Cultivate Your Potatoes.

The truth is that potato growing
depends more ON skilled labor than does
any other farm crop, says the Ameri-
can Cultivator. In the first place, the
farmer who grows this crop can never
afford to neglect it whenever it needs
attention, either in cultivation, de-
struction of bugs or the equally neces-
sary destruction of weeds and spraying
of the foliage to prevent blight. Any
one of these neglected for single day
will so lessen the yield that it will be
nearly impossible to sell the crop at a
profit This just doubles the number of
operations that need to be performed
i'll the days before the potato beetle had
come East, and before spraying of the
leaves with Bordeaux mixture was
known to be preventive of blight
and rot. Yet we think the increased
productiveness of some of the new
varieties, and the improved implements
for cultivating and harvesting make
it possible to grow potatoes on good
land more cheaply than was posi-
BILE in the times before potato
bugs, blight and potato rot were
known. Those were times when the
city population was much less in
proportion than it is now, and when
the potato was a far less important
article of food than it is on most tables

Celery Prospects.

The matter of growing celery for the
Eastern market has already begun to
attract attention from the outside
world, says the Bakersfield Echo. A
gentleman came up from Los Angeles
few days ago and began at once to
make inquiries about the price and
location of land suitable for that crop.
He said he had had experience in that
line of farming and if he could find
suitable conditions he would engage
IN its cultivation extensively.
We learn from a gentleman who Is
more or less familiar with this indus
try in Michigan that while the output
here is large in the aggregate celery
raising is not the exclusive occupation
of the farmers, but is but one of their
crops. Hundreds of farmers about
Kalamazoo raise some of it regularly
but it is not their sole dependence.
They do not raise it as an exclusive
crop. If the same course were to be
pursued here it would furnish source
of revenue for every small farmer Oh
the delta, giving him some ready cash
each winter and spring with which tc
meet current bills.

If you expect a good crop of beans
you must have rich, well-drained soil,
says Farm and Home. Plow to a
moderate depth and harrow well just
before planting the beans. Fitting the
soil in the very best condition Is I'M
portant. Plant from June 9Th to goth
in rows twenty eight inches apart,
with a planter regulated TO drop four
or five beans in a hill twelve inches
apart. This will require from one
half to one and a-half bushels per acre
according to the size of the beans.
Start the cultivator as soon as the
beans are well up, say three inches
high. Take extra care to cultivate as
close to the rows as possible, twice in
each row, using a small tooth on the
outside the first time through, so as
not to cover too many vines. Beans
and weeds do not grow proftably to-
gether. Avoid working in the beans
while the vines are wet, also while in
the blow. No crop pays better than
beans to cultivate well and keep free
from weeds. In harvesting use two
horse bean cutter to pull, the vines, as
they are then easily bE ahed together.

Green Peas Healthy.

No farmers table should be without
variety of vegetables in their season,
and of all that grow in the garden
none gives greater pleasure to the
appetite, or is healthier than green
peas. The time is rapidly approaching
when they may be sown. The very
earliest should be some smooth variety,
as these are less sweet and less likely
to rot in the soil than are the wrinkled
peas. Carter's First Crop is very
good pea, and only inferior to the
wrinkled sorts. Little Gem and Amer
lean Wonder peas should be sown next,
and with them some late wrinkled
variety like the Champion of England
or Stratagem. This will prolong the
season three weeks or more. A second
sowing may be made of the Little
Gem. If late varieties are sown very
late, the vines forming seeds in hot,
dry weather will mildew and spoil the
crop. This probably because in dry
weather the roots are unable to secure
enough mineral plant food to furnish
the phosphate and lime for the seeds.

Plant More Onions.

There are few vegetable crops of
more Importance to the rural popula-
ton of the United States than the
onion crop, says R. L. Watt, Of the
Tennessee Agricultural Station. The
relatively large profits which it is pos.
sible for the skillful grower to obtain
from limited area have rendered the
cultivation of this bulb especially popu.
lar with those possessing small tracts
of land. Notwithstanding the extern
sive production of onions in the United
States, hundreds of thousands of bushels
are annually shipped to our ports from
Bermuda, France, Spain, Cuba. This
fact demonstrates that the home de-
mand at all seasons of the year is not
yet fully supplied by growers of ou1
own country. The bulbs of foreign
varieties are superior in quality to
those originated in this country-such
as the Yellow Danvers, Red Wethers.
field, and Silver Skin.
The imported bulbs are also placed
on the market before the gardeners in
the North can mature their crops, but
the long season of California and Ger.
tain parts of the South renders it posi-.
BILE for these sections to cultivate sue.

mature the onions almost, if not quite,

Asparagus Growing.

There is another industry with great
possibilities for Fresno county. That
is i'll the growing of asparagus. This
vegetable is canned, the same as
peas. and where it grows successfully
it is highly valuable crop. The
Tenney cannery will be prepared to
handle asparagus. Perhaps no crop
ON small or large piece of land, will
pay better, provided the land is suited
for the purpose and the right methods
are followed. A few years ago a
Frenchman with small capital and
large business sense, went to North
Carolina and bought 100 acres of cheap
land and raised asparagus for the New
York market. So successful was the
business that he has now retired very
wealthy man. Fresno county is prob
ably better suited for asparagus grow.

men who take hold are the ones who

Demand for Celery,

pany, speaking about the large increase
in the industry of growing vegetables
in Southern California for the Eastern
winter markets, says:

mostly to New York, since the LIST of
December, and from near Los Angeles
about fifty carloads of caulifiower have
gone on. These are but beginnings
of what will be great and profitable
industry.
Three years ago we leased a lot of
peat lands near Santa Ana, and in
duced people to begin growing celery.
From the first years crop we sent on
10 or 10 carloads, the second year about
fifty carloads, this past winter 100, and
1T is probable that at least two hundred
carloads will go on next season. The
100 carloads brought the producers

Soil for Onions,

Onions will grow in almost any soil
that is we'll filld with humus, possesses
fertility and can be thoroughly drained,
says the Ohio Farmer. A rich, sandy
loan is preferred. Endeavor to have
the land free from stone, rubbish and
foul weeds. Experienced growers
claim that it is almost impossible to
put on too much manure. Any good
compost will answer, land some consider
that so two-horse loads per acre is not
an excessive amount. Many use
poultry manure and ashes, applied as
a top dressing, an addition to other
manure. Soils which have been pre-
viously fertilized will produce large
crop with no other fertilizer than
nitrate of silver. From 600 to 75O
pounds per acre is sufficient, but that
amount should be divided into two or
three parts and applied at different
times during the season. The onion
manures which are advertised have
also proven satisfactory as a fertilizer
of such land. A top dressing of ashes,
phosphate, or other manure when bulbs
are half grown is very beneficial.

Potato Planting.

Potatoes should be cut into compact
pieces of nearly uniform size, rather
than so that there is a definite number
of eyes on each piece, says a CORE
spondent in the Santa Rosa Farmer.
No piece without eyes should be used
and if there are three or more much
the better. Experiments have proved
that larger yield is obtained by
planting the seed or bud end, than
from the stem or butt end as the ewes
on the seed end terminate first and
therefore an earlier crop is obtained.
The total yield is large, in proper.
ton to the size of the seed pieces
planted, from the single eye to the
whole potato. and this is especially
true of the small tubers.
1t is better to plant one large piece
in hill than several very small ones
and if small tubers are used they should
be planted whole. 1t is we'll to select,
for the best yield, medium to large
tubers of good shape.

While at the University last week
the editor of this paper had the bones
of his hand photographed by the
Roentgen ''X" ray process with Prof.
l.. 1. Blake as the photographer. 1t
was very simple performance. APP
parently. A powerful current of
electricity was turned into a glass
tube from which the air had Been ex-
hausted. Then a sensitive glass
plate, such as is used in common
photography for taking negatives,
was brought in, enclosed in a hard
rubber case to exclude the light, and
the hand was placed on this case and
brought directly under the glass tube
into which a current of electricity
was pouring sufficient, if properly
divided up, to kill a thousand men.
The exposure lasted little less than
three minutes, and the result was a
picture of the bones of the hand and
wrist as clear and perfect as if they

the Department of Chemistry, has
worked with Prof. Blake in design
ing special apparatus for this inter-

their combined ingenuity they are
able to secure an excellent photo
graph in from two to three minutes,
while it has taken other operators
from one-half to three-quarters of an
hour. 1t is a wonderful discovery,
and must prove great aid in medi-
