Everything éo far has seemed to act as a handicap to them and some are discouraged.. Pricés of celery seed has doubled and fertili- zer is advancing. The grower must forget both of these facts and get| his seed beds ready, hoping for a zood yield and fair returns. Onei sint in favoer of the celery is that | igh prices of seed and fertilizer will irtail the acreage and tend to pre- Vent a glut in tho Northern markets, Many growers will not touch cel- ery 'this season. Some will plant Irish potatoes, and cne expects to put in 200 aeres. He made money 28t year and worked only a part of the season. Other crops which were tried last year will be followed up agein this season. After the celery crop was over last spring, it was fol- lowed by corn, tomatoes and later by hay. one point in the State was more good hay stored for winter use than in the Sanford section. Every farmer in the celery delta has hay for hls’ live stock and if any grower buys hay before next spring it will be be- csause he was too lazy to make the hay on his land. The celery growers as a whole in the delta section are entering into' the new season with a firm determi- nation to make a success, They real- ize that the land will produce good crops and there is a general getting together of farmers, which means thet market conditions, cold storage and freight rates will be adjusted so that the grower will get all that is coming to him.
