Celery returns large profits from
small areas and is not difficult to
grow. M F. Ahearn, instructor in
horticulture at the Kansas Agricul-
tural College, says so.
ct is one of the mosi important Of
garden crops said Mr.. Ahearn few
days ago 1T is on the markets the
year around, although the fall and
early winter markets are the most
important. To grow celery proftably
requires a rich soil and an abundance
of water Seed should be sown in
fiat boxes in April or May.
Transplant the young plants one
to three times before setting in the
garden. The object of this is to en-
courage the growth of large amount
of root fiber, so when the plant finally
is set it will make a vigorous bed.
The time of transplanting to the gar
den is from June to August.
plants should not be grown many
seasons on the same ground. When
setting out the plants a ball Of dirt
should be left on the roots. If the
soil is not of the best the plants
should be shaded for a few days af-
er setting. Large varieties should

If you have only small number OF
plants they may De planted eight 10
twelve inches each way.
Irrigation is necessary for grow
ing celery in Kansas. The furrow
method may be used for this purpose
if the rows are far enough apart A
furrow is opened with a small plow,
ten or twelve inches from the plants,
throwing the earth away from them.
The furrow is then filed with water
and kept filed until the ground is
soaked. If the plants are close to-
gether they can be irrigated by
flooding

thing about celery raising The OBJ
ject of this is to cause the growth of
new stalks that do not contain chloro-

entomology at the Kansas Agricul-
tural College, believes. Farmers will
have to be watchful.
The canker worm is mainly either
in the egg stage now or just Matched.
Both the spring canker worm and the
fall canker worm may be present, but
the spring species is more abundant.
The eggs of the spring form are tiny,
oval objects, about one-thirty-fifth Of
an inch long, and vary from a yell
Iowish-green during early stages to
very dark just before Matching. They
are placed by the moth in irregular
masses Of about fifty under loose
scales of bark, in cracks and cTevices,
and in the crotches of the tree.
The eggs of the fall species are
shaped like a small flower pot They
are brownish-gray, and have the larg-
er end marked by a dark spot near
the center and a dark ring near the
margin. These eggs are laid in
clusters of about one hundred, ar
ranged in regular rows, with the
larger, black-marked end out. They
may be recognized by the fact that
they are typical inch worms; when
disturbed let themselves down on
fine silken threads like spiders; range

Plant a few sweet potatoes in your
garden this spring. They aren't hard
to grow, and what is richer TO eat
than brown sweet potatoes with
gravy? Besides, this vine is very or
namental. and its thick, dark, foliage
helps to make your vegetable garden
more attractive. Sweet potatoes are
grown by means of sets or sprouts
which grow from the root buds 1t IS
best to get them from seed growers
or gardeners. They require warm,
moderately rich, sandy land. If the
iand is too fertile, there will be
large growth of top at the expense
of the root. The plants may be set
out from the middle of May until the
first of July, or after the late frosts
are over.

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own cass
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe-
rience:
81 had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although I had palpitation of the
heart every day. (Tea contains CAT
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as cofee.)
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except On one or
two occasions when I tried a small
quantity Of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me I must let
it alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed Weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now We put a little bit Of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full 10 minutes
which gives it the proper rich favor
and the deep brown color

my friends and patients TO leave on
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I daily
give this advice" Name given By

suming the foliage of apple trees are

Where eggs or very young worms

is applied as a fine mist between the
time leaf buds open and the flower

to give the expanding foliage and

spray should be composed of two
pounds Of lead arsenate thoroughly
mixed with fifty gallons Of water.

considerable damage has been done.
the foliage of the infested trees
should be given a thorough coating
of lead arsenate, using a spraying mix

Of lead arsenate to fifty gallons Of

killed while young and comparatively
delicate, for later they are resistant
and may do mucn damage before they
can be DESTROYED.

Milky Way Causes Glaciers.

Another suggested cause of glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting of the milky way, such as
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much of the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spitaler
finds that the change of position in re-
Iation to the milky way might have
given a different distribution of tenn
perature from that existing at the
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region Of the milky
way, but many Of them are of the hot
test type.
