Treat Early For
Tomato Diseases

Leaf spot, blossom-end rot and
the tomato plants that Minnesota
gardeners are to watch for, County
Agent Clyde P. Shumway warned this
week and urged growers to protect
plants at once. Briefly the various
treatments are as follows:
Leaf spot-Spray or dust with a
copper fungicide as preventative
measure. Copper fungicides avail
able as sprays or dusts may contain
copper oxide, tri-basic copper sui
phate, basic copper sulphate and
similar compounds. Material to be
used as spray is in concentrated
form and should not be used as a
dust, while the dust is too weak for
spray. Bordeaux mixture and
copper lime dust should not be used
on tomatoes. Leaf spot can be recog-
nized by the presence of small dark
spots on leaves which turn yellow,
then dry up and fall off.
Blossom-end rot-If water is avail
able, keeping the plants supplied with
uniform amount of moisture may
help. This disease affects the bios
som end of the fruit about the time
the fruit begins to ripen.
Tomato mosaic, indicated by yellow
nothing of leaves - Keep weeds
down, avoid handling plants, and if
only few plants are affected remove
and burn them to prevent further
spread.

Slaughter Cattle
In Early Decline
All Hog Classes Show First
Advance i'm More Than
Week.

Food Distribution Administration
July l3, 1943: Practically all classes
of slaughter cattle slumped sharply
on Monday. Steers lost 15c to Csc,
while cows and heifers were weak to
Csc lower. Bulls maintained indie
pendent strength and held steady.
Tuesday the trade moved slowly, but
prices were about steady Choice
weighty steers topped for the week
at $15.85 and bulk of the good and
choice offerings moved at $14.O0 to
$3.50. Some choice heifers touched
S14.65, load lots making $14.50.
A spread of $1,000 to $11.5O took
most common and medium beef cows,
a few good cows ranging upward to
$780, Gamers and cutters moved
generally at $3.50 to $3.50. Bulls
grading medium and good bulked at
$11.50 to $l3.75. Vealers sold steady,
top choice $780, with good and
choice at $14.00 to $3.50. Stock
cattle continued to meet very mar
row demand. Odd lots of medium
and good stock steers were steady
at $1,000 to $3.50, few touching
$l4.0O.
First Advance in Week.
All classes in the hog division
opened Monday on IS cents higher
basis, this being the first advance
scored in over week. Tuesdays
market was again higher with a
gain of 10 cents noted on all classes;
thus placing current values mostly
Is cents higher as compared with
last Friday. Good and choice bar
rows and gifts sold late at $3.50 to
$3.50 but the latter price was gen.
orally confined to 180 to 270 pound
weights. Good sows made $1265 to
$12.85. Feeder pigs also advanced
25 cents, good and choice kinds clear
ing at $3.50 to $13.75.
The weeks opening sheep supply
was slightly increased with the ar
rival of four loads of Washington and
Oregon ewes and lambs in addition
to three decks of Dakotas. Prices
were mostly steady except for in
stances Csc lower on ewes. Scat
tered small lots and odd head good
and choice spring lambs sold from
$14.75 to $500 while the bulk good
and choice shorn yearlings with No.
! and skins brought $3.50 to $13.75.

Meat Committee
Checking Permits

The newly formed county meat
committee, will as one OF its first
activities, require evidence of slaugh-
er as set forth in applications for
permits that have been granted by
the County War board.
In a letter recently released the
committee has advised all holders
of butchers and local slaughter per-
mits the nature of evidence that will
be accepted.
The committee is authorized to
consider evidence such as records of
purchase of live animals, sales of
hides, by-products and similar items
that would indicate actual slaughter
performed.

International News Review

When on November 8, last
year, it was reported that huge
American army had landed in
North Africa, the world UNDER
stood that here was, probably,
the beginning of the invasion Of
Hitlerized Europe.
1t took the Americans and the
British, supported by some French
divisions, almost exactly half year
to drive out all the Nazi and Fascist
soldiers of Africa, and when that
had been accomplished-early in
May, this year-it was made defin-
itely clear that real events soon
would be on the march.
The Big Moment dawned on
Europe in the early moonlft
hours of July 10, when American,
British and Canadian troops
landed on the Italian island of
Sicily.
The action was one in which army,
navy and air corps were welded into
one irresistible unit.
PreparatlOnS.
AS said, the weeks opening of a
new Nazi offensive in Russia was
surprise. The invasion of Sicily was
not. 1t had been expected, and it
had been most carefully prepared.
Day after day and night after night
American and British bombers had
attacked cities on the island, demol-
ishing plants and Notifications so as
to weaken resistance when the land
forces were to arrive. Also, time and
again, the Italians had been warned
that unless they withdrew from the
war, their country would face most
terrible fate.
Whatever the italian people may
have wanted to do about quitting
the war, Mussolini did not want to
stop, so the unhappy land is now
becoming one of the huge, bloody
battleields of Europe.
Not Far From Rome.

Groups
Make Plans For
Years
Commissioner HI @ finn a II
Urges Local Units to Back
Own Projects.

A Federal postwar highway con-
struction plan in which Minnesota
may receive between $75,0O0,O0O and
$80,000,000 for road work in the
three-year period after the war, if a
bill now before Congress becomes
law, was outlined last week in St.
Paul by State Highway Commissioner
M. j. Hoffman in an address to the
State Association of Rural Letter
Carriers.
Commissioner Hoffman urged coun-
ty and local governments to get into
high gear with the preparation of
engineering plans for their own spe-
cific projects if they expect to be able
to participate in the nationwide
highway Improvement program.
Advance Work Done.
Advance engineering work on sur
veys and plans for postwar projects
aggregating approximately $2O,50O,-
600 worth of road and bridge con-
struction, has already been accom-
plished by the State Highway depart
ment, Commissioner Hoffman said.
1t also has prepared agreements with
the large cities which will facilitate
their going ahead, with their NUM-
cipal engineering staffs, to prepare
plans for trunk highway improve
ment projects within their metro
politan limits.
Approximately $12,0O0,OOO of the
anticipated postwar Federal high
way funds is expected to be avail
able, under terms of the bill (S-971
and H. R. 2426) pending in Congress,
for Improvement of rural roads off
the state trunk system These funds,
together with $4,0O0,O0O which the
counties would be required to fur
nish on 25-75 matching basis, would
make it possible for Minnesota to
accomplish a S16,O00,OOO program of
improvements on important local
highways.
Bill Endorsed.
In accordance with provisions of
the tentative bill, which was sub
mitted by and has the endorsement
of the American Association of State
Highway Officials, in the neighbor-
hood of $4O,OO0,0OO in Federal funds
would become available to Mime
sofa in the first three postwar years
for necessary improvements on rural
state trunk routes, and some $25,-
100000 for needed road and street
construction in urban areas, includ-
ing the larger metropolitan centers.
So far as the state trunk system is
concerned, Commissioner Hoffman
said, Minnesota is in a favorable
position to take full advantage of the
opportunity to meet many of its more
pressing highway improvement needs.
This is due to the Highway depart
ment's progress in preparing surveys
and plans and to the fact that $10,-
100000 of state highway revenues,
not required during the past two
years while Federal restrictions vir-
tually shut down normal highway
construction, has been invested in
government war bonds and set aside
in the state treasury where it con-
stitutes a Postwar Highway Con-
struction Reserve fund.
On the other hand, although sew
eral counties already have followed
suit in establishing postwar finan-
cial reserves, it is doubtful whether
many have thus far made any great
progress with surveys and plans for
specific projects. The latter, Com
missioner Hoffman pointed out, will
be absolutely required and must be
in readiness before any county can
participate in the special postwar
Federal aid program.
