Your P.O. Corner
BY K. G. Carpenter, Postlmaster


Benjamin Franklin's birthday
was January II, 1706.
On January IL, 1858 In Wash
ington, D. c. there were cere-
monies honoring this great man.
Besides being one Of Americas
greatest statesmen, Franklin
served in the American colonial
postal service between 1877 and
1774. Then, he was appointed the
first Continental Postmaster Cen
eral July 76, ITS, serving In that
post until the following year
when he left for his important
mission as American Ambassador
to France.
Franklin made many improve
ments In the Postal Service In
colonial America and was pri-
marily responsible for early es-
Establishment Of the groundwork Of
the American postal system.
He visited every American post
office of his day, making i'm
provements and changes. He set
up post routes on a more regular
basis so that service was pro-
vided more frequently and de-
livery service was started in some
of the bigger cities.
Newspapers, without regard to
their policies, we're allowed to go
freely through the mails for the
first time, and at fair rates. In
ternational mail services were
speeded, and the postal service
of the time was rescued from a
demoralizing deficit operation into
one that was financially sound
and efficient.
While Franklin's achievements
as a statesman, patriot and hu-
manitarian may be better known
to some than his achievements in
the postal service, we realize
more and more today as our DOS
tai system serves more and more
people his tremendous contribu-
tons in laying the firm founda-
ton for this greatest service in
world history.

sugar content of the crop, South
wick says.
Wild oats and older seedlings
are more tolerant and may re-
quire a seven to nine pound
application. In rates over six
pounds per acre, there may be
some yield reduction, according
to Southwick.
Dalapon is a systemic grass
killer and works comparatively
slowly, Southwick points out.
There may be a two to three
week interval before sprayed
grasses are dead. If necessary,
thinning may be started a week
after the dalapon application.
"Dalapon fits in well with
the increasing mechanization Of
sugar beet production" South
wick comments. The cost for
chemical grass control is sub
stantially below the cost for hand
labor. The chemical program also
protects the grower from having
grasses take over his field if
hand labor is not available when
needed or if wet weather forces
a halt to hand hoeing and E
field tillage. kZ
