POTATO GROWERS WARNED
Against Using Foreign Grown POta-
toes for Seed Purposes

Commissioner of Agriculture John
p. Buckley has been sending out to
Maine farmers the following state
ment in regard to the use of foreign
grown seed potatoes, prepared by
Sec'y Healey of the Connecticut de-
partment of agriculture, and which he
says should attract the attention of
the potato growers of Maine as well
as those of Connecticut:
Large quantities of foreign grown
potatoes are being received in this
country. Their fine appearance and
reasonable cheapness, in comparison
to home grown, is a strong tempta-
ton for many of our farmers to use
them for seed. Don't do it. In
testing more than 100 varieties our
national department has proven that
they do not equal home grown seed
as producers. The great danger, how
ever, Is in introducing several new
diseases as yet unknown here. The
most dreaded is the 'wart disease"
The danger for these is not limit
ed to a single season as soils once
infected remain unfit for potato cul-
ture for many years.
SUMMARY
Foreign-grown potatoes should I'M
der no circumstances be used for
seed potatoes.
Such potatoes are not adapted to
our soils and climate and will not
return profitable yields.
Several serious diseases not now
prevalent in this country are almost
certain to be introduced IL such stock
Is used for seed"

that Germany is planning an aero

Floridan.
Five feet, Z inches of belligerency
is Clark. His bulky broad shoulders
arc in the thick of every fray He
has snappy, black eyes, sunk deep
under bushy eyebrows, and is crown
ed by thick, unruly shock of black
hair, slightly streaked with gray. He
is the typical southern statesman, too,
| in his black Prince Albert suit, low
collar and black string tie.
Just now Clark is in the limelight
for his expose of alleged land frauds
in the Florida Everglades, and his at
tempt to get Solicitor McCabes official
head
Clark is also famous for his organi-
club, by sarcastically suggesting that
all democrats seek advice on every
subject from William j. Bryan. A
message from Bryan on the steel tariff,
advising the democratic representa-
tiyes, caused Clark to attack the Peer
less leader Now the club has form
ally organized and its members wear
buttons in derision of Bryan.
Reading of George Washingtons
farewell address in the house on
Washington's birthday is another dis
tinction of CLARK. He suggested read
ing of the document, declaring former
republican houses had refused to thus
honor the Father of his Country.
Speaker Clark ordered the Floridan
to read it, and for an hour, until he
WAS hoarse, Clark read the historic
paper.

Even when, on visit to the city

resentative from Latah county and the
democratic leader in the house,
found the legislative hall converted
into an examination room for school
to the occasion, says the Boise States
man. He left the serious minded flu

Morgan strolled casually into the
room. But for the scratching of the
teachers pens, the hall where furi-
Gus bursts of oratory and learned de-
bate are sometimes heard was as
quiet as the tomb. The clock licked
audibly.
The strangeness of it all was too
much for Morgan. Just inside the
door he stood rooted to the spot.
But the presence of a mere man eX-
cited the school marms, and presently
about half of them had turned
around to discover who was the in
