on these rumOrs, but
there is the element of possibility
since Hitler is losing all the time,
and since the Germans have to
keep on sacrificing their man.

United Nations. 1t would be only
natural that people like the
German, after four years of con-
slant suffering, would like to

have the war ended as soon as
possible, especially because every
German realizes that Hitler can

have the war ended as soon as
possible, especially because every
German realizes that Hitler can
not possibly win now.
Perhaps he himself understands
that, but is too stubborn or short
sighted to want to admit it.
Dark Background.
While rumors may be fleeting and
unreliable things-facts are tangible,
and, in this case, they make the sit
uation look pretty dark for Hitler.
First of all - in Russia, after
weeks of bloody and costly fighting,
he has had to surrender the strategic
ally important city of Orel. This was
very bitter defeat - one that can
hardly be explained away to the war
weary Germans.
Then there was that other major
blow - the surrender of the Sicilian
city of Catania, defended so strenu-
ously by the Nazi troops. At the
moment of writing there can be NO
doubt that the Americans, the Brit
ish, and the Canadians are getting
ever closer to Messina, and when
that city falls, all of Sicily will have
been wrested from the Axis.
Finally, there was the important
defeat which Hitler's Asiatic ally suf-
fered on the island of New Georgia
when, few days ago, the Americans
drove the japanese away from the
Munda airfield.
These three United Nations
victories, announced almost 81
multaneOusly, served to empha-
size the fact that Axis military
power is waning, and that it is too

Vermont Law On
Billboards Being
Studied In State
Minnesota individuals and
Organizations Interested
i'm Ruling.

Minnesota individuals and organi-
zations interested in highway safety
and roadside Identification are study
ing a recent unanimous decision of
the Vermont state supreme court, up
holding the right of the state to reg
ulate or prohibit roadside advertis-
ing.
A summary of the decision, issued
by the National Roadside Council
and quoted by state highway bulle-
tin, emphasizes the following points:
A billboard erected on private land
in order to be seen and read from
the highway is a use of the highway,
and is subject to regulation as such,
like any other use of the public high
way.
Right of View.
An important right of the abutting
landowner is the right of view to
and from the property, from and to
the highway; that is, his right to see
and to be seen. This right, like the
right to ingress and egress, and the
right to light and air, is for the abut-
ting lands own benefit only. There
is no right to use the highways for
commercial purposes.
While the private landowner has
an inherent right to maintain ordi-
nary business signs and signs of a
like nature relating to his own prem
ises, he has no inherent right to main
tain billboads advertising business on
other premises or commodities hav-
ing no relation to his own land or
to business conducted thereon.
May Not Lease Land.
Having no such right himself, the
abutting landowner has no right
which he can rent out to another.
He has no property right whatever
to lease his land for an ordinary
billboard. Insofar as he does so, he
does it upon the mere sufferance on
the part of the state and the COM
munity.
Such prohibition is not taking of
property without making compensa-
ton. No constitutional rights are in
volved, such as the outdoor adver-
tising industry has been claiming.
The property rights asserted by this
industry are simply non-existent.
Farmers with roadside stands SELL
ing their farm produce are in one
class and the billboard men in an
other; and accordingly there is no
arbitrary discrimination when the
lot, ir, cf ~
ute) permits the farmers to main
tain signs in places where they are
absolutely prohibited to the billboard
men.
Quotes Philippine Law.
In support of the finding that use
of private land for billboards is
use of the highway, the court quotes a
decision of the Philippine supreme
court which said that "the success Of
billboard advertising depends not so
much upon the use of private property
as it does upon the use of the chan
nels of travel used by the general
public.
Suppose that the owner of private
property :. . should require the ad-
vertiser to paste his posters upon the
billboards SO that they would face
the interior of the property instead
of the exterior. Billboard advertising
would die natural death if this
were done, and its real dependency
not upon the unrestricted use of pri-
vate property but upon the unre-
stricted use of the public highways
is at once apparent. Ostensibly To-
Gated on private property, the real
and sole value of the billboard is it's
proximity to the public thorough
