POINTS ON CELERY.
The Crop Requires Deep. Rich and
Loose Soil Which Must he
Thoroughly Drained.

The culture of celery has spread
over all the United States. Originally
it was mere garden crop, being
grown in very small quantities. Now.
however, its culture has so extended
that it may be considered both a gar
den and field crop. 1t is grown from
Maine to Louisiana and from the At
lantic to the Pacific. No less than &c
stations have made experiments with
1t and reported results in bulletins.
It's first culture began near New York
in 1855. and Peter Henderson was one
of the first growers.
This plant grows wild in England
and some parts of Europe. 1t has gen
orally been supposed that celery was
not cultivated till this century. but
this is declared to be a mistake. 1t is
declared that it's cultivation dates back
at least 1000 years, though it was
used only as medicinal herb princi-
pally. Not till the century that just
closed did it become common gar.
den vegetable. The plant has been de-
veloped in two ways; in one, the bot
tom has been enlarged into turnip-
like root. This is eaten by Europeans
under the name of celeriac. In the
other development the stalk has been
rendered large and tender, and this IS
the form in which we know it in T.,
country.
The land largely used for the grow
ing OF celery in this country is re-
ola lined
gives rich. deep, loose soil, just suited
to celery. Such lands can be used only
when thoroughly drained. Here it
makes larger growth than on the
nplands, but the plant grown on tho
uplands is frequently of better favor.
The time of seed sowing depends on
when the celery is wanted for use. To
get an early crop seed can be sown in
the house as early as February. The
SOIL is kept moist and the boxes away
from sunlight. When the plants begin
to appear they should be gradually ac-
customed to the light. It is better to
transplant them once or twice be fore
removing them to the open garden.
The soil must be made rich, if good
results are expected. The plant foods
most used are nitrogen ard potash.
When the plants are about ten inches
high. the celery that is wanted fo- fall
use should be banked up to blanch it.,
and this operation should be repeated
as the tops grow. The celery intended
for winter storing should be earthed
sufficiently to induce the stalks to
grow upright.--Farmers' Review.

GOOD PEACH REGIONS.
Expert Fruit Grower Thinks Suita BILE
Soil Can he Found I'm All Parts
Of the Country

The past season has been one that
has made peach culture more interest
ing than any other season that rec
ollect in Illinois, from the fact that
they have shipped an excellent kind
OF peaches to market and / suppose
made reasonable amount of money.
We used to talk about peach sections;
it used to be supposed that it was
confined to certain narrow territories
some OF them down east, one of them
over in Michigan. another in southern
Illinois, but the spirit Of commercial
ism has led men to study requirements
for successful culture of various kinds
of crops. one Of them, of course. be-
ing the peach, and that study has set
men to hunting for suitable loca tjons.
Knowing the requirements, we find
there are millions of acres of good
peach region. I have no idea of how
much undeveloped frst-class peach
land there is in the United States, and
the transportation companies have
made possible the delivery of peaches
grown in any section of the United
States to any other part of the United
States with due dispatch and in good
order. That leaves commercial peach
growers in a position where it is
question, perhaps in the near future,
of survival of the fittest; a brutal
old law, but humankind seems to know
no other law but the survival of the
fittest. In the pursuit of the almighty
dollar we know no limit to our am
billions. Where acres of peaches were
planted few years ago, whole solid
sections are growing to-day. The mar
ket, of course. has been developed and
extended by the same transportation
facilities: the consumption of all
fruits seems to be on rapid increase.
although we must doubt as to whether
it can keep up with the wonderful in
crease in the production.-R. Morrill,,
in Farmers Review.

Starting a Peach Orchard

Here are the most essential points
in starting peach orchards: If posi-
bic start with trees propagated from
buds taken from trees of greatest
vigor. The most vital point is seIec-
ton of varieties. If growing for the
open market. yellow varieties should
be used; also, few sorts. For my To-
cality Eide and Elberta are the best.
Do not plant too clSse-not closer than
Is by 20 feet. Closer planting would
be all right if an annual pruning
Shortening i'm were practiced.-W. S.
Perrine, in Farmers Review.

Don't Neglect the Garden.

Gardens that pay best are those
that receive the most attention. g.
garden will not take care of itself and
yield profit. Probably no part OF
the farm pays as large a profit as the
garden in good hands. A man that
realizes this will give it the first at
tention in the spring, both as regards
labor and fertilizer. The garden lover
will not forget it when other parts of
the farm also need attention. If a man
will not do the work necessary or have
it done, he may as well not attempt to
have garden.--Farmers' Review.

RosEDALE BOLIVAR COUNTY. SATURDAY
Ben Humphreys a Candidate.

Hon. B. 6. Humphreys, the able and
popular District Attorney of the Fourth
Judicial District, was among his many
Greenwood friends last Saturday, and
was an agreeable caller at this Office
while in the city. Mr.. Humphreys friends
all over the Third Congressional District
have been urging him to make the race
for congress this year, and he authorized
The Enterprise to say to the people that
he has concluded to do so, and that at
an carly date he would make formal an
nouncement of his candidacy in the news
papers of the district. He will thorough
ly canvass the district at the proper time,
discussing the political issues OF the day
before the people and asking them to
elect him to congress upon hismerits and
qualifications for the position. Mr.. Hum
phreys is too well and favorablv known
to the voters of the district tor us to
dwell on that point. He has the best in
terests of the Delta at heart, he is familiar
with all Of her needs and Is capable OF
representing her interests creditably in
any position.
There will probably be several candi-
dates, but we predict that the man who
beats Ben. Humphreys will be the next
congressman from this district.-Greet,-

Farming Operations Delayed.

The Yazoo City Herald thus aptly
sums up the conditions that confront the
cotton planters throughout the Delta:
The continuous cold and bad weather
is delaying farming operations. All
work on the farms is from two to three
weeks late, and the planters are getting
restless. Perhaps it will be better in the
long run, for when the conditions do
change there is every reason to believe
that open spring will begin III earnest
and continue right on through, thus
avoiding cold snaps and replanting a
large portion of the crops, as is often the
case with very early planting. When
the weather will permit there will be a
hum on the plantations that will be
pleasing to every one.
With good planting weather and a
late fall, good crops catr be made, an.
as for recovering lost time, no people
beat those of this section and no courtry
RECEIVERS quicker from backsets. We I've
in favored section. While we have our
times of disappointments and discour-
agements, still there is no such thing
known among US as being crushed or
subdued.
To-day the outlook may not be ms en-
couraging as we would like to see it,
who knows but what in three months
time everything will be bright ard cheer
full. With full crop and good prices, it
don't take long to forget the dark spots.
We enjoy. prosperity more after having
had some adversely, for We appreciate
most that which has caused labor and
toll. So let us keep up our smiles, push
ing right ahead into the unknown fi,-
ture. 1t is the only way to achieve
success.

.cial tn SUPERINTENDENT

Special to Commercial-Appeal]
Meridian, March 3.-B. ". White,
major-generaI commanding the Division
of the United Confederate Veterans Of
this city announces the appointment Of
Miss Nal Scott OF Rosedale as sponsor
for the Dallas meeting of the United Com
federate Veterans.
The above announcement will be read
with genuine pleasure and qualification
by Miss Scott's many friends, not only
in Mississippi, but elsewhere.
A year ago Miss Scott was appointed
by General Cameron, then the comman-
der of the Mississippi Division Of the U.
D. VS., chief Maid Of Honor tor his divis-
ion at the reunion in Memphis. How
well she met the requirements of the po-
sition is shown, in part, at least, by the
fact that General White has appointed
her sponsor for the Mississippi Division
at the reunion to be held in Dallas, Tex,
April next.
Miss Nal, as she is universally called
by her friends, is the accomplished daugh-
ter of one of Mississippi's most distin-
guished sons, the Hon. Charles Scott Of
Rosedale, and has Inherited from her tai
ented father many traits Of head and
heart, happily combined with those love
ly characterics which are inseparately
connected with the women of the Yerger
family--her mother being daughter Of
Col. Alex Yerger.
This charming Mississippi girl has been
given every advantage; graduating with
high honor at school, She spent win
ter iii Washington where she enjoyed the
gayety Of society Of the national capital.
She has Travelled extensively in this seoun-
try, and has spent several months on the
continent and in England.
Miss Scott has many friends in New
Orleans and other Southern cities. She
is general favorite in Memphis, where
she is frequent visitor, is bright and
particular star at the prominent social
functions. In honoring Miss Scott Gen.
White has honored Mississippi, for he
could not have made happier choice
descendant of a long line of distinguish
ed ancestors, in appearance typical
Southern beauty, of queenly presence,
with that sweet and gracious manner
that has made her friends legion, Miss
Scott will be a fit representative Of the
fair women of Mississippi. Macon Bea-
con.
Choice has fallen on Miss Nal Scott,
of Rosedale, one of Mississippi's fairest
and most popular maidens, to be Divis-
ion Sponsor for Confederate Veterans of
Of our State, at the Dallas reunion in
April. She will charmingly grace the
occasion and beautifully represent the
womanhood of our State.-Greenyille
Democrats.
The sentiments above expressed will
meet with hearty response i'll the
hearts of Miss Scott's many friends here
and throughout the county. Miss Nal
is one oil the loveliest of Bolivar's many
fair daughters, and richly merits the
compliment bestowed upon her. Rose
dale is honored by her appointment, and
rests assured that no State will be more
gracefully represented. Miss Scott's
numerous admirers are indeed pleased
that this honor has been given her.
