Seeding and Transplanting to Beds.
Early in August the seed bed should
be made ready. Select a we'll drained
spot, thoroughly pulverizing the ground,
breaking up all clods; make the bed
very rich, mixing in liberal quantities of
well rotted stable manure and CONNER
cial fertilizer; allow the land now pre-
pared to become we'll seasoned to pre-
vent burning of the delicate seed. After
planting the seed cover with coarse tow
sacks, keeping them damp with water,
ground; then remove the sacks, culti
vate carefully and often, watering regu-
larly every night. When plants are two
inches high, carefully transplant into an
other thoroughly prepared bed, asserting
the plants into two sizes, and cultivate
these frequently until they are four or
five inches high. To avoid damage from
the midsummer sun it is best to cover

the only attention and care it received.
The solar plexus administered by the
freeze seemed knockout, but, before
the referees count was finished, the
grower was on his feet and it was de-
clared draw. The Frost King skipped
off to the North, and the erstwhile fruit
grower went into training as a vege-
tartan.
It is not strange that outsiders are
ignorant of our vegetable industry when
we see the woeful lack of knowledge
along this line upon the part of our own
people.
In the lead, among the many profit
yielding vegetables, we find celery, until
of late years an unknown quantity
among Florida products.
The Origin of Florida Celery.
To Sanford the thanks of the State
and nation are due for the introduction
and development of the celery industry.
To the State she has added another
bright gem in it's glittering circlet of
industries and brought millions of money
into it's Golfers.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-03-01

To the nation she has brought lux
ury, crisp and fresh, at season when
the epicure must needs content himself
with a stale, kept-over produce from
another State, or do without.
The successful methods of growing and
marketing celery are the result of years
of careful study and costly experiment
upon the part of public-sp spirited Sanford
ties, who are now ready to give the
homeseeker freely of what has cost them
so much.

CELERY CULTURE
How This Vegetable Is Grown at Sanford, the Create
Celery Producing Section of the United States.
By Henry HI. Deane.

The freeze of February, 1895, which
brought disaster to the orange industry
in many sections of our State, is now
generally admitted to have been bless
ing in disguise.
In the fruit belt it was universally
accepted as the proper thing to own an
orange grove. The planting of vegeta-
bles by the orange grower was done in
a careless way, with no thought of profit,
other than possibly small return from
the commission man, or local grocer, and
the increased variety of his own menu,

FLEMlNG'S LANDING BRIDGE
Final InstaIlment Due For Repairs Is
Settled BY Kent County Levy Court
-Prothonotary LeFeVers Office.

All the members of Kent's Levy
Court were in their seats at its
De- ember meeting yester ay and the
court ordered paid the final INSTALL
ment due on Fleming's Landing
Bridge, built jointly several years
ago by New Castle and Kent
counties. The final installment,
which the court paid was 81, 232.O7
This installment, however, was not
really due until now, as the old Levy
Court made an agreement for partial
payments of its indebtedness to New
Castle county which county had pro-
ceeded and built the Fleming's
bridge across the d ividing creek be-
tween Kent and New Castle. Sheriff
Maloney was allowed a bill of S399
! for November. The explanation
was made that the bill represented
the extra costs entailed by court ex-
penses and the conveyances of prison
ers, particularly the liquor law vio-
lators, to Greenbank after sentence
in Kent county. New Castle county
workhouse bills were allowed thus
October, S240; November, $500. Com
missioner Powell showed that the
October bill had not been paid simply
because it was not presented in time
for the courts November meeting.
Prothonotary Charles H. LeFevrt
made a statement showing that the
prothonotary's Office has been made
to "pay its way" during this year
Mr.. LeFevre's statement showed
that after paying the office expenses
the salaries of prothonotary ant
deputy-the sum of $205. 81 had beel
: turned into the county treasury, pro
fit. There is a general feeling amoni
the progressive citizens of Kent tina
all the county officers can thus b
made to more than pay their own eX
penses, thus relieving the county {
{ q drain experienced since the count
Il officers were placed on fiat salar
q basis and prevented from pocketin

really great musicians of the country
Doctor Minor C. Baldwin. DR..
Baldwin has played in all the large
cities of the world as his credentials
both private and public show. He was
the official organist at the Worlds
Fair st. Louis and has appeared
no less than twelve times in some
cities and has appeared before King
Edward of England. The universal
verdict in each case has been that
he was a master of music. The chief
characteristic of his interpretations
is that he imparts new meaning to
the old melodies as we'll as the most
classical selections of Wagner and a
Bach. 1t is not strange that the
large auditorium was packed to the
doors and that all were charmed and

Like Big Barn Burning Plot.
H. M. and E. J. Rostine, progress
sive farmers in the vicinity of Wyom-
ing suffered the loss of this years
crops on Wednesday morning last
when fire of incendiary origin laid
their barn and granary to waste.
The forage was fired about midnight
and had gained too much headway by
the time help arrived. The ROstines
saw some men on November 29 loiter-
ing around their place, and they be-
gan to fear that they were being
marked by the strangers for some in
Jury. Wednesday morning all their
forage crops, their corn that had been
husked and that still unhusked which
had been stacked in winrows back
of their barn, and several of their
Buildings are smoul 'ering in ruins.
/ The incendiaries set fire to the win
rows of corn, and the dry stuff burned
like tinder and oon had blaze that
aroused the whole neighborhood. Mr..
Rostine made a statement to the
authorities Thursday morning in which
he declared he and his father ar
rived in Delaware from Sandusky.

NOW WORKED UP HARTLY
SHEPHERD JOSLYN A WELL-TO-
DO CITIZEN MARKED AS VICTIM
Trap Set to Work Him Out of $4,000
Failed to Work and Plot Fell
Through. Officials on Lookout.

People of Hartly and Marydel on
the boundary line between Delaware
and Maryland, says the Wilmington
Every Evening, have another sensa-
tion, the residents being wrought up
over a "Black Hand letter received
Wednesday by Shepherd Joslyn, a
wealthy retired citizen of Hartly, in
which demand was made for SIS, 900
with the statement that eff Jos'yn
would rather live than die, he had
better not fail to put the money in
box, as directed" 4" The directions
of the writer were to place 10 S100
bills in a box, together with four
81, 900 bills at the seventh telegraph
pole leading from Hartly to Marydel.
That he was to place the money in
the box, close the lid and not pick it
up. He was further warned that if
he disclosed the contents of the letter
he would be killed by trap set for
him. The letter, according to the
postmark, was mailed at Marydel,
Md, and was particularly noticed by
Postmaster Hutchins, whose attention
was attracted by the peculiar writing.
1t is supposed to have been mailed in
the box outside of the postofice some
time during the early morning OF
Wednesday or Tuesday night. Wher
Mr.. Joslyn received the letter he at
first thought it a joke, but after
consideration decided to acquaiut hi:
friends of the contents. AS soon as
the contents became known in the
village, it was decided to have
number of men watch the designed
location. The box was found near
telegraph pole, but instead of tn
seventh if was the sixth. From tn
box ran a string several hundred fee
long, leading to cannery on the roa
from Hartly to Marydel. 1t was tn
intention, evidently of the party,
the money was placed there by Joslyn
to pull the box to the cannery, so
to avoid detection. Seven me
guarded the place Wednesday evening
but no one appeared and the box wa
not disturbed. Suspicion is directe
to party with whom Mr.. Joslyn ono
had some financial dealings. Office
of the law are working on the cas-
