Says Postmaster Urging
Public To Do Mail
ing Early
'It fa the early bill that catches
‘ h * check,” Vaid Postmaster I). F.
^ft^enport today in stating that n
"mail early” campaign has born
launched by the local postoffice in an
effort to educate the patrons to de-
S t their mail early or alone dur-
the day every day, instead of
ing until night fall.
Americus people* are urged to de
posit their mail in the office prior
to. four o'clock in the afternoon. The
largest amount of matter is mailed
between 4 and 6 and consequently
the office ia flooded. In order to
avoid the congestion the people are
VfWfd to mail before 4 o’clock.
JShrly mailing insures that letters
Will be routed over the quickest pos
sible time route, whereas late mail
ing may cause a delay in the delivery
of the matter.
’'Mail early” campaigns have been
launched in many of the large cities
of the country, and have proved to be
successful.

vines will give a few more potatoes
than will draws or slips. This may
be explained by the fact that vine
cuttings produce a cluster of pota
toes from two or more nodes of the
part set while the plant forms only
one cluster, and neither has time to
become crowded or reach full de
velopment. Another advantage de
rived from the use of vine cuttings is
the production of potatoes nearly
frce.from disease. The much dread
ed ’’black rot” of sweet potatoes lives
largely on the roots of the plants.
Thus when vine cuttings arc used,
and planted on noninfected coil, that
is soil which has not grown sweet,
potatoes for several years, the dis
ease is largely eliminated/*

The new adult curculios have

self-boiled lime-sulphur to keep the

from damagaing thc crop. The ap

expected, and there is no reason for
