When last year the expansion" policy
was adopted by Mr.. Mckinley, carrying

where the additional money was to come

even then borne by the people, could the
expansion policy be carried into opera

stagger under this load there would be

Now. these Washington advices tell us
that already the secretary OF the treas

on a single acre of this arid land. He
says the alkali in the soil is exactly
what is needed to produce the crispi-
ness hat is the first essential of this
popular plant. The Colorado celery he
considers the best in the world, and he
predicts that it will soon be raised in
sufficient quantities to monopolize the
eastern markets.
Fifty thousand celery roots can be
planted on ten acres of irrigated land,
and will require the constant attention
of two men with the modern tools thai
have been invented to cultivate, har-
vest, trim, wash and bind the plant into
punches. He says there is a machine
drawn by horses, with knives that run
through the soil and cut off the plant at
the root as neatly and as exactly as can
be done by hand. There are other ma
chimes that do the rest of the work, es-
pecially the back breaking part, and
reduce the labor of cultivation to a
minimum. An entire outfit costs about
81, 900, but with it and ten acres of
strong alkali land a man car make a
profit of $4,000 to 50, 500 with less than
five months labor.
1t is another interesting fact that
these arid lands, which were formerly
considered worthless, have produced
the highest degree of %saccharine mat
ter in the sugar beet.
