BOWSFIELD i"I"M"l"I-M-l"I"l"l"I"!"I-I"I"I"l-I"l-!"I"M4 Celery is a crop that lends itself to modern methods of intensive farming It is naturally a late summer product and helps to extend the growing sea son right up to winter without great risk of loss from frost. There are many early crops that can be grown up to midsummer and made to yield a fine profit without extending over the whole season Celery can be used as a secondary or follow up crop and thus increase the earning capacity of land to a high figure. As an illus tration it may be stated that lettuce, peas, radishes, beets and a number of other products for which there is a keen demand in the spring run their course and are out of the way in am ple time to allow for the setting out and cultivation of celery. This thing of making land do double duty with cijops that return large profits is not a theory or visionary OKDKBZ TRENCHES. idea, bat is in common and successful practice in the vicinity of all large cities. It is a plan that may be put in force on almost any farm, no matter how far it is from a market. Many of these paying vegetables do not re quire quick marketing, but the farmer can take them to the shipping station or his customers at regular intervals. A daily trip is not necessary unless production is on a large scale. Once or twice a week will do for these jour neys to town. If located near enough to a city so that a private trade in garden supplies can be worked up it will pay the farmer to give regular daily attention to this branch of his business. Every progressive man and woman in the country understands that the marketing end of farming is lust as important as production, and with present facilities for sending goods by mail and express it is quite feasible to have a number ot city customers who will take fresh garden supplies regu laily and thus assist in making the taiin pay Celery cannot be success fully grown without moisture, especial ly at the time of setting out. Produceis should be prepared to irrigate the crop dry periods. The extra profits will pay for this additional work Inci dentally I may say that some cheap plan of irrigation would pay on almost any farm, certainly in any large gar den. Celery plants for commercial crops are pulled and most of the dirt shaken from the roots. The roots are then well puddled in rather thick mud, plac ed in boxes and carried to the garden. Dibbles are used in setting, care being taken to see that the soil is well firm ed around the roots and the plants set no deeper than they grew in flats. Aft er the plants have started to grow the rows are gone over with a two wheel ed hand cultivator having the disks or small plows set to throw the soil away from the rows. The crust is broken up between the plants with weeders or narrow hoes, at the same time uncovering those plants which were set too deep. The field is then cultivate to maintain a fine soil mulch two or three inches deep No dirt is thrown against the celery during warm weather, as it is likely to cause the stems to rust. The plant should be sprayed with bordeaux two or three times before setting in the field and about every two weeks thereafter Care must be taken that the hand cultivator in throwing soil away from the row does not disturb the plants or leave them too bare. Common methods for blanching must be observed. Many expert growers of celery apply from 600 to 800 pounds of salt annually to each acre of land. A part of this is broadcast over the land in the spring und is harrowed lightly into the soil a week or so before setting the first crop ef plants. While the crop is growing a second application of salt may be made This method is advised whether the land is used to grow more than one crop of celery in a season or not Growers say that salting makes the plants more brittle and tender, besides adding something to their flavor. In localities where there is plenty of alka line salts in the soil it is unnecessary to adopt this practice. While urging farmers to take up these money making plans, I wish tc impress on their minds that each land owner has his own peculiar problems to study out. All farmers cannot go extensively into garden crops for rea sons which are plain enough, but a great majority of them should do something with garden supplies for the city trade.
