GROWERS OF CELERY Will
REAP A GOLDEN HARVEST
Big Profits Accrue to Stark County Farmers
Swamp Lands Made to Yield $3.50 an Acre
--Canton Product Favored by Buyers

ed in Pittsburg. II Is hauled to Alli-
ance in wagons, the celery raisers
having contracted with teamster to
do the hauling. From Alliance to
Pittsburg the express rates are 40
cents hundred and 1t is consigned
directly to commission men, so that
the farmer does not have the trouble
of selling. The commission men are
glad to get the crop and pay the very
highest prices.
other large celery farms and tracts
are found at Greentown, Hartville
Uniontown and near Canton.
The facts with reference to the
Hartville section were given by Ar
thur Willaman, a large grower. He
stated that the variety generally
grown is known as the Golden self
blanching. 1t is planted 5 inches apart
in the row and the rows are a feet
apart. This gives $4,000 plants to the
acre, not al of which, however, de-
velop into marketable celery. The
general impression is that celery soil
which is dark and deep, cannot be ex.
hausted, but this is a fallacy. 1t re-
quires more fertilizer than any othe,
soil. AS high as ton to the acre OF
commercial fertilizer is used by the
best growers and If 1t is not used the
crop Will be a short one.
A fair estimate of the value of the
celery crop of Stark county is thought
to be 100000 year. The profits are
large and those farmers who have the
best land are graduany accommodating
competency. The land is valued al
from $500 to $4OO an acre and there
is. often greater profit from five acres
of swamp land when planted in celery
than from quarter section of LAND
given TO general farming.

M. A. FISHERS
BRIGHT IDEA
Plan Sugsested by Him Adopt
ed SUCCESSFULLY by q Largo
Concern.


There are few retail druggists who
have better ideas as to how to success
fully introduce proprietary prepara-
ton than M. A. Fisher, one of the best
known business men in Canton.
When the DR.. Howard company talk
ed with Mr.. Fisher in regard to intro
ducing the Specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia, he advised
them to sell their SO cent size at the
popular price of 25 cents. He told
them that he could sell ten bottles at
this price where he could sell one at
so cents, and the result has proven his
business judgment. The sales ON this
now famous specific for the cure OF
constipation and dyspepsia, have been
SO remarkably large that they have de-
cided to make the price - cents in the
future; not diminishing the amount OF
medicine that they put in each package
go doses, a months treatmenD. Dr.
Howard's Specific is sold under M. A.
Fishers absolute guarantee to refund
the money IL it does not cure consti-
patton. dyspepsia, and all forms Of liv-
er trouble.
If you do not feel that the Specific
has done you great good, take back
the empty bottle to Mr.. Fisher, and he
will return your money without any
question. This offer shows his belief
that DR.. Howard's Specific is a medi-
cine that cures.

Canton celery is the whole thing in
Pittsburg. Over one of the largest
commission houses in that city is en-
blazoned large sign, Canton Gel
cry" and Pittsburg people who come
to Canton ask for celery at all sea-
sons. All celery that is grown in
Stark county goes into the market as
Canton celery, and that name is suf-
ficient guarantee that the largest price
can be obtained for 1t.
Few people have any conception of
the importance of this crop, as II is
confined to a small section of the
county ard never gets in the agricul-
tural reports. The Hartville section
is perhaps the most extensive. Celery
has been grown there for many years
and the area is being extended. There
are now under cultivation $50 acres
of celery land, which produces for the
grower on an average about $3.50 an
acre. This is very conservative es-
innate.
The possibilities OF an acre are
shown by the wonderful crop raised
by e. w. Richard last year. He
planted little late and the growth
was phenomenal. He sold 800 worth
of celery from a single acre which was
perhaps the best crop ever raised In
the county. Hiram Hildenbrand, how
ever, has the reputation Of having
raised the largest single punches. He
had bunch containing one dozen
stalks that weighed 2S pounds after 1t
had been cleaned and trimmed, which
was over two pounds to the stalk. This
can be better realized when 1t is con-
sidered that an ordinary stalk weighs
bat few ounces.
