AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW NJ SOULE

| that has been made so far has been
due to the solution of some of the
! marketing problems mentioned
above. Take the case of hogs for
example: A few years ago it was
considered impossible to grow and
| ship hogs from Georgia to the west
ern market without a considerable
| loss. At the present time, however,
it is possible to ship to these mar
kets and receive a profit even in
| the face of competition with a bet
| ter grade Of hogs from other Sec
tons. This has been made possible
by producing hogs with cheap feeds
: at a lower cost per pound and by
reducing the cost Of marketing by
organized, cooperative shipments.
There is a small surplus on most
farms of some of the crops grown
for home supply. The problem of
marketing this kind of produce at
a profit has never been solved, and
probably never will be because it is
usually not possible to assemble such
surplus in marketable quantities,
and there is no uniformity whatever
as to the quality and condition of
such produce.
AS a rule, the farmer himself is
not, Disseminated against by the
produce trade, but his produce is
often below standard, and will not
bring a satisfactory price in competi-
ton with fancy produce, well-graded
and well-packed. Therefore, it must
be handled at a disadvantage both
to himself and the produce dealer.
This condition has existed so long
it will take a great deal of effort and
determination on the part of the
Georgia farmer to build quality into
his products so that they will COM
mand the highest market prices.

9. @. What was decided about the
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-02-07

f. M. D., LaWrenceville, Ga,
writes: Kindly give me all the
information you can in regard
to growing celery, and oblige.
Celery is a plant widely and IA
vorably known because Of it's crisp
texture and rich nutty flavor. It is
a valuable addition to the human
dietary. It does best on soils that
are moist, low-lying and consist pri-
marily of muck or loan. 1t thrives
well often on lands which are entire
ly too wet to produce other vegeta-
bles satisfactorily. We dc not be-
lieve the commercial cultivation of
celery could be practiced to a large
extent in Georgia except in soils of
similar areas. Of course it may be
possible to grow this crop satisfac-
torily if planted in the early fall
and carried through that season of
the year to maturity by means of
sub or surface irrigation. This meth
cd Of producing celery is practiced
to a considerable extent in Florida
mers would be exceedingly trying
on this plant unless it could be
shaded and well supplied with mois-
ture. One difficulty would be to pro-
duce the plants and have them in
condition to set just at the right time
of year.
Celery seed should, as a rule, be
sown in boxes or cold frames, and
when the plants are about two
inches high they should be trans
planted into other boxes or cold
frames. They should be spaced then
about six inches apart in each direc-
=, tiCn to give them a good distance to
develop, When they are six inches
high they should be transplanted
into the burrows in which they are
to be grown. After the plants are
set out the earth should be worked
to them gradually so as to keep
them well covered and insure the
| most rapid growth and complete
blanching. Young plants would need
to be protected in our climate
| against the intense heat and strong
| light of the sun, as the idea would
| be to have them ready to set out
about the first of September. They
| could then grow and develop during
the cooler part of the year. One
might produce this crop to some eX-
tent, as you see, where soil condi-
| lions are 1dVOrable, but as a rule
| the cultivation of celery should not
be attempted except for home use.
Celery may be blanched, of course,
by combining it between boards. This
is not as effective a plan, however, as
that of blanching in the soil. Celery
may also be blanched by wrapping
in MANILA paper.
| Good varieties of celery to plant
| are the White Plume Self Rlanchino
and Giant Pascal. This crop requires
100 to 100 days to mature. 1t re.
Quires one ounce Of seed to produce
5000 plants, or one-half pound OF
seed per acre. AS a rule celery
should be planted in 3.5 to- 4-foot
rows and the plants spaced 10 to "a
| inches apart in the drill row. There
are some moist valleys in north
Georgia, no doubt, where this crop
can be grown to- advantage, even
from commercial point of view.
