Madison-"The demand for state IN
speeted potato seed will be far greater
than the supply" says J. G. Milward
of the Wisconsin Experiment station.
Certain southern states, such as Texas,
Oklahoma. Louisiana. and Arkansas.
have difficulty in raising their own
seed potatoes and are dependent on
outside sources for their supply. Since
Wisconsin leads the United States in
certified seed work, Southern potato
growers naturally turn to Wisconsin.
Wisconsin farmers who have certified
seed for sale had their fields inspected
during the growing season. The sec.
ond state inspection, or bin inspection,
is going on at the present time. If
the potatoes meet the experiment sta
ton standard, certificate is issued to
the grower.

wealthy Romans maintained beautiful
villas. Herculaneum was more OF
business town. We know very little
about Herculaneum, but today we
,aay walk about the streets OF Pom
peii and get pretty fair notion OF
what the place was like.
Pompeii was overwhelmed by show
ers Of volcanic ashes-hot. fiery stun
that drove the people out OF the city.
There was plenty of warning and not
very many lives seem to have been
lost Crowds were taken of the beach
in ships. BY day there was darkness
as of night. illumined only by the
glare of the volcano. and the panic
must have been frightful.
But the ashes did not wholly bury
the town. They fell deep enough
only to reach the second stories Of the
houses. or not much more than that.
Pompeii was destroyed. but in recent
years the task of digging 1t out and
uncovering most OF 1t has not been
too difficult or arduous to he worth

Herculaneum. on the other hand.
was buried beneath a flood OF lava
fr ON the burning mountain. 1t Is to-
day entombed in solid rock, and to
disinter It is n practically hopeless
proposition. Besides. the molten
food must have destroyed it.

ready for delivery to customers. Each
loaf was stamped with the bakers
name.

From the Washington Star
 ~ ENAToR BANKHEAD and the late N Senator Martin had as legislators much in common. They were doers rather than takers. Both talked well and persuasively, but seldom in the Senate chamber. They reserved their tongues for the committee room. There they taiker to the point and with good effect They helped put many measures into the proper shape, and thus smoothed the way for their enactment into law. Both were industrious and took the practical side of questions. Both kept their feet OF the ground and made no play for nebulous tributes paid to so-called men of vision. Theirs was the vision that saw things close at hand, saw them whole and in their proper proportions. and at tended to them promptly and successfully The present generation has not seen two more useful men in service on Capitol Hill.
 These men were rewarded by. their con- stituents according to their deserts. Eav- ing demonstrated their fitness, both be- came nvincible at home, and were kept in office many years. Both died in har- ness.
 MT. Martins successor is practical man. likely to make in the Senate reputation for industry and success in com mittee work similar to that of his preee- cessor. As the phrase goes. MT. Glass was for years business member or the House, taking up very little of that
