To Plant only Inspected Seed.

All potatoes shipped into Wisconsin
this spring, either for seed or table
use, and very much of the seed stock
grown in the state, viii be carefully
inspected
This is part Of plan which has
been adopted to keep out of Wisconsin
certain tuber diseases which are pres
ent and threatening the potato grow
ing industry in portions of Canada and
some of the Eastern states.
On account of the prevalence of
powdery scab. the United States de-
partment of agriculture recently de-
clared a quarantine against potatoes
grown in one of the leading potato
growing states of the Union. To pre-
vent the spread of the disease into
other states the government officials
will maintain a careful inspection
service throughout the quarantined
territory, and Wisconsin will still fur
Their safeguard one Of its most rapidly
growing industries by maintaining spe-
clal inspection service.
Wisconsin now has a reputation for
producing clean and disease-free seed
stock, which it's leading growers and
plant specialists are determined Il
shall retain To this end the college
of agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin is cooperating with the
United States department of agricul-
ture in an endeavor to have only
sound stock planted this spring. Lab
oratory tests of all suspicious samples
will be made under the direction of l..
r. Jones. specialist in plant diseases
at the college of agriculture. By this
means 1t is hoped that accurate infor-
nation as to the extent and amount of
scab diseases in the state will be
gained.
Plans are also under way to inspect
the shipments of new potatoes from
the South which arrive early in the
season and may contain germs of OBJ
jectionable diseases. Even II used for
the table, potatoes bearing disease
spores are likely to spread the infec,
ton.

information is being sought and
statistics are being compiled Of the
estimated present expenses of working
girls. These statistics will show not
what the girl would like to have or
should have, but what she actually
gets.
A typical estimate of expenses for a
year has been compiled by Miss Glen.
ora Camp of the free employment
office A measer average estimate for
years board and room is $16S. OF
course many would say that this Ia
too small. This would allow $3.50 a
week. or SO cents a day, for food, and
one dollar week for the room. Board
and room of course are the chief
items.
The estimate for clothes for the en-.
tire year Is conservatively placed al
Sl25. This would allow nothing but
the bare necessities and would exclude
all fancy dressing
The laundry bill, allowing so centz
week, would total s25 for the year
The doctor and dentist bill is placed
at five dollars.
Contributions to a church or soci
ETY. is placed at one dollar
Spending money. including the cost
of amusements, is placed at 30 cents q
week, or SIS during the year
If the girl is fortunate enough to
have vacation during the year, her
expenses are placed at $40 for one
week, which includes fare, board
room etc. Ingenious planning, a la
Ladies Home Journal. would be re-
quired to manage on this allowance
Incidentals are placed at $25, which
is an absurdly small estimate. For
example, If the girl had ride on the
car, spending 10 cents every day, the
expense for the year would total
$3.50. The incidental fund therefore
which includes the thousand and one
methods in which money might be
spent, extravagantly or necessarily
amounts to less than seven cents a
day.

Treasury Fund Increased SOS, 1000.


The state treasury funds were
boosted to the tune of $4,000 when
check Ne $3.50 of the Northern Pacific
railroad was turned over to Secretary
of State John J. Donald and by him
to State Treasurer Henry Johnson
This sum was declared due the state
by the supreme court following a suit
filed against the company by the
state. The credit fox the discovery
of the fact that the Northern Pacific
railroad had made stock increases by
resolution instead of In the usual
manner and that no fee had been paid
the state under the stock and bond
law, belongs largely to Corporation
Clerk Joe Edwards The matter was
first called to the attention of Mr.
Donald by Mr. Edwards and Harvey
Hewitt made the first legal investiga-
ton and worked out the case. After
the company had been warned to pay
the sum of $205,000 fees in full for
the issues, Attorney General Walter
owen started suit
The supreme court ruled that the
first issue of stock, made before the
Wisconsin act was passed. need not
pay the fee demanded for filing at this
time, but that the second issue must
be paid for.
The check was on the Continental
& Commercial National bank of
Chicago and was signed by s. A.
Casey, treasurer.
