AMERICAS CELERY CENTER
Dutchmen Do Most Of the Work IN
the Kalamazoo Fields.
Two Thousand Acres Under CuEtiva-
tfon-Why the HOIIanders Take
TO Growing Celery.

Win Kalamazoo ever cease to be the
celery center Of the world? This has
often been limited and the question fre-
quently asked. says the Kalamazoo
(Afich.) correspondent Of the Detroit
Free Press.
Not In a century" said F. c. Bu-
tine president Of the Capital City Gel
cry Company. and probably the largest
grower here. 1T viii not cease to be
the center so long as growers have
thousands Of acres of land. extending
far out from this city, which have not
yet been developed and viii not be until
the growers are forced out by the
growth and extension OF the city"
The rapid growth of this city for the
past FIVE or six years has compelled the
owners Of celery marshes to constantly
give up their land. The encroachment
OF building and street improvement
has been so rapid Of recent years that
there are but a few acres left of land
that was used in 1900 The limit of the
land right In Kalamazoo has almost
been reached. over the hills are more
ceres and it Is on this land that the
growers expect to maintain the reputa-
tiOn OF Kalamazoo for celery.
The marshes now under cultivation
total about 1000 acres. This is prac-
tically the same as has been cultivated
during the last ten or fifteen years, but
at one time all Of the land was inside
of what is now the corporate limits Of
Kalamazoo. Crowded out, the celery
about ten miles.
The only reason celery growing does
not extend and American people do not
take hold Of it, according TO Mr.. Butine,
is that there is too much hand labor.
II means were provided whereby there
would not be SO much stopping and
hand picking of weeds. the industry,
which has remained stationary for
years and confined 10 the Holland peo-
pie, viii develop, and thousands Of
acres would be cultivated regardless Of
what are now under cultivation.
Celery growing will average about
5000 20 the acre. and as there is but
little hiring done. 1t represents the
wages of the family that plants, cuItf-
Yates, and harvests the crop. One man
can attend two and three acres, this
meaning from 10000 10 $4,000 plants.
The women and children in the aver
age Holland celery growers family all
work in the field with the men. A
child can do as much wedding as a man
and makes a competent hand.
The Hollanders take naturally to eel
cry culture. for in their native country
the land is almost all black, marshy
soil. in which they cultivate beets. po-
tatoes, turnips, and variety OF garden
truck.

There is much activity in the camps
of Murphy and Young Corbett, who
are to have their six-round argument
on Wednesday night. More interest,
probably, centers in the reports from
Young Corbett's headquarters, for the
reason that the former champion is
expected to have more trouble in get
ting into shape for a bout so i'm
portant as that which he has got on
hand. A victory over Murphy would
not, of course, put the little Denverite
right in the championship class again,
but it would put him in line to meet
any of them, outside of Cans and
Nelson. All the reports from Bridge
port are to the effect hat he is work
ing hard and that as a result he is
in better shape than he has been for
years. This is a wise %precaution or
his part, for he will have to be in
far better shape than he has ever been
in any of his bouts in this city to
score over Murphy, who will enter
