CELERY GROWERS SHOULDMOVE TO SANFORD

Brick Blocks Covering Their Fields-at Kalamazoo

From the Technical World MagazineCelery brought into Kalamazoo in

one year more than 2000000 in hardcash Celery is an agricultural indus-try

¬

no expenditure for raw materialobtained from other sources enters in ¬

to Its cost of production Hence themoney all remains in the place where-it is grown For the initial outlay onemight go far to find an industry of thesoil yielding larger profits

There are more than 400 celeryplantations in and environing Kalama-zoo

¬

ranging in area from mere platsof one or two acres to broad fields oftwenty to thirty acres In addition tothere are numerous small celerypatches doing business on a lesser

scale Upward of 4000 persons inKalamazoo derive a maintenanceeither directly or indirectly from thecelery business It its cultivation areactively employed about 1800 personsSome fifty firms are engaged in ship ¬

ping the product The enormous ship ¬

ments have contributed to raise Kala ¬

mazoo to the rank of third city in thestate in freight and express tonnageThe lumber for boxes used in packing the celery cost in one year 25000

The advance in value of the one ¬

time despised marsh lands since cel-ery

¬

raising began on them reads like-a real estate fairy tale Thirty yearsago large tracts on these marsheswent begging at 2 an acre Peopledemanded Why should we buy them-at any price They arent good for any ¬

thing Today the owners of the samelands would not take 1000 an acrefor them Not a bad price for agri ¬

cultural landa swamp at that Butit would hardly be known for the sameland

Early Kalamazoo celery growershave become for the most part finan-cially

¬

well to do Some have filled inwith hard earth sections of their cel-

ery¬

fields making building lots onwhich they have erected trim housesand are living comfortably on theirrents

This filling in of the celery bedsand their transformation into building-lots Is going on rapidly in all parts ofthe city It is the fate of any agri ¬

cultural industry established withinthe bounds of a fastgrowing city tobe doomed by the prosperity which-it creates Kalamazoo is increasing-in population phenomenally The cel-

ery¬

plantations adjoin and are sur-rounded

¬

by residences and businessportions and each year sees large bus-iness

¬

encroachments on the celerymargins Whole streets of factoriesshops and dwellings now stand wherecelery once grew

There are those to predict that Kal ¬

amazoo celery has no future Onefarseeing celery dealer declares that-if the city continues to grow at itspresent rate in ten years time everyfoot of celery ground will be demand-ed

¬

for building purposes and not astalk of celery will be grown in Kala-mazoo

¬

A big opportunity is hovering oversome place Kalamazoo celery grow ¬

ers are already casting their eyesabout on other sections of the countrythat may promise the requisite condi ¬

tions of soil

GERMANYS LATESTNAVAL GIANT

Some Views of an European NavalExpert

Berlin Aug 31The German gov-ernment

¬

has just placed an order withBlohm Voss a great shipbuilding-firm at Hamburg for an armoredcruiser of 22000 tons displacementOrders for some of the material re-quired

¬

in her construction have al ¬

ready been placed but the ship her ¬

self will not be laid down until Sep-tember

¬

The cruiser Is the one provided forin the estimates for the current yearand is one unit in a programmewhich comprises also three battle ¬

ships and twelve destroyers-The German vessel is known for

the present as G and she is thethird to be built for the German navysince the introduction of thel3rpadnaught type The first the Blucherdisplaces 14000 tons and was launch-ed

¬

at Keill in April 1907 The sec-ond

¬

known as E was laid down atthe Blohm Voss works in Marchlast Her displacement is 19000 tonsspeed 25 knots and armament twelve11inch guns She will thus be equal-ly

¬

as fast as the IndomitableBesides being the fastest English

cruiser nearly 2000 tons larger andpossessing an armament capable offiring metal to the weight of 9120poudns to the British cruisers 6800pounds

What the armament of G will be-

I am not at present in a position tostate Seeing however that she is todisplace 3000 tons more than her im ¬

mediate predecessor it is plain thatshe will be a far niore formidable ves-sel

¬

and it has in fact been suggested-that she will carry no fewer thansixteen 11inch guns-

It is interesting to note that whilethe German ship of this years pro ¬

gramme will be laid down next monththe British cruiser of the 190S9 esti-mates

¬

will not according to an officialstatement in Parliament be laid downuntil February next Further thecontract for the three German battle ¬

ships were all placed three monthsago while the British battleships willnot be laid down until January

TWO NAMES ON THE TICKET

Will be the Probable Result of theKehoeMays Contest in the

Third DistrictPensacola Sept IThe decision of

Judge Malone in ordering the congressional committee of the third districtto reconvene and declare a nominationfor Congress on the face of the returns gives Mays a temporary victory-but as Mr Kehoe has already a certificate of nomination it is very likelythat both candidates will be put on theticket

I had anticipated that Judge Ma-lone would grant the motion to makethe temporary order permanent saysMr Kehoe and consequently am notsurprised-

I am not in a position to state untilafter consulting with my attorneywhat the next step will be but you canstate upon authority that this decision of Judge Malone does not settlethe matter as the litigation has prac ¬

tically just started-Mr DAlembertes View v

Chairman DAlemberte of the con ¬

gressional committee saysThe congressional committee has

already declared Mr Kehoe the nomi-nee and has filed with the secretaryof state the certificate of nominationThe secretary of state has in turn certified this to the various boards offcounty commissioners in the severalcounties of the district

If the court causes the committeeto reconvene and declare Mr Mays thenominee I do not see what effect itwill have except to put both namesupon the ticket to be voted in the gen ¬

eral election as Mr Kehoe has alreadybeen certified as the nominee
