1t is reported here that some farmers
in this county have used parish green
on their cabbage to kill worms. They
have taken great risk. Parish green
is deadly poison and should not be
sprinkled on any vegetable that grows
upon the top of the ground. In spring
ling cabbage there is danger of getting
enough on one head to kill whole fam
lily.

 Postmaster l.. J. Nickerson, in accord ance with the desire of the post office department, requests that all patrons of the rural delivery paint their boxes and the posts to which they are attached, a pure white, which will not only serve to protect the box and post from damage in bad weather, but will give all boxes uniform color and fix their identity as United States mail boxes. It is also de- sired that patrons imprint their name and box numbers on the box in black block letters about two inches high. Boxes should be set in an easily aocessi- ble position at the side of the road, securely fastened on projecting arm, bracket of band iron or on automatic ex- tension if desired. It is suggested that road officials might make still another improvement by painting on the posts of boxes situated near crossroads (but not attaching signs thereto) the names of towns or villages to which the cross roads lead, with an indicator showing the direction.
