Diseases OF CelerY.

At the Rhode Island station efforts
have been made to ascertain the cause
of and remedies for the various diseases
of celery-that is, black heart, blights
and blasts Of celery These diseases are
not confined to any particular variety,
and there is no indication that the
spores are introduced with the seed
when planted, nor could they be as
cribed to excessive drought, as they pre-
vailed on irrigated sections of the field.
Bordeaux mixture seemed to check
the disease upon the leaves at first, but
later in the season, when the weather
became cooler, but little if any differ
ence could be detected between the rows
that had been treated and those which
: had not. Black heart and blight were as
prevalent upon new land as on that
which was before in the crop, and there
were no indications that the disease was
contagious. They always appeared in
the most violent form either during or
soon after period of hot weather. The
effect of trenching and mulching was
considered to some extent, and it was
found that, while lack of proper pro-
lection of the roots was not the sole
cause of celery disease, yet this seemed
to be tho principal cause where level
culture was practiced.
The production of hollow stalks is
thought to be hereditary trait, as they
appear more commonly in some varieties
than in others, but as all varieties pro-
duce them at times conditions of the
soil may also have something to do with
their occurrence.

at all times. 1t is usual to construct
this outlet of boards or plank in the
form of a long box from to IS inches
in width and height. For permanence
it might be better to use metal pipe.
but it is probable that the wooden out
let will serve for sufficient number Of
years.
Having placed the outlet box or pipe
in proper position, great care must be
taken in building the wall at this par
ticular place to secure a tight joint.
Clay should be carefully tamped around
and under the box, and as an addition
al precaution it is well to provide the
box with wings or ribs projecting out
ward into the earth bank and prevent
ing the percolation of water along the
contact plane between earth and the
wood or metal The gate on the inside
end of the outlet may be of any one of
great variety Of forms, from a simple
board placed securely against the end
to the expensive metal valve used for
city purposes.
One of the simplest and most efficient
gates in use consists of broad plank
covering the end of the box, which is
cut off in such position as to slope
diagonally upward and toward the
bank. The place of contact between the
end of the box and plank covering it is
lined with leather or some similar sub
stance, insuring tight joint. The plank
covering is hinged on the upper side
and is extended diagonally upward by
stout bar. When this is grasped and
pulled toward the bank, the valve is
opened against the pressure of the wa
ter, and when the bar is released it is
automatically closed. In the cut here
presented is illustrated section of res
eryoir bank showing the outlet.

Where storm waters are employed
the construction of the reservoir if of
considerable size should be under the
supervision of an engineer. In his pa
per on irrigation of the great plains
Fred Fl. Newell gives valuable sugges-
lions concerning the construction of res
ervoirs, including the following con
corning the outlet He says:
In building the walls one of the first
things to consider is the outlet. This
should be placed in such position that
the water will be delivered convenient
ly to the bitches, and its position should
be SO low that it will completely empty
the reservoir. This outlet should be pro-
vided with valve or gate on the in
ner side, SO arranged that it is accessible

Few will deny that there is still money
in it, but the majority is not slow in say
