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 to be dangerous, are at least
questionable.
Do not turn animals into diseased
fields and then allow them to wander
over other parts of the farm. Cattle
or other stock should not be allowed
TO roam in cabbage fields where this
disease prevails.
All farm tools used on infected
lands should be secured bright before
using on uninfected land. The trans
fer of soil from infected to healthy
fields ought in all cases to be reduced
to a minimum.
Keep up a constant warfare against
insect enemies, especially the cabbage
butterfly and the harlequin bug.
As a palliative remove badly infect
ed plants from the fields as fast as
they appear In early stages of the
disease. /, e., while 1t 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 of 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,
especially the wild mustards, must be
destroyed systematically.
Store cabbages from diseased fields
only when 1t 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. II any affected
heads are stored. they should be put
by themselves in the lowest. coolest
part Of the house.
