MAIL BOXES TOO NEAR ROAD
Are Menace to Safety Some Places,
Saws Watson

A warning to Kansas farmers on
placing their mail boxes along hard
surfaced highways has been issued
by the federal postoffice department,
according to State Highway Engi-
neer NJ. w. Watson. Engineer Wat
sons notice stated that accidents
have been reported from a number OF
localities in the state, as a result of
farmers placing mail boxes too close
to the roads. The Kansas highway
department was the first to report
such accidents to the federal depart
ment, as a result Of which the post
Office order was issued. The ruling
follows:
ssIt has been brought to the atten-
ton Of the department. that It Is the
pracice of some posmasters and rural
carriers to insist that the boxes Of
rural patrons shall be erected near
the edge Of the crown Of hard sur
faced roads. 1t Is the experience
that boxes so located are an obstruc-
ton and dangerous to traffic and
seriously interfere with the operation

SPRING LATE THIS SEASON
Potato Planting One Thing Which
Is Delayed

The firmly established precedent
of planting potatoes on Saint Pat
rick's Day, March II, went awry this
season. Potato planting, like prac-
tically all other spring farm work,
Is from three to four weeks behind
time this season. The continued wet
weather has not sufficiently alter
mated with sunshine to permit the
the fields to dry out. The weekly
crop report of the state board OF
agriculture enumerates that on four
days Of the preceding week general
rains fell over much Of the state,
especially the eastern third. This
series was followed by a statewide
rain Of April 2-3.
Particularly the oats crop Is get
ting a tardy start. Some farmers,
especially those in the southern coun-
ties, got their oats in early in March,
and count themselves lucky. For the
continued rainfall has brought the
oats along in fine shape. The win
ter wheat crop also was highly fay-
ored and was reported doing fine in
the east half of the state.
