Inspectors under, Commissioner of
Agriculture L. S. Brigham have just
completed the first field inspection of
potatoes for which application was
made for seed certlncation. The
number, something over $50 fields, is
much larger than that of any previ-
Gus years since the project was start
ed and manifests large development
of interest in the plan. That this in
terest is justified Is shown by the
number of growers from the great
Long Island and New Jersey potato
regions who come TO this state to
look up a source for their seed sup
ply, a situation resulting from the
very high standing which Vermont
seed potatoes have made both in eX-
pelimental plots and commercial
llelds in those regions.
H. II, Talmage, one of the largest
and best known growers from River
head, Long Island, who has just
made his annual visit through the
state for the purpose above mention
ed, speaks very encouragingly of the
conditions this year, especially in
finding but a small percentage of Mo
sale disease. He visited fields in the
vicinity of Rutland, Brandon, Roch-
ester, Randolph and Corinth, paying
particular attention to the fields Of
the Randolph Potato Growers AS
ISOLATION which aggregate nearly 100
acres.
Although a small percentage of
fields were necessarily eliminated
from further consideration, owing to
varietal mixture or disease, the in
spectors report the general condition
of the potatoes as good. Loaf rool APP
pears to be most prevalent disease,
and all growers, whether of inspected
fields or not, are advised to eliminate
weak plants from the plots from
which they expect to prune seed
stock. Such plants are likely to be
infected either with leaf rool or Mo-
sale, both Of which are transmitted
through the seed.

Lies Master-Key.

Lies master-key is personal pos
session. It's yours to use. It's your
estimate Of yourself plus sufficient
initiative to bring ideals to pass.
You're bound to be questioned and
discounted at every turn. Others have
the same mental concept of their
worth as you do. It's your job to
show them who Is most fit. No, you
needn't begin that old quarrel about
the survival Of the fittest. Life knows
mercy as literature more than it does
of conduct. Natures laws are just,
impartial and irrevocable. They know
neither sex nor social position. He
who by instinct works with them wins,
he who does the opposite fails. When
opportunity steps into view you must
grasp the forelock or join the great
army of those who spend the time in
regrets and those who sigh, IF had

It was about the middle Of the sew

use of horseshoes as emblems Of good
luck originated in England. They were
at first deemed a protection against
witches and evil spirits, and were
nailed on doors of houses, with the
curve uppermost. 1t was the belief
that no witch Or evil spirit could en-
ter a house thus guarded. The GUS
tom of mailing horseshoes to ships and
other sailing craft is still in vogue in
all English-speaking countries. To find
q horseshoe with an odd number Of
nails attached to 1t is considered the
forerunner Of good luck, and the more
nails the greater the good fortune that

CITY HAS LONG BEEN DEAD
Tiahuanaco, in Bolivia, Collection Of
Ruins Of Which Even the lncas
Knew Nothing.

One Of the numerous cities claiming
the title oldest city in the world"
is Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca in
Bolivia. A thousand years ago, say
the scientists, Tiahuanaco was as dead
as 1t is today, and that is practically
all that anybody knows of its history.
Even the Incas, who hold q record for
antiquity in South America. admitted
to their first Spanish visitors that they
knew nothing about ,Tiahuanaco, ex-
cept that it was very probable that
the stone images scattered over the
ruins were the people of the city turned
into stone by some angry god.
There would be nearly as much OF
the old city visible today as there was
in the time of the Incas, had not the
stones been SO attractive to the In
dams of nearby villages. AS it is,
beautifully carved idols have gone to
decorate the door fronts of humble cot
tages, and polished stones to prop up
chimneys and pave floors. The little
modern village of Tiahuanaco, near the
ruins, is full of stolen souvenirs. Whole
houses and churches are built of them.
After several centuries of this plum
der the government of Bolivia put q
ban on removing stones from the ruins,
but there was then little left of old
Tiahuanaco. A few stone gods as
huge and angular as any deities of
Egypt, the sites of fortress, a palace
and many tombs, all vaguely marked
by worn carved stones are scattered
over great desolate plain Yet from
these battered relics with their cryptic
carvings the psychologists hope some
day to reconstruct the story of mys-
terious people.

crowds collect at the residence of the

At five o'clock his hlghness enters, ac-
companied by members of his family
and his staff cannen are fired, the pc
culiar bands of the East play suitable
airs, and the chief captain announces
that the hour of sacrifice has arrived,
and that his highness, after prayer,
will be present at this act. All then
adjourn to the mosque, and when the
sacrifice is over the pasha re-enters
the court, and those of high rank kiss
his hand; the inferior slightly touch

about an hour, when all retire to take
coffee, the captain. thanking the crowd
