Transplanting Trees; Fertilizing Truck 
Crops 
1 . I wish to set out quite a few trees 
this Spring, and I would like to know 
how to do it so they will live, The trees 
will be maple, honey locust, and willow. 
These trees are growing right on my farm, 
so they could he planted within an hour 
or two after digging. They are growing 
in a deep gravel soil now and the place 
where I wish to put them is on a side hill 
that slides somewhat in the Spring. I 
wish to get trees started so that the roots 
will penetrate all this ground and hold 
it together. Some of the ground is sort 
of shale, some grave], and some mixed. 
The willows I wish to plant along a little 
brook wherever it has a tendency to 
change its course. The trees are of the 
big variety, and I wish to cut limbs about 
o ft. long so that the sheep will not kill 
them, and stick them in at places where 
water is cutting into the bank. 2. I wish 
to raise quite a few truck crops on a piece 
of land that has been plowed every year 
for much the same purpose. It is si light, 
gravelly soil, and in places it does not 
raise as good crops as the rest. It has 
always been well manured, and I assume 
that it is lime it needs. Is this probable? 
The whole will need enriching, and I have 
plenty of cow and horse manure, so I do 
not wish to buy commercial fertilizer un¬ 
less it is necessary. They are mixed at 
the rate of about two horses to four or 
five cows. But I understand if I put 
this on this Spring it will cause my rad¬ 
ishes to he wormy and my potatoes 
scabby. I have also a large quantity of 
sheep manure, in large chunks, of course, 
but I think I can get around that by 
running it through the corn shredder. 
Will this be suitable for melons, cucum¬ 
bers, squashes, etc ? 3 . I have a place 
where our drain empties, both dishwater 
and toilet. It llnws down quite a gentle 
slope to the north. On the west and east 
are hills that rise a little more sharply.

Experience with more than 60,000 Reo 
Speed Wagons now in service, proves 
that the range of adaptability of this 
wonderful truck covers every class of 
hauling and delivering where loads vary 
from 500 to 2500 pounds—“a quarter- 
ton to a ton-and-a-quarter.” 
Through all the range of agricultural 
activities—the general farm, and the 
highly specialized grain, or dairy, stock, 
or fruit farm—this Speed Wagon runs 
the gamut of service. 
Seems as if its versatility is unlimited. 
No rival has ever been able to cope 
with Reo Speed Wagons in all kinds 
and classes of carrying. They dominate 
the field regardless of carrying capaci¬ 
ties, and do the work quicker, better 
and cheaper. 
It is equally true that Speed Wagons 
are better suited to all kinds of carry¬ 
ing on farms ranging from five acres to 
fifty thousand acres in extent.

Celery Culture 
Would you inform mo the host way 
to put in a bed for celery plants, distance 
apart to transplant, month to transplant, 
cultivation, and how to keep for Winter 
market? j. e. B. 
Memphis, X. V, 
We start our late celery in flats in the 
greenhouse April 15 or thereabouts. Shal¬ 
low boxes or flats are prepared with 
coarse soil for drainage in the bottom, and 
finely sifted soil over the surface. This 
is wetted thoroughly and celery seed 
sprinkled broadcast over the surface. 
Then we generally sprinkle a little fine 
sand to hold the seed in place, and cover 
with newspaper, so that it will not dry 
out too rapidly. As the plants get about 
an inch high. May 15, nud are crowding 
badly, we transplant them to a hotbed, 
setting the tiny seedlings 2 in. apart. 
Later the plants are set either in the 
garden, .lime 15, or in a permanent hot¬ 
bed. where they are grown under the now 
celery culture as described in a recent 
issue of The It. X.-Y. We use Golden 
Self-blanching and White Plume varieties, 
the former being in greatest demand. For 
Winter storage, we take up the plauts, 
roots and all. and pack ns close as possible 
in a cool cellar. By this method we keep 
celery until after Christmas. Some grow¬ 
ers store in the ground in trenches, and 
we have had success with that method 
also. T. n. T.
