w. S. Grahl brought At5ftlThe
Courier office last Saturday a straw
berry plant that he had justi taken
up from his garden, the plant having
on it a fine, large ripe berry. Neither
the plant nor the berry showed any
signs Of having been affected by the
recent white frosts. Mr.. Grahl about
a year ago bought, as an experiment.
those four plants he now has about
variety Of strawberries, and from
those fou rplants he now has about
a hundred ready for setting out. He
intends to give them fair trial, and
the present indications are that they
will prove to be all that is claimed
for them. The main crop Of these
berries ripcns in October and No
vember. They are Alaskan berries,
and are climatized in Alaska.
The public will please take note
of the fact that all packages sent
through the mail must be securely
wrapped and tied before they can be
insured. The Postof1ce Department
cannot make itself responsible for
packages which are insecurely wrap
ped and tied. Postmaster Fant in
forms us that a number Of packages
are dropped into the package mailing
receptacle with nothing more secure
than ordinary sewing thread as the
means Of tying up. Consequently
many packages are unwrapped and
in bad shape before they are even
ready for putting into the mail sacks.
A little care ani thought IN this mat
ter will save untold trouble to the
post Office employees and insure the
safe delivery to the parties for whom
they are intended.
