C elery. hii-.i- -- Celery is said to be a native of ireat Britain, where it grows in low, Wet places. It has been cultivated and the made edible. Introduced into United States it grows well in soils that are moist and tilled with humus and in latitudes not too cold. Black muck is a favorite soil in the West, and where it is underlaid by gravel or some soil that will permit of a natural drainage it proves suitable. There are favorite localities where the mu:k Is so deep that it makes no difference what the subsoil Is, since by digging large open drains, a way out is made for the water. There are many places is as yet where celery soil exists unutilized for the growing of that plant. Celery is a boon to the farmer In that It takes for its natural habitat tsoil that is not suitable for many of big crops. Not only Is hare the advantage that the low lands can be used that would be otherwise but serviceable for meadows, but the generally even distribution of the muck lands and the open ditches make irrigation easily possible. Thus the farmer can be sure of a crop, even in the dryest of years. In such a case the coming in of this celery crop may make up for losses sustained on the lands that cannot be made resistant to drouth. The plant can be grown on the uplands, where of course its success will be determined largely by the state of the weather. Fertilizing is done as for other crops, and in such cases barn-yar- d manure is preferable to any other kind. Nitrate of soda is used to some extent, as are also lime and gypsum. The seed for the early crop is usually sown in hot beds during the first half of March. If one has a greenhouse of course this may be used for starting the plants. The advice is given to cover the seed very lightly, say a sixteenth of an inch, and to keep the ground moist till the plants have obtained a good start. One writer says cover the top of the ground with paper or boards till' the seeds sprout. For the crop that is expected to ripen late in the fall the seed may be sown out of doors almost any time in spring previous to June. When the plants are large enough to transplant they should be set in rows, the plants to be six inches apart in the row aud the rows four or five feet apart. From that on the culture is not much different from that given to most other plants, surface cultivation between the tows being practiced.

The highest yield of the Turkey', our standard hard wheat, was IS bushels per acre, while the highest yield of the Zimmerman, our standard soft wheat, was 28 bushels per acre. A test was made to determine whether it is best to plow the ground in a drouth aud harrow it into shape ready for seeding at the usual time or wait until a rain comes and then plow. The early plowing was made July 30, the ground turning up hard and lumpy. It was worked with harrows and lioat until in fair tilth. October 7 a rain fell, wetting the ground four to six inches, and the late both early and plats seeded. From the time the wheat started until it was struck by the rust that on the early' plowed ground appeared more thrifty and promised a better yield. The rust ruined all plats. The early plowed land yielded 6.4 bushels per acre, the late plowed 6.5 bushels. ; A trial was made of ordinary and thorough preparation of ground for wheat. That given ordinary treatment was harrow'ed and floated until in fair condition, but having many small clods on the surface, a condition liked by many Kansas wheat growers. That given thorough treatment was gone over with disc harrow and float until a fine dust mulch four inches deep was made. The ordinary treatment yielded 19 bushels per acre, weighing 53.7 pounds per struck bushel. The 22.4 bushels treatment gave thorough per acre, weighing 54.7 pounds per struck bushel, a gain in yield of nearly 18 per cent for thorough treatment. Two trials wrere made of ordinary treatment of ground for wheat, thorough treatment and of treating It w'ith the Campbell packer. In one test the yields were, ordinary treatment, 15.5 bushels; thorough treatment, 17.7 bushels, and treated with the packer 18.4 bushels. In the other trial the yields per acre were, ordinary treatment, 8.6 bushels; thorough treatment, 9.8 bushels; subsurface packer run over the ground once, 10.4 bushels, and packer used three times, 10.7 bushels. The station has had an acre in wheat continuously for the past eighteen years without manure to test the fertility of the land. This year just before the appearance of the rust this acre promised a yield of 30 bushels. The wheat was nearly destroyed by the rust and the yield was 9.77 bushels. The product of eighteen years has been 342.5 bushels, an average of 19 bushels per year. The chief work of the station this season In wheat has been In crossing varieties to secure higher yields and more gluten.
