prevents the fly from laying its
eggs on the roots.
Celery plants are generally i'm
proved by transplanting twice.
Celery should be well watered;
the plants should be set 8 inches
apart in rows 3 to feet apart.
1t requires a deep, rich. moist soil,
with plenty of well-rotted manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow
cultivation. In the garden celery
may be plants after some early
crop, such as lettuce, radishes,
peas or beans. AS soon as the
plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn up and a
little soil compacted about the
base of the plant to hold 1t up
right.
II the blanching is done with
earth, care should be taken that
the hearts of the plant do not be-
come filled. Boards, paper, drain
tiles, or anything that will exclude
the light may be used for blanch-
ing, but earthing up will produce
the finest flavor.

MOON TO PLAY that
HIDE And SEEK GAME
NUMBER OF ECLIPSES WILL
TAKE PLACE IN 1917
Astronomers Have Been Busy Fighting
1t Out How and When These Stunts
Will Be Pulled Off in the Skies; First
One Scheduled For January 7 and 8;

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
In 1917 the sun and moon are going
to put on one of the finest little
games of hide and seek that folks
have had chance to see for some
time, according to the astronomers
They have figured it out that there
will be seven eclipses during the year
starting with january : and ending
December %.
This is the greatest number of
eclipses that can possibly occur. The
list includes three total eclipses of
the moon, and three partial and one
annular eclipse of the sun. There
will be something doing every little
while. Unfortunately four of the
seven eclipses will not be visible to
the United States, while a fifth will
be seen by residents of only a small
slice of the country in the extreme
northwest.
Professor MorehouSe, astronomer at
Drake university, says some years
there will be five eclipses of the sun
and two of the moon or again there
will be only two eclipses in one year
both Of the sun. The annular
eclipse occurs when the moon fails
to cover the entire face of the sun
and a bright ring is seen encircling
the moon.
An unuspal phenomena occurred on
Christmas day (Monday) when the
midnight sun was eclipsed. Unfortu-
nately again, in order to see the won
derful sight, one had to be inside of
the antarctic circle.
The Complete List.
Here is a complete list of eclipses
which will occur in 1917:
h First-A total eclipse of the moon,
January 7-S. Visible to North and
South America and in part to por-
lions of Europe, Africa, Asia and Aus
tralia.
Second-A partial eclipse of the
sun, January %. Invisible to the
United States. Visible to portions of
Europe, Asia and Africa.
Third-A partial eclipse of the sun,
June 10. Visible to small section
in the extreme northwestern part of
the United States, western Canada,
Alaska and the northern portions of
Europe and Asia.
Fourth-A total eclipse of the
HOOH, July TO. IuNlSlDie W lHe
United States. Visible to Africa, and
in part to South America and Aus
tralia.
Fifth-A partial eclipse of the sun,
July 10. Invisible to the United
States. Visible in the. Southern ocean.
Sixth-An annular eclipse of the
sun, December A. Invisible to the
United States. Visible to portions Of
South America and Australia.
Seventh-A total eclipse of the
moon, December %. Visible to North
America and eastern Asia, and in
part of South America and Australia.
