This is a fine idea and will greatly great-ly improve the appearance of the mail route as well as the individual indiv-idual boxes, which will 'be painted white and lettered in black. This is also a golden opportunity lo have other mail boxes on the route painted and lettered, if the girls can be persuaded to undertake under-take the job. And they have indicated in-dicated they are willing to do so. The ten club members are Linda Walker, Kathy Johnson, Annette Moody, Karen Moody, Judy Turner Annette Bunker, Bai'bara Jackson, Virginia Done, Rhea Erickson and Dana Kay Ogden. Arrangements may be made with them to make the improvment on the mail boxes. It is suggested that patrons weed around the box, so that the girls will not have to chop their way in. Also they should see that the box has door and flag, ready for the paint. Delta Postmaster June Black recently re-cently made hiss annual inspection tour of the rural route, with Verl Allen, mail carrier, and noted some places rather shabby. There were leaning boxes, and faded ones, and some minus flag or door. He is holding his monthly report on the condition of mail "boxes on the RFD until after the improvements are made.

Advise Check of Fall Grain Fields Against Stinkbug Are you checking your fall grain fields for the infestation of the Say's Stinkbug? We are 'finding large concentrations of this insect in West Millard County. This is the most serious infestation infesta-tion since 1952. They were first noticed not-iced coming from hibernation, particularly part-icularly on last yearsRussian thistle. this-tle. From the thistle they have been moving to the mustard weed, and as the fall grain starts out of the boot these fields should be watched very closely. This insect is rather hard to kill, expecially in the adult stage. At the present time the county and chemical distributers have been conducting experiments on the control. A 110-acre tract of Russian thistle was sprayed at the rate of lqt. of dieldrin per acre by the following farmers: Clark Draper, Garland Johnson, Gerald Moody, Floyd Tolbert, Lavar Owens and Morris Brothers. The chemical was put on by the Del-Aero Service. With this amount of chemical very good kill was noticed. not-iced. Apparently one and one third pts. to a quart of dieldrin is sufficient, suf-ficient, depending upon plant growth.

O. C. McSHANE .22 Wounds Boy h Gun On Camping Hike Kenneth Tolbert, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Allen Tolbert of of Delta, was wounded early Monday Mon-day afternoon when he 'fell and the .22 rifle he was carrying discharged and shot him. The accident occurred just north of Delta, where Kenneth and a companion Larry Peer, with a pack-laden burro, were hiking to the country for an overnight camping camp-ing trip. Mrs. Ladd Black was first person to drive by and brought the bleeding- boy into the Delta hospital and took word to his mother. At the hospital it was learned that the bullet had lodged under Kenneth's lower rfb, and had pun ctured the lower lung. His con dition was considered serious, and soon after he was taken to a Salt Lake hospital by, his uncle, Floyd Tolbert, accompanied by the boy's mother. His father, out of town at the time, joined them there later. In Salt Lake it was learned that the boy was not as seriously injured in-jured as had been feared, and the bullet was not removed. So Kenneth Ken-neth is expected home in two or Vhree days, slightly heavier perhaps, per-haps, with a bullet sealed in his innards. Menace Moving In actual toxaphene per acre should control these bugs on small grains if they become severely infested during the milk stage. We are experimenting at the present pre-sent time with toxaphene to see if it also has a repelling effect. Farmers planning to raise first crop seed should get their bug nets out to check their fields for infestation of Lygus bugs. Lygus nymphs have been multiplying at a rapid rate during the past week.
