Seed Division Must Go.

A press telegram from Washington Of
July Goth says: Secretary Morton's an
tagonism TO the existence of the seed
division of the agricultural department,
reached it's logical conclusion today IN
an order abolishing the division, to take
effect October l, by which date N. E.
Pagan, chief of the division, by the same
order is directed to have his work
wound up.
The abolishing of the seed division
will throw out of employment ten people
besides the chief, at present, and will
result in depriving fully $50 more of oc
cupation during the busy season-the
nter'months-when it is customary to
send out the bulk Of the seeds. The
chief has salary of SO, 900 year. There
are two clerks at 81, 100 and eight at $40
The extra force employed in the winter
season is paid at the rate of $3.50 per
day.
1t is probable that Mr.. Pagan will be
appoi nted to another branch of the SER
vice after his resignation as chief of the
seed division takes place.

To Protect Crops.

The following is one of the peculiar,
but perhaps useful laws in some cases,
passed by the last legislature. 1t is
entitled An Act to Protect Growing
Crops and is as follows in full:
SECTION l. That where two or more
persons are conducting and carrying on
farming operations under one and the
same fence enclosure, it shall be unlaw-
full for any one or more of said farmers
operating farm within said one fence
enclosure to turn in any stock or allow
any of their own stock to run upon said
enclosed farming territory before the
first day of November of each year,
without first having obtained the written
consent of all the occupants. of said
territory actually conducting farms
within said one fence enclosure.
SEC. 2. Any person or persons violat-
ing the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction shall be fined not more
than one hundred dollars, or be confined
in the county Jail not more than three
months or by both fine and lmprison-
ment at the discretion of the court.

again, but we opine that they passed
through hard times and many other
kinds of times in the early days when
they first commenced to make their
groves, and we trust they will be brave
enough to fight the baltle little longer.
This may be the last cloub of adversely
we willhave for a half century, and the

an upright position with one hand and
pulling the dirt up with the other and
packing it firmly. This should be re-
peated from time to time as the plant
grows until it attains the required size,
when after few days standing, it will
be found ready for market. The plants
should never have earth drawn up to
them when they are wet.
With little care fine celery can be
raised. Twenty thousand plants can be
grown to the acre, and at the average
market price, you can figure it out and
see what the income would be.

Celery in Florida.
DeLand. Fla.

From leafet published by p. F. Wilson, Seeds
man, Gainesville, Fla.
1t is thought by many that celery can
not be successfully grown anywhere ex-
cent in Kalamazoo, but our experience
at the Holly Gate Farm paradise, Fla, }
has proved the contrary to be true, for we
have succeeded year after year in grow
ing celery as fine in flavor, as uniform in
size and as beautiful in appearance as
anv that can be produced anywhere.
What we have done at Holly Gate can
be done in most any part of the State.
There are very few farms on which there
are not from one to ten acres of land that
will produce the finest of celery with the
proper care.
The soil on which we grow our crop is
a dark sandy, or mucky lump land. In
selecting plot for celery, avoid high
light soil. The soil, on the other hand
should not be too wet. Open bitches,
however, can be made so as to lower the

Olives in Florida.
Editor Florida Agricultu1ist:

Editor Florida Agricuhu1ist:
have your inquiry of July 3Oth about
olives. | Can only give you my expert
ence.
Eleven years ago [ set out 100 olive
trees obtained from Mr.. Bidwell and Mr.
Fries; they were evidently of the same
lot, had been long in the nursery and
were poor stock. During the year ten
or twelve of them died and the freeze of
$50 brought my trees down to go but
these of course were the best. From
that time with the same treatment as an
orange the trees grew much faster and
this year some of them were Is feet high
20 feet spread with trunk diameter at
the ground of 90 inches in one case and
none less than to IL inches all upright
and beautiful trees in perfect health and
condition without insects or other
enemies of any kind. They blossomed
first in 1890 but set NO fruit and that
has been their record since-here and
there berry but the whole 60 trees
never bore 1Oquarts of berries. and these
were only small, ripened prematurely
in July and August from second bloom.
My trees were described by the nursery
men as Ghe ''fruiting Olives and have
no reason to suppose that under other
circumstances more favorable to the
development of fruit bearing qualities
they would not do we'll in that line.
Ny soil is sand as you know of a good
quality as soils go here but still sand,
and my impression is that the olive de-
mands for it's perfection a calcareous
soil.
| have often thought the shell mounds
of the east coast and the lime stone
ridges of the west coast would make
good situations for the olive. My own
experience satisfies me that we can raise
very thrifty and beautiful trees here on
the sand land but the requisites for
fruitlng are wanting in our soil. The
trees with one exception were killed to
the ground In Feb. last.

PLANTS.
Most any of the leading varieties of
celery do we'll. Our experience thus far
has been mostly with the Perfection
Heartwell, Giant Pascal and few other
varieties
Seed can be sown early in August.
The young plants are very tender and
must be sheltered from the storms and
sun until old enough to transplant. The
most difficult part of raising crop of
celery lies in growing the plants which
should be stocky, vigorous and I'M
stunted. Transplanted plants have a
decided advantage over untransplanted
ones when set out in the field and for
that reason we use the transplanted ones
altogether.
The seed bed should be made very
rich with we'll rotted manure and plenty
of commercial fertilizer. Occasional
wetting of the beds with water, in which
small amount of nitrate of soda has
been dissolved, will add much to the
vigor of the young plants.
The seed should be sown very shallow
and the bed kept damp and shaded.
For shading the beds, frames made of
laths placed an inch apart are very good.
Canvas, also, will answer. The shade

three or four o'clock and not replaced
before nine or ten the next morning.
When the plants are three inches high,
they can be transplanted into rows far
enough apart to cultivate with the hoe.
When they have reached the height of
five or six inches they are ready tor the
field.
When the plants are moved, it is often
we'll to clip off the ends OF both roots and
leaves. This gives the plants better
opportunity to start.
FERTILIZER.
On average land from 1000 to 1900
pounds of fertilizer containing the fol-
lowing will be sufficient:
rogen,............. ...........5 to per cent.
Av. Phosphate Acid..."...5 "
Potash .................... "10 "
Stable manure and cotton seed meal
makes good fertilizer in connection with
the above Nitrate of soda, acid phos-
phate and sulphate of potash are very
convenient and valuable fertilizers. Any
good com mercial fertilizer will do equal
ly as well, if rich enough in the different
fertilizing elements.
PREPARATION.
After thoroughly blowing and mel
lowing the soil, bitches can be plowed
or spaded out four or four and half
feet apart. The depth of the ditch
should depend some on the wetness of
the land. Into these bitches place the
we'll rOtted stable manure and cotton
seed meal, if that is to be used, and also
part of the commercial fertilizer.
The bitches can then be nearly filled
with dirt, which should be we'll mixed
with the fertilizer.
SETTING THE PLANTS,
After the rows have been we'll leveled
and made mellow, plants may be set. In
doing this care must be taken to keep
the bud above the level of the ground.
