CULTIVATE IN
CELERY PATCH
Work Should Begin After Plants
are Well Started In July
Keep Soil Out Of
Plant.


After the celery plants are we'll
started in July. commence to culti-
vate. 1t is much better to give shall
low cultivation rather than deeper
ones, as the roots Of celery grow quite
near the surface. and cultiyating two
inches deep will accomplish Just as
much as four inches, provided. Of
course, that the ground is cultivated
often enough to keep mulch of
loose soil. When the plants have at
tanned a height of about ten inches
blanching may be started
Usually the plants will be quite
spreading. and they should be first
gathered together, and held in place
with one hand. while the soil is drawn
ID them with hoe in the other hand
Care should be exercised that no soil
gets into the heartfof the plant. This
is likely to cause the plant to rot.
Killing should not be done when the
ground is dry enough to crumble. Il
done when the soil is wet the plants
are liable to rust On small scale
celery may be blanchei by putting
boards / inch thick and to IA inches
wide on each side of the row and flll
ing the space around the plants witt
sawdust or soil.

to AZ cents per 100 pounds of gain.
This is equal to about IA cents on
each lamb. Counting four lambs per

pay for itself in two years. It Is
thought that when a type of self

chopped hay better results may be Sc
cured from 1t than have hitherto been
possible, by reducing the waste caused
by wind.
