William Drummond is among the
Pensacolians enlisted in the British
service. Recently he left here to re
turn to his native country and en-
listed in the aviation service, and was
assigned to duty in the Royal Flying
squadron.
Mr.. Drummond, after spending
some weeks at the instruction camp
has qualified as an aviator and ex-
poets to be sent to the front soon.

NOT DIFFICULT TO
RAISE CELERY CROP
Plants May Be Set Out Early in
July in North-PIant Re-
quireS Attention.

Celery plants may be set out early
in July in the North and in the milder
climates planting is carried on up to
the first of August. 1t is not as diff
cult to raise celery as people believe,
although the crop requires more at
tention than the average garden
plants. The best way is to raise your
own plants for seed. The planting
Of the seed should be done very early
in the spring and after the plants
have attained good growth the real
cultivation begins.
Ground that has borne a crop of
peas makes a good celery soil, pro-
vided the crop was thoroughly fertil-
lied and cultivated. The burrows
should be about three feet apart for
the self-blanching celery and about
five feet for those kinds that are to
be blanched by banking with earth.
If boards are to be used, the rows
need not be more than three feet
apart. The burrows should be made
at least foot deep and about three
inches of well rotted manure placed
in the bottom. Scrapings from the
barnyard with a little soil mixed in
makes a good fertilizer for celery.
The fertilizer should be worked in
and well smoothed and the plants set
in a perfectly straight line about six
inches apart in the row.

(By W. J. sPILLMAN.)


How to restore and maintain the
productivity of the soil is the most
important phase of the conservation
problem. We are no longer a new
nation We have deluded ourselves
with the idea that we have unlimited
resources in land, in forests, in min
eral wealth. We have been prodigal
In the utilization of these resources.
We must now pay the penalty of this
prodigality. In many of our older
communities soil fertility has been re-
duced below the point of profitable
production. Nationwide effort at the
present time, through federal and state
agency, is directed toward the restora-
ton Of fertility in these localities. 1t
is now necessary that intelligent and
vigorous effort be made to farm cor
rectly. We must cease abusing the
soil. The domestic animal, with we'll
managed. pastures and rational sys-
tens Of crop rotation, is pre-eminently
adapted to the development of perma-
nent systems of profitable farming.
Land owners must realize this and
must take steps to improve renting
methors by stocking farms with full
complement of domestic animals,
where the renter is not able to do this
for himself, and by giving longer
leases, whereby the renter may reap
the reward of intelligent management.
Land owned originally by the gov
ernment has, in the main, been wisely
given into the hands Of millions of
small owners, each of whom manages
his own holdings as an independent
proprietor This method of disposing
Of the national domain has led to the
rapid creation of well-distributed
wealth. 1t has meant conservation
by utilization on the part of a maxi
mum number of private owners. But
the very magnitude and richness of
this heritage has led to such prodi-
gality in its use that now, when the
period of settlement is practically past,
we find ourselves confronted with in,
creased demands for food, which must
be met by soils that have been de-
pleted of much of their yielding power.

SOME ADVANTAGES
IN STACKING GRAIN
Practice Improves Quality and
Permits Early Flowing for
Crop of Ensuing Year.

The farmer in stacking grain ought
to select high spot, preferably en-
tirely off the field, which has natural
drainage but not far enough to make
useless hauling. Break up the sur
face and harrow it to a finely pow
dered mulch, to keep the ground mois-
ture out of the stack. If possible, hold
the grain off the ground, giving as
much ventilation as possible. Your
own ingenuity will tell you how to do
this with the material at hand.
Start in the center with two bundles
precisely as you would build a shock,
laying up the bundles against the sides
of this shock until you have a circle
as large as the stack you wish to
build, slanting the butts from the CEN
ter, the heads of each row fitting up
snugly to the heads of preceding row.
After you have built this fiat cone,
begin the second layer from the out
side, breaking joints" by laying the
bundles snugly in the hollows of the
first layer, heads in center. The main
purpose Of the stack is to shed water,
mind while building the stack.
Be careful to get the first four or
five layers very solid before you begin
to bulge" continuing the stack pre-
cisely as matched roof is built. Have
plenty of pitch to your bundles, laying
them with the short side up, always
building the middle high, but not so
high that the bundles will slide out of
place on the outside row. Don't at
tempt to make your stacks too big or
too high. as it adds to the labor.
Gradually draw In the stack until it
makes a peak, placing your cap
sheaves at the top precisely the same
as you would on a shock to shed the
rain. Hold the capsheaf in place with
a strong cord or wire, weighted with
anything heavy enough to hold it down,
as protection against heavy wind.
If you prefer to build a long rick
instead of a stack, the principle is
just the same. There is a good stack
er in every neighborhood, and it would
be a good plan for farmers clubs to
set date and help this man stack
until every man understands it thor
oIayhly. Be sure to make your stacks
as solid and secure as possible, or it
will be labor lost. A leaky stack is
worse than no stack at all.
What Is the Use of Stackins7
1. 1t will save grain and straw,
which might otherwise be spoiled in
the field, especially in wet weather.
2. The grain will go through a COM

Brown was happily rambling
through the land of dreams one night

the long barrel of a pistol unpleasantly
close to his face.

voice back of the formidable gun, "and
yot are dead man."

Brown.

glar, without lowering the pistol, 'is

piled Brown, digging up a slip of paper
and handing it to the burglar. Here

This is an important factor in the re-
cent increase in the cost of food.
The problem of cheap and abun-
dant food is a fundamental one in all
industrial development. 1t was the
abundance and cheapness of food that
made possible the marvellous progress
witnessed in this country during the
past century. During the last sixty
years we have brought into cultivation
the largest and richest body of agri-
cultural land in the world. While this
land was new and rich the production
OF abundant crops was accomplished
at little expense and with little knowl-
edge of the principles of conservation
of soil fertility This period of ex-
ploitive farming is now past. The cost
of production is now enhanced by
low yields, or the use of expensive
methods of maintaining high yields.
Whether the era of cheap and abun-
dant food is past depends on our abil-
ity as a people to develop cheaper and
better means Of production than now
prevail. We no longer have unlimited
undeveloped agricultural resources
Future increase in production must
come largely from better methods
of farming. Whether we, as a nation,
shall attain these improved methods
after long period of depression, ac-
companied by slow adjustment to new
conditions, as has been the case in
older countries, or whether we shall
attack the problem resolutely and in
telligently and adopt improved meth.
ods as soon as the situation demands,
depends on the efficiency of those
agencies that in recent years have
been built up in this country with a
view to meeting the problems of soil
conservation and agricultural readjust-
ments.
The effect of live stock on the fer
tility of the soil needs no demonstra-
tion. 1t is well known to every in
telligent farmer. Up to the present
time, at least, no system of agricul-
ture has been permanently profitable
without the use of domestic animals
as a means of maintaining the pro-
ductiveness of the soil.

COMPARISON HARD TO MAKE
Statistics Of Wealth In Europe and In
This Country Differ Widely, for
Various Reasons.

In Europe the statistics of wealth
are largely statistics of income, on ac.
count Of the prevalence of the in.
come tax there, while our statistics OF
wealth in this country are largely sta,
tistics of such property as is assessed
for taxation; this makes an adequate
comparison between the cities of Eu-
rope and the United States almost
impossible.
More than that, a difficulty in the
way Of comparing the wealth of
cities in relation to their population
lies in the fact that two things
are often confused in making such
reckonings; the wealth in a city may
be measured either in terms Of the
valuable property within its limits or
in terms of the property owned by its
citizens. Many suburban towns which
cannot be counted as wealthy in the
first sense are very rich on the Sec
ond basis Of accounting. We can find
no ground for the report that places
Frankfort-on-the-Main first and Hart
ford, Conn, second in per capita
wealth, and economists are Of the be-
lief that no such basis exists.
In Bulletin 1876 of the census bu-
reau the per capita valuation of as
sessed property is shown. The multi
pliers given for adjusting the assessed
to the true value of such property are
not, economists say, accurate enough
to make it possible to determine just
where the adjustment of property sub
ject to taxation is found. But Hart
ford is rather far down on the list.
Boston, San Francisco, San Diego,
Houston and other cities stand higher.

plete sweat, and will be superior in
quality to the grain threshed from the
shock.
8. Threshing is made considerably
easier, and nothing like the amount Of
help will be required, as in the case
of shock threshing, so that the total
cost will be practically equalized.
4. There is big crop this, year, and
there are not enough threshers at
hand to thresh it, nor cars enough to
haul it for weeks or perhaps months,
and this will give you good storage
at absolutely no cost. 1t will also pre-
vent the market from being glutted

which may give you better prices for
