shipment of eight ears of sweet
potatoes left Bayou Sara, La, fo,
Portland, Oregon, and contiguous
trade territory November 30 This IS
the largest single shipment Of sweet
potatoes ever made from Louisiana
and possibly the largest that has
ever moved out Of the South, accord
ing to NJ Hull, Sweet Potato Spc-
cialist of the University EXperimcE,
Department who assisted in prepar-
ing the shipment for market. About
1900 bushel baskets made up the
shipment which was divided equally
between the Nancy Hall and Porto
Rican varities A booklet of recipes
telling of the many delightful way
in which Louisiana Vans can be
prepared was placed in each basket
"a shipment Of this magnitude not
only reveals the fact that the mark
ct for Louisiana sweets is constant
ly broadening but serves as tribute
to the storage house which makes
the movement of sweet potatoes pos
sible to Northern markets at this

Peter and Paul Were In Rome.

According to the evidence and dis
roveries Of two famous archaeologists
OF Rome. Professors Grossi Condi and
Orazio Maruechi. there no longer re-
mains any doubt that the Apostles Pc
ter and Paul both went to Rome and
suffered martyrdom there.
That doubt has been raised several
times In controversies between various
schools OF archaeOlogists.

lessor Marucchi said. did go to Rome

a catacomb hewn out Of the rock on
the Appian Way. behind the ancient

There are graves In this under

Famous Mine May "come sack.~

The Comstock lode. once known az
the richest silver mine in the world
and from which millions Of dollars
were taken during the height Of its
fame, Is about to come back to Its
own. For years the lode was almost
deserted. and Virginia City, New, lived
along In lethargy that included the
slow crumbling Of It's buildings and
the rOtting Of its sidewalks. until what
was one OF the most colorful, blazing
excitement-gathering towns in the
United States. became monument to
dead hopes and mockery of Its for

mines themselves, can be made to yield

One OF the many social EVENTS to
which the great war had put a tenn

KNOW YOUR OWN cows

Making Milk Tests
"KnOw your own cows" seems to
be the slogan Of the students In voca-
tiOnal agriculture at the high school.
Recently the classes in animal hus-
bandry have begun practice in judg-
ing the dairy type Of cattle.
They are now judging the real
worth. Of an animal by analyNng the
milk produced. The amount Of milk
and its richness are the two things
they are learning about cows pro-
duction Of milk. Each student is per-
forming the Babcock butter fat rest.
Mr.. Steanson who is In charge Of
this work believes that everyone who
owns a cow should know whether she
gives milk that is high or low in tat.
AS the fat content is the most valua-
BILE of the constituents Of milk a
knowledge Of its richness should be
an aid In marketing the milk or cuir-
ing the herd Of Improbable produc-
ers. A point frequently overlooked,
he says, is the value Of milk as food.
Milk, which is high in butterfat iss o
less satisfactory food than milk which
is somewhat lower in fat content.
More discrimination In this respect
should be made In providing milk
for growing children and especially
infants, Mr.. Steanson says.
The department of vocational agri-
culture is willing to perform this SER
vice Of testing milk for anyone desir-
ing the tests made,
