AGRICULTURE NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent HI. F. Eaton)
Value of Certified Seed Potatoes

vaIue OF ScrtIueu Sctu IoedtOCS
If you want to prove to yourself
how foolish and wasteful it is to
put money into uncertified seed
potatoes, talk with Bill Huck and
let him tell you what follows here:
Bill measured off plot of ground
last spring, divided it in half and
treated both plots exactly the same
as to time of plowing, and planting
potatoes, fertilizing, distance be-
tween rows and between hills,
size of seed pieces, spraying and
cultivating. Soil was the same on
both plots, and they have had the
same treatment in years past be-
cause they were part of large
field.
The only difference in the plots
was that certified Prince Edward
Island potatoes were planted on
one half and uncertified seed on the
other All through the growing
season it was apparent that the Ger
tilted seed plants were thriftier, in
all respects, but digging time told
the story when Bill sacked 147
bushels of potatoes from the plot
on which certified seed was planted,
and only SO bushels from the un-
certified seed plot.
Let's say Bill received 75c per
bushel for these potatoes. All his
costs for both plots were exactly
same except his certified seed for
the plot cost him about $4 more
than uncertified seed, and he had
$65 more money to show for the
four additional dollars spent for
certified seed. The $4 he saved on
the cheaper seed was pretty ex-
pensive saving.

MEXICO GIVEN DATA
ON FAKE u. S. BILLS
Sources of Counterfeits Circulated
Below Border Discussed-Juris-
diction Limited.

The United States Government has
officially notified Mexico of what is
suspected to be source of counterfeit
American paper money in Mexico City
There is nothing more that can be
done by the United States, as jurisdic-
ton of this Government does not ex-
tend below the international border.
But the finding of considerable quanti-
ties of SIS and $40 counterfeit bills in
the Southern United States, and re-
ports from Mexico City of a large sup
ply there, has further aggravated the
situation.
Chief Moran of the United States
Secret Service today said that suspects
had been arrested in Texas bearing in
their possession $40 and SIS bills, which
they said they had obtained in Mexico
Reports from Mexico City indicate
that the supply of counterfeit American
paper money has caused increasing trou-
BILE for business men there, who have
been warned to on the lookout for it.
Police have sent out warning in Mexico
City, it was said. but the supply still
appeared to be plentiful.

EXCAVATORS FIND
TIBER CREEK BED
Remains of Old Wharf Believed
Found in Archives
Construction.

Steam shovels today were digging up
old Tiber Greek in eXcavating the
Center Market site for the new Archives
Building foundation
The bed of either the old creek or
the canal into which Tiber Greek
poured has been struck near Ninth
street and Constitution avenue. and
some old wooden structures Suspiciously
IN the shape of an old wharf were
pulled out of the earth far below the
present street level.
Signs of the age of the old scenes
were disclosed by the discovery of a
large size 1-oent piece. bearing the
date 1906. This was one of the early
pieces of coinage in the United States
the first pieces having been struck by
the United States mint only Is years
earlier, in 1893. The first coins were
half dismeS," later changed to the
name half dimes" emitting the first
letter IS" The 1-cent piece is about
the size of quarter dollar
Gicinti Mario, who is working on the
site. found the 1-cent piece. He re-
fused an offer of 50 for the coin.
silver dollar dated 1888 was
found in another section of the site.
1t was incrusted with earth and
rusty material from rubbish so that
1t was scarcely recognizable. When
the accumulated debris had been
scraped away and it was polished. the
brightness of the dollar was brought
back, and even the milled edge still
remained.

and a deck remains under the new In
ternal Revenue Building, on Constitu-
ton avenue, between Tenth and
Twelfth streets, and now the old water
course beneath the surface of old Center
