Postage Rate Changes Hit Newspapers and Farm News
The new second class postage rates based on a zone system go into effect this week. Rates range from 1 and a quarter cents per pound in the first zones to 3 and a quarter cents in the eighth, complicating mailing for county papers and likely forcing cash in advance. The farm update notes strong garden truck growth, favorable July and August weather, and a predicted record crop if winds stay calm. A local note mentions a special at the Commercial Hotel on Friday and Saturday July 29 and 30.
