Apple Crop at Home and Abroad.
According to data compiled by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, the
probable yield Of apples In the New
England states will be about one-half
an average crop, while the same ap-
plies to New York. with quality mostly
inferior. Virginia. Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky. about one-third
of crop. Missouri, Kansas. Arkansas,
Illinois and Indiana. considerably less
than last year. Michigan. California,
Colorado and Oregon. many more than
last year. These predictions are made
by the same authority as regards the
crop in the countries named: Great
Britain - Considerably heavier than
last year, the bulk of which will con-
sist Of later varieties. France and
Belgium-Fair crop of late varieties.
Spain and Portugal-Early varieties
rather light. with later varieties heav-
ier. Holland and Germany-Will not
have a large crop. as fallings of late
varieties have been considerable. more
especially in Germany. while Holland
will be heavier in early varieties. Nova
Scotia-A fair crop. and by some it is
estimated that over 200 900 barrels will
be shipped. Ontario-East of Toronto.
not SO heavy as last year. while west
Of Toronto there will be many times
more than last year. The prospects
are that the fall varieties will not be
required in Great Britain, except in
very moderate quantities. as their ap-
pies and those from the continent will

Kansa. Wheat Experiments.


Wheat went through the winter in
good condition and started we'll in the
spring, when. March %. freeze cut 1t
to the ground. This delayed ripening
two weeks. making it so late that it
was caught by the black rust after the
usual time Of ripening. The black
rust appeared June II. as mcst of our
wheat was in the dough, and in three
days wheat that had promised q yield
OF 30 10 40 bushels per acre was hard
ly worth cutting. the plants were dead,
the straw fallen over and the grains
shrunken to less than half size. We
grew fifty-four varieties. but most Of
them were SO badly injured by the rust
that they were not cut. The highest
yield Of the Turkey. our standard hard
wheat. was Is bushels per acre. while
the highest yield of the Zimmerman,
cur standard soft wheat. was % BUSH
els per acre. A test was made to de-
termine whether it is best to p!ow the
ground in drouth and harrow It into
shape ready for seeding at the usual
time or wait until a rain comes and
then plow. The early piowinx was
made July 80. the ground turning up
hard and lunpy. It was worked with
harrows and feat until in fair tilth.

Celery.

Celery Is said to be . native Of
Great Britain, where it grows In low.
vet places. It has been cultivated and
made edible. Introduced into the
United States 1t grows well In soils
that are moist and filed with humus
and in ATTITUDES not too cold. Black
muck is a favorite soil In the West,
and where it is underlaid by gravel or
some soil that will permit Of q natur-
al drainage it proves suitable. There
are favorite localities where the muck
is SO deep that 1t makes no difference
what the subsoil is, since BY digging
large open drains. way out II made
fer the water. There are many places
where celery soil exists that II as yet
unutilized for the growing OF that
plant. Celery is a boon to the farmer
in that it takes for its natural habitat
soil that is not suitable for many OF
his crops. Not only IS here the ad-
vantage that the low lands can De
used that would be otherwise but SER
viceable fer meadows, but the eener-
ally even distribution Of the muck
lands and the open bitches make ir-
rigation easily possible. Thus the tar
ner can he sure of q crop. even IN the
dryest of years. In such case the
coming in of this celery crop may
make up for losses sustained on the
lands that cannot be made resistant
to drouth. The plant can be grown
on the uplanGs, where OF course us
success will be determined largely oy
the state Of the weather.
Fertil;zing is done as for otnss
crops, and in such cases barn-yard
manure is preferable to any otnef
kind. Nitrate Of soda is used to some
extent, as are also lime and gypsum.
The seed for the early crop Is usually
sown in hot beds during the hrst nan
of March. II one has greenhouse OF
course this may be used for starting
tie plants. The advice Is given 10
cover the seed very lightly. say SIX
teenth of an inch, and to keep the
ground mcist till the plants have oo-
tanned a good start. One writer says
cover the top of the ground with paper
or boards till the seeds sprout.
For the crop that is expected to r.
pen late in the fall the seed may be
sown out of doors almost any time In
spring previous to June. When the
plants are large enough to transplant
they should be set in rows, the plants
to be six inches apart in the row anu
the rows four or five feet apart. From
that on the culture is not much diner
ent from that given to most other
plants, surface cultivation between the
rows being practiced. II the field Is
large one it may be found better to
use a horse cultivator. when 1t may be
advisable to have the rows more than
four feet apart.
Blanching is done in various ways.
by the use of boards or by hiliing up
the earth around the plants. But when
the celery is not to be put onto the
till late in the winter 1t is not
often blancked till it is about to be
disposed of.
