FOLDING CABBAGE

where this disease has never appeared
When the plants are ready to set out
inspect the seed bed very carefully
and II any cases of the disease are
found reject all the plants and set
from some other bed. One cannot af-
ford to run any risk of injecting his
land by the use of seedlings from sus-
picious beds. 1t would be better to
plant some other crop than to take
| this risk. A good practice is to strew
the land to be used for seed bed with
straw or dry brush and burn 1t over
before plowing. The seed bed should
be made in different place each year.
Set the plants on land which has
not been in cabbages or other crucifer.
possible to avoid following cabbages
by cabbages, at least take the precau-
ton to pa only on land which has
never suffered from this disease. To
follow any other course is simply to
invite the trouble. The practice of
planting cabbages after cabbages for
a long series of years also invites 9th
err parasites, and must as rule be
considered very bad economy.
AS a matter Of precaution avoid the
use of stable manures, since these
may possibly serve as means of car.
rying the disease into uninfected
fields, that Il, through cabbage refuse
fed to animals or thrown into the barn.
yard or onto manure piles. AS far
as possible make use of commercial
fertilizers in place of barnyard ma
nures, both in the seed bed and In the
field, at least until 1t shall have been
shown conclusively that there Is no
danger In the manure pile. Too much
stress cannot be laid on the necessity
of keeping the germs out of the soil.
and consequently on the avoidance of
practices, which, If not absolutely
proved e be dangerous, are at least
Questionable
Do not turn animals into diseased
fields and then allow them to Wander
ovef other parts of the farm Cattle
or other stock should not be allowed
to roam In cabbage fields where this
disease prevails.
Keep up constant warfare against
insect enemies, especially the cabbage
butterfly and the harlequin bug.
AS palliative remove badly infect
ed plants from the fields as fast as
they appear. In early stages of the
disease, l. e., while it is still confined |
to margins of the leaves and has not
yet entered the head or stump, go
over the fields Systematically about
once every ten days and break off and
remove all the affected leaves. Do
not throw this refuse into cultivated |
fields or into bitches from which it |
can be washed to other fields, or on
roadways to be tracked about. 1t
should be burned or put into a deep
pit in some fence corner or other out.
of-the-way place.
Weeds which harbor the disease,
the wild mustards, must be
destroyed Systematically.
Store cabbages from diseased fields
only when it is impossible to sell them
in the fall, and in such cases take par.
ticular care to reject all heads show
ing any trace of black in the stump
and to keep all parts of the houses be-
low 40 degrees F, If any affected
heads are stored, they should be put
by themselves in the lowest, coolest
part of the house.

TALK 50 MILES BY WIRELESS
Germans Perfect New Ethereal Tele.

Communication Said TO Have Been
Perfect Between stations on
Outskirts of Berlin.

Berlin, Nov. 30-A remarkable feat i'm
wireless telephony has been achieved by
the Amalgamated Radi-TeIegraph COM
pany. Ltd. Perfect telephone communi-
cation. without wires has been obtained
over fifty miles on land between the com
pany's laboratory. near Berlin. and a
small station AZ Jute-bog. the whole city
Of Berlin intervening.
This was achieved by using the undamp-
ed continuous waves generated by the
system of Mr. Vlademar Poulsen. who
brought wireless telephony within posi-
bility by substituting Tor the uneven and
diminishing damped" waves they
are termed-a regular flow of such waves.
He discovered, "A method OF doing this by
the aid Of the arc" instead OF the
spark" as employed in other systems.
Hitherto however, the company has
devoted the system 10 developing its tele-
graphic service, but now. after this splen-
did triumph, It will probably 60 forward
I'm the direction Of giving the world a
practical system OF wireless telephony.
