CELERY

There is no greater luxury cao tie

usually looked upon as o difficult hing
to manage, but really is not. The TO ow-
ing directions for blqnching as given by
Mr.. j. Il. Van Bochovc Of Kalamazoo.

make the process plain:
GROUND BLANCHNG.-When two
crops are raised nearly all the work of
killing has 10 be done by hand. If one
crop is grown the soil can be thrown to-
ward the rows with the plow, thus greatly
reducing the labor. A large hoe is used.
about twelve inches in length. With
this the soil is drawn lightly against The
celery. No dirt is allowed to fall in the
heart of the plant.
About five days after, and after it be-
gins TO blanch a little, the muck should
further he put mp against the celery with
a hoe. If il cannot be done with a hoe,
a spade or shovel must be used. This
second billing should he about six inches
higher or almost to the leaves Of the
celery. The bank at the bottom should
be broad, SO that when the soil is drawn
upit will not easily roll or wash down.
After three days loose ground should be
taken from the sides of the rows and
gently pressed against the celery to the
height Of two inches. In doing this great
care should be taken, if the weather is
warm, not to get it too tight OF it will
rust. This finishes the process Of bank
ing with ground. 1t viii blanch in from
ten 10 fifteen days from the first killing
for the good Golden Dwarf variety. but
Others take longer.
BOARD BLANCHING.-This method. il is
claimed, originated in Kalamazoo = sum
Der Of years ago, and has been muse cUH-
~tinuonsly since. 1t requires two mcn 10
blanch with boards. The boards should
be from ten TO twelve inches wide. ac
cording to the height of the cr,lry. one
inch thick. twelve TO sixteen feet lorg,
and free from knot holes, Wfich would
admit the air. On the ends OF the rows
the space between the boards should be
filed out with Erass or SOL. Otherwise the
first few stalks would not hc blauchcd.

are then fastened at the top with a small
piece Of wood, which is eight inches long
and two wide. In this two notches are
sawed to the depth Of II inches and -
inches. which will leave the boards -
inches apart, which is the right distance
on fair sized celery. About four of these
pieces should be used on Il, sixteen foot
board. II the celery is small, the boards
should be somewhat closer. Heavy
pieces of wire may he used instead of
wooden pieces. When the row is com
plcted the earth should be drawn against
the bottom Of the boards, to keep them
firm against the celery. THIS completes
the work, and the crop will 10Y take ten
10 fifteen days in hlanching."

This year Easter will fall on the LIST Of
April-nine days earlier than last year
The earliest possible day for Easter is the
22d of March. and 1t fell on that day in
1S1S-for the firs0 time in 200 years.
One object in arranging the calendar was
that Easter might never fall on the same
day as the Jewish Passover. This did
occur, however, in 1905, on the nth day
of April; n 1925 on the 81 of April, and
will do so again in 1923 on the 1st of
April; in 1927 on the 18th of April, and
in 1891 on the 18Th of April. Last year
Easter and the Passover were separated
by but single night. The Jewish TESTS
val usually occurs in Passion week, in
Lent, and never before the 26th of March
or after the 25th of April. On the other
hand the christian festival is never be
fore the 22d of March or after the 25th
of April. In 1918 Easter will fall on the
22d of March, as it did in 1915 and 1856.
The latest Easter occurred in 1886, the
25th of April, and it will not fall on that
date again until 1913.

Moline people who have occasion to

swindled, If the fare is not conspicu-

make your bargain with the driver be-
fore YOU start, or run the risk of being
charged whatever the driver pleases to
ask at the other end of the line.
Alderman Kerns went from Rock ISL
and to Davenport, Saturday, not in
one of the regular ten cent vans or 'buss-
es. but in a hack. He asked the driver
before starting what the fare was. and
was politely informed that it was ten
cents. This gave him confidence and he
came back in an exactly similar vehicle
without making any bargain at the start.
The result was that it cost him a quarter
this time, and the driver told him that he
would have charged a half dollar had he
taken him for travelling man.-Noline

THE SAME OLD PROJECT.
a.. 10. a q. Engineers surveying
bridge approaches,


For several days corps OF civil en-
gineers have been engaged in the work
of surveying bridge approaches in the
lower end of town. When questioned as
to the object of their surveys, one OF the
party replied that the surveyors where in
the employ Of the G., B & @ and had
been ordered to survey the approaches
on both sides of the river as soon as pos
sible.
This reyives the old project of bridge
across the Mississippi at the lower part
of town. a subject which has been dis
cussed in the ARGUS on frequent occa
siOns. 1t is to be hoped that something
of substantial nature will come of these
surveys. The Burlington has long en-
tertained desire to enter Iowa at this
point, and the probabilities are that il is
no longer desire but determination.
