Mr.. Tulley explained that the com

secure some of that amount. According
to the law, the state commission expends
one dollar for every two expended by

THE CABBAGE INDUSTRY IN COLO

only objection that can be made to this

alton In prices from year 10 year.

regard to the possibilities in cabbage

they could not afford to grow cabbage

cabbage may be grown for % cents a

price during any ten year period, how

decidedly lower than either of the above
mentioned products.
The cabbage may be grown on nearly
all soils and In quite diversity OF eli
