The great bulk of the northern-grown

truck-crop feature of the general farm
ing in sections where the industry has
gained a foothold. The cabbage crop
takes a regular place in the farm 70

chief money crop of the fall season

held by potatoes in other sections.

The development and extension of

garden crops without protection and
many of the more tender crops with
only slight protection during the win
ter months. The islands of the coast
of South Carolina, in the vicinity of
Charleston, are so protected by the
warm currents and by the atmosphere
of the sea that orange trees are grown
successfully in the open. and in some
favorable seasons are known to pro
duce fruit It is therefore possible to
grow the harder truck crops in the
open and the more tender ones with
very slight protection during the win
ter.
The advantages of the Norfolk re-
gion for truck work appealed to a
Jerseyman by the name of Hugh
Bates, who went to this section about
1910. Naturally he followed the prac-
tices of his home people OF New Jer.
sey In the new territory, and, while
he found some of his precautions un-
necessary, his work on the whole was
successful. He was followed later by
other growers from the same terri
tory.
It was not until 30 years later that
the first all-rail shipments OF truck
were made from this territory. Rail
ways began carrying the products
from Norfolk to northern markets in
1885, and from Charleston in 1888.
The methods employed to adapt
cabbage to the requirements of the
market and to the different areas in
the trucking region are distinct and
each forms a chapter I'm the cultural
history of this important truck crop
For instance, at the south cabbage is
a winter crop, seeds being sown dur
ing September and October, the plants
transplanted TO the field at the begin
ming of winter, and kept in a slowly
growing condition throughout the
colder portion of the year, TO be
forced rapidly by the addition OF stim
ulating fertilizers early in the spring
to supply the demands Of the market
as the warm weather comes on. This
product is naturally very soft anC
