effect of the mulching. The weeds start 
under the paper, and the soil dries out so 
that the good effect is lost. The paper 
must be kept flat and close to the ground 
in order to be of any service. We put 
stones on tbe paper to hold it down, and 
in some cases throw dirt on top of it. 
This held the paper flat and prevented 
evaporation. Newspaper, however, is too 
light, and will soon wear out. And here 
is another use for paper. Some farmers 
lay sheets of paper here and there in the 
cornfield, putting stones at the center. 
The stones hold the paper securely, while 
the sides and corners flap in the wind and 
frighten the crows away. As a scare¬ 
crow this often works well.

You can bleach celery white and clean without boards—so 
that it brings the highest prices. How is it done ? 
You can use a cheaper bleacher than boards—something that 
will do the work better and cost less. What is it ? 
Here is the Answer 
Write us for a sample of the R & D Celery Bleacher. Every 
grower who has tried it uses nothing else. Just send us a 
postcard with your name and address—you’ll get sample and

Fall Lettuce; Celery in Frames 
1. I would like to know when should 
the seed be sown fur Fall lettuce in or¬ 
der to get it to head at the proper time, 
when it is usually in demand in the Fall. 
What kinds would you advise for this 
section ( Eastern Ohio I ? 2. In the “new 
celery culture,*’ how far apart should the 
plants be set, if set in hotbeds, after the 
hotbeil plant season is over? F. c. L. 
Barnesville, O. 
1. We generally start our Fall lettuce 
for planting in cold frames about August 
15, and allow just a month until the first 
transplanting. The seed is sown on fine¬ 
ly sifted soil in flats, wetted thoroughly 
and covered with a newspaper for three 
days. Tbe plants are kept as cool as 
possible and transplanted directly into 
the frames about the middle of Septem¬ 
ber. For leaf lettuce we use Brand Rap¬ 
ids. and for bead lettuce Big Boston and 
May King, The frames are covered with 
sash as the first frost appears, and as 
these increase in intensity straw mats 
are added for protection. 
2. After removing our early plants 
from the hotbeds, the celery plants are 
set 7 in. apart, thus making about 50 
plants per sash. We have tried fl-in. 
spacing, hut the plants become too spin¬ 
dly and we have found the 7-in. spacing 
the most satisfactory. T. it. t.
