The celery , grower who treats his plants for this blight -Should do so in such a manner so as to never allowj the blight to get started. This is done by seeing that the plants are dusted or sprayed when they 'are quite young in the seed bed or at least some time before they are put in the field. Dusting with copper ilime dust is in gen eral use and the . application of this .materia early in the game is usually,' followed by another ap plication, two or three sometimes, in the field according to the kind M.HtVi. 1141 At A I, " w,l""!r IUUU1L1UU, during. the summer and the fall, Ely morning dusting is the best when the, dew Is on the leaves and the air is still.

He was paid by the 'state, $3 8.00 a ton -for his flax, j t v j; Mr. Turnidge was new In the flax game but is so well satisfied with his first experience that he will plant 15 acres this year. In summing up his past year's ex perience, Mr. Turnidge says the hardest part of the crop was in the pulling. All the seven; acres were pulled by hand, for which Mr. Turnidge paid $20.00 an acre. In figuring up his costs, Mr. Turnidge includes rent of three acres at $15 an acre and rent of four acres at $10 an acre, a total of $85.00. charged to rent. ' Mr. Turnidge sold to the state nis 19 tons ot flax for $38.00 a ton, bringing , him $722.00 Against this total amount re ceived, he paid out on-the seven acres as follows: jj Cost of 14 bushels of seed. $3 5.00 Plowing .

Rev. "A. H. Dodd, a friend of many years, conducted the services,-reading as the lesson the Nineteenth Psalm, which was the favorite of Mr Hart, and which he had recited to the family shortly before falling asleep in his final rest. All eight of his children were present at the services, as well as many of the grandchildren and a large number of" other relatives and friends.

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of 4 my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength, and my redeemer." Eighty-five years is a goodJy span of life, and when a man has lived the years full of usefulness as had this man we can say,, "he has fought the good fight, his race is run." "The dust shall return td the earth as It was. and the Spirit to God Who gave it." .

The sales of stock on hand so far are very gratifying, as only about a carload -and a half remain to be shipped out, and it is ex pected to have entire stocks clean ed up by the time the fiscal year of the'eannery ends.
