GRINDOL MONUMENTS Eaal Main anal Franklin Street MARKETS Marine Hero Lauds 'Dozers' Hero of Tarawa and Kwajalein battles in the South Pacific areas.

Tech. Sgt. John D. Hight, of the U. S.

Marine corps, last week visited the Caterpillar Military Engine Co. and watched with enthusiastic interest the building of the tractor i which is meaning so much in the fight. "The bulldozer was one of the best offensive weapons we had." he said. "When the big shells from the battle-wagons could not blow up the Jap pill boxes, we buried them under tons of coral and sand. "Several times we saw where a 16-inch shell hit a pill box directly.

The Japs had been at Tarawa and Kwajalein so long that they were able to reinforce the boxes so heavily that the big shells did not even dent them. We stopped the Japs inside by burying the whole thing with the aid of our powerful bulldozers. The trick worked where nothing else would." "We gave the 'Cats' a beating down there. They stood every test and were ready for more punishment. Coral is hard stuff to buck and that is what we used to surface air strips and build roads.

We had sevqral different kinds of dozers but the Cats were the only ones that could take it." Sergeant Hight is here on a 30-day leave with his father. C. R. Hight. He missed by two hours seeing his brother.

Lieut. Charles F. Hight. on Tarawa. Lieutenant Hight landed on the island with the first wave of troops and left just before his brother arrived.

On completion of his leave. Sergeant Hight will report to Quan-tico. Va for ordnance training in repair and maintenance of small arms.

MAIN ST. rhone 5453 Baldwin Letter The wheat crop is proving rather good, but the oats crop probably will be even poorer than antici pated.

according to the weekly let ter from the Baldwin Elevator Co. The text of the letter follows: A blazing sun Wednesday pushed the, mercury to 99 degrees, the highest recorded this year. The mean temperature for June was 76.4 degrees, normal 72 5 degrees: rainfall 2.41 inches, normal 3.62 inches. The high temperature ripened the wheat very rapidly and combining got underway in this central area several days earlier than we expected. The berry is small but the wheat is dry, good test weight and of nice quality.

A wide range in yields are reported. The crop will show a higher average yield than in recent years. The acreage through this central area is small and it will not take very long to wind up the harvesting. Due to the shortage of bedding and the high price offered for straw, there will be a heavy utilization of wheat straw this year. Oats Turning Fast Oats are turning fast: the high temperature with hot winds right at the time the crop has entered the critical period will reduce both yield and quality.

The crop never looked any too promising as a large portion of the acreage was seeded late. In many localities, chinch bugs have played havoc; some entire fields have been plowed up and seeded to beans, while others have been clipped foi hay and then seeded. Not many oats will be marketed through this central section. The hot and humid weather has been ideal for the rapid growth of corn. Prospects are most favorable in localities where rainfall has been ample.

Moisture has been veiy uneven and spotted and the various stages of development of the corn crop reflects this condition. In the chinch bug infested areas, some acreage has been lost to this pest, the corn plowed up and the acreage resceded to beans. Soybean Seedings Complete The country has been far too busy this week to shell and ucliver corn. An extention to July 8 was made for signing corn delivery contracts for the benefit of farmers who have pledged corn to the government, but have not yet delivered or signed contacts to deliver. The WFA ill continue to provide shelling and transportation services to persons already contracted or pledged to sell corn to the govern- Iment.

Therefore, it will be impossible to obtain corn for at.y one other than designated processors, as I no free corn is offered to the trade. 'With most corn tied up under government contract, and the supplies jthat are not tied up moving through trucking channels, feed mixers and manufacturers will find little consolation in the termination of the freeze order. Soybean seedings completed with the exception of the few extremely dry areas where lack of moisture prevents germination. The acreage seeded will probably show a slight increase over that sown last year. The early plantings that got off to a good start are most promising.

The progress of the later seedings reflect the time planted and the 'moisture received. With timely rains along during the coming months, we can still raise a good crop of beans. in cartons delivered New York).
