Celery returns large profits from
small areas and is not difficult to
grow. NJ. F. Ahearn, instructor in
horticulture at the Kansas Agricul-
tural College, says so.
1T is one of the most important OF
garden crops" said Mr.. Ahearn a 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
fat 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 vigorous bed:
The time Of transplanting to the gar
den is from June to August.

seasons on the same ground. When

to give the expanding foliage and

II you have only small number of

Irrigation is necessary for grow

II the rows are far enough apart. A

The furrow is then filed with water
and kept filed until the ground ia

Another suggested cause OF glacial
periods is that they have been due to

is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much OF the earth's heat comes

finds that the change OF position in re-
