required In . which to properly
blanch celery It Is necessary to start
the process about the first of Octo

around the plants and gradually
continuing this from .time to' time
until only the tops of the plants

Club Members .Finish Record Year
Of Work
With the announcement of cham
pions In seven junior agricultural
club projects farm boys and girls
who are members of clubs in their
counties have completed one of the ;
most eventful years In the history
it this work In the State, according
to C. . W. Buckler,, state leader of
junior agricultural club work from
the College of Agriculture. The
year has been a record one not only
for large enrollment In the clubs
but also for high quality of work
done by, the junior farmers, Mr.
Buckler said. Competition for the
championships In the various ev
ents were unusually keen.
Elizabeth Smith, Campbellsvlllo,
was made the 1921 champion in the
Junior agricultural club poultry
project. This is the second year
that she has won the honor and as
a result she will retain the silver
trophy offered the champion. She
also will receive a free trip to the
International Livestock Exposition
to be held at Chicago. Thomas J.
Cockran, CarrolUo'n, was named the
1921 champion In the pig club pro-
He will receive a silver trophy
trlct together with Improvements on
farm buildings Including both
dwellings and barns. Similar Im
provements have been made by the
clubs at Spurlock and Maulden.

Good results In the home storage
of vegetables depends upon ventila
tion, regulation of temperature, suf
ficient moisture and the quality of
vegetables stored, specialists at the
College of Agriculture say. in a
house heated by a furnace vegeta
bles can be stored successfully 1n the
cellar In a room portioned o,T In
the corner fartherest from the heat
ing plant. Outdoor storage pits al
so may be U3ed successfully for
keeping vegetables through the whi
ter. . Only nound, unbrulsvd vege
tables can bo kept for any length
nf time, the specialists say.
At least two sides of the cellar
storage ' room should be outside
walls one of which should contain at
least , one window (or regulating
the temperature and admitting
fresh air. A stove pipe or wooden
t'.ue fitted into tho lower part of the
window and reaching almost to the
bottom of the floor can bo used to
admit cold air, the nmount of
which can be regulated by a damper
in the pipe. The warm air iu the
room can . be removed and circula
tion created by making an opening
in the upper part of the window.
DotS openings should be covered
with wire netting to prevent the en
trance of rats ami mice and In cold
weather should be covered entirely
and opened only as the occasion de
mands. ' -
A dirt floor has been found best
for the storage room, the specialists
say. A -concrete floor should be
covered with about two inches of
sand and sprinkled time to time In
order to supply enough moisture to
keep the plants from wilting. Prop
er circulation of air In and around
the boxes and crates Containing
vegetables may be obtained by rais
ing these a few Inches off the floor
and keeping them about tho same
distance away from the wall.
For outdoor storage the mound
shaped pit has been found best, the
specialists say. In making -this pit
a mound or conical pile of vegeta
bles is placed on a layer of straw
or leaves and covered with another
layer of straw or leaves several
inches thick. Three or fotir Inches
of soil are placed on top of this.
As the weather grows colder more
layers of straw and dirt are added,
a covering of manure often being
placed over the outside layer. To
furnish ventilation a triangular flue
made by nailing three boards to
gether and boring several holes in
the bottom portion is inserted Into
the center of the vegetable mound
while it Is being made. The top of
this flue should extend above the
top layer of dirt. An Inverted V
shaped cap should be nailed over
the top of the flue to keep out the
rain. In cold weather the. flue op
enings should be closed. ' Surplus
water may be carried away by dig
ging a trench 'around the base of the!
mound. After the pit Is opened sur-1
plus vegetables should be removed I
to a cellar since it is difficult to
preserve them In the pit.
