THE CELERY INDUSTRY IN THE SALEM DISTRICT -' f - "A biennial plant belonging to. the natural order ITm- j bclliferae, which in its native condition, is known in England a smallage. Plants raised from seed, sown either in a Jiot t' led or in the open garden, according to the season of the year, and after one or two thinnings and transplanting, they are; on attaining a height of six or eight inches, planted out , in deep trenches for convenience of blanching, whieb. is ef fected by earthing tip, and so excluding the stems from the influence of light." . The above is the definition of celery as given by the Cyclopedia Tirittaniea. The following Is the wording of the lines under the heading of ' Celery "in Farmers? Bulletin 1044, on "The City Home Garden," published by the United States Department of Agriculture: P "There is nothing particularly difficult about growing celery after the plants are started. The celery seed bed re- quires very careful watering until the plants are up and large enough to transplant, As a rule, it will be best for city 1 gardeners to purchase plants that are ready for setting in the ; ' garden. Celery requires a rich soil and plenty of moisture. '."'' Any one desiring to grow.it should write to the United States department of Agriculture for a copy of the Farmers' Bulletin on celery (No. 282), which gives full directions for . , growing the crop. The White-Plume, Golden Self lilanciung and Boston Market are among the best varieties for the home ; garden." -. " x .'

Not from theory only; bat from experience; Mr. Fukuda was born in Japan, but he has an English education arid is affable and accommodating and anxious to see his favorite in dustry "assume quickly the great importance it is bound to have in course of time. f ,' ; The reader is directed to the article in this number, the result of talk by-a Statesman reporter with Mr. Fukuda. . "There is nothing particularly difficult about growing celery a f ' ter the plants are started," as the Government expert quoted above ays.: ; . ; ' . .

The writer. has seen good. celery raised even on our clay soil; where a great deal of fertiliser was used, and some irrigation. .:. But the best soil we have for celery growing on a commercial scale 'is our famous ' beaver dam," and we have a lot of it ; at least ,'UXX) acres jof it tributary to Salem enough to grow annually, say, a huudl-ed millions of pound ."of celery Or, say, :i000 to 4000 ear loads of it. ' Sonic celery ; some money. ; ' f finis you may get a vision of what is coming to this district, to Salem, from the celery industry.: 4 :- Marion county already leads Oregon counties in celery growing. But we have only just got! a good start, , The industry is bound to have a cumulative growth. There is no, better celery land in the world than the "beaver dam" of Marion county. There is no better celery grown than that produced in the Lake lallisli district., And a net profit of 500 an acre or more can be made every year in growing celery there. i ) There will be no failure of the market; for the larger the indus try becomes the wider it will be able to reach out for markets in the fresh state; Its quality will help to assure this. . And the dehydration (demand will always take all theest. The wide world is the only limit to the market for the dehydrated article. r .

It is intensive farming with a vengeance. The reader will note that Prof. Bouquet says the cost of producing runs from 175 to S250 an acre. But the pioneer grower of the Lake La Ibish district puts it at about $1200 an acre. He knows. And still there is a good $300 net an acre in it; and a good deal more, for the brain and brawnworker. S S Salem is in the lead on celery In this state now; and the reader is invited to watch the industry grow. He is going to have some surprises, if he is not very optimistic.
