Method for Summer
Blanching of Celery
Inch Planks Made Use of to
Exclude Light.
Early planted celery will be devel-
oped to the pdint where It is ready to
bleach by the middie to the latter part
of August, Because it is proper to
bank up the plants with soil in late
October many folks make the mistake
of trying to blanch the plants in the
same way when the weather {s warm.
Early maturing celery can be
blanched by placing inch planks that
are 12 to 16 inches wide on edge on
either side of the row. The boards
can be held in position by tacking a
small strip either end. The
boards as close to-

Best Weight of Hogs to
Hog-Off the Corn Crop
Hogs of any welght may be used in
hogging off corn, but best results are
secured with the hogs weighing from
70 to 125 pounds. With good mature
corn, a dally galn of from 1% to 1%
pounds can be expected. With an av-
erage crop, we figure that an acre of
corn will supply sufficient feed for
about five pigs of the above weights
for a 60-day period, providing that
good pasture is avallable while on
corn. Hogs should have access to a
pasture which Is rich in protein and
