LATE CELERY AND ITS CARE.
Some Varieties Are Cultivated Until
the Latter Part of September.

Some Varieties Are Cultivated Until
the Latter Part of September.
Late varieties are cultivated until the
latter part of September. when han
ding begins. says NJ. G. Kains in the
American Agriculturist. Before hnn-
ding cultlvator is run between the
rows to make the ground fine mud
loose. Another cultlvatOr. with side
shovels. Immediately follows to throw
the dirt toward the rows. Men then
get oil their knees between the rows
and. holding up the leaves with one
hand. with the other shove up-a hnnd-
fui of dirt around the bottoms Of the
plants to hold the leaves IN an upright
position.
Immediately after the handling
celery hitler Is run between the rows
and the dirt thrown up ut least six
inches high around the plants. Later
on the hitler is used again. when the
dirt Is thrown up rs high as possible
Nothing more is done until trenching
time. Trenchins White Plume celery
begins about Oct. 20. The process con
slsts simply In digging trench about
one foot wide and deep enough so that
when the celery is placed In the trench
the tops will stick out about two
inches.
For digging an attachment similar to
an onion set harvester and made ut
the blacksmith's Is fastened to two
horse riding cultivator. The celery is
then pulled up by hand. most of the
dirt shaken from the roots and the
broken and decayed leaves and suck
ers pulled Off. It. is then carried to
the trench. where a man in the trench
packs it tightly in mn upright position
No dirt is placed around the roots.
The boards used in blanching celery
are nailed together v shape and
placed over the trenches to keep of
rain and prevent sun and wind from
whiting the celery. Manure Is then
placed in piles along the trenches. On
the approach of cold weather little
manure is placed along the bottom Of
the boards, and when the weather be-
comes very severe more manure is
added. Two inches of manure over
the boards are usually enough. One
of the secrets of keeping celery is to
keeps the tops dry.

You've cheered no heart by yea or nay.

NOTE TO BRITAIN
OPPOSES ACTIONS

Washington, Jan. 25.-Vigorous op-
position to Great Britain's trading
with the enemy act" is lodged in rep
reservations the United States is
sending the British foreign office The
communication has been prepared for
transmission following the receipt of
the text of the act from Ambassador
Page. Although the representations
do not take the form of a protest for
the reason that the act is limited in
its immediate application to British
subjects, strenuous objection is di-
rected against any attempt to apply
the legislation to American trade.
The United States contends that the
proposed interference with trade is
illegal and that it would be next to i'm
possible to successfully aim a blow
at Germany without doing grave in
justice to American commerce.

over INCOME TAX
..0PENSWAY T0ACT

Washington, Jan. 25-Legfssation to
increase governmental revenues to
meet the expenses of national defense
is expected to take definite shape now
that all doubt as to the constitution
atty of the income tax has been re-
moved by the supreme courts deci-
sion Congressional leaders had
taken no definite steps toward solu-
ton of the revenue problem pending
the courts decision.
Leaders expressed the belief today
that the decision had paved the way
for increasing the tax rate on great
private fortunes to aid in paying for
national defense. Bills to tax in
comes of more than $1,000,000 as high
as so per cent are now before con-
gress.
The democrats are gratifed over the
decision. In the opinion of admins
tration leaders the decision has I'M
fettered a fruitful source of revenue
and rendered easier the revenue prob
lem confronting the government.
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
author of the income tax law, express
es the belief that congress will take
advantage of the decision to amend
the law materially. He declares that
without any unjust changes it can be
made to yield an additional 100000
600 annually. The law now brings in
to the treasury $S5,OO0,O0O to $9O,O0O,-
