CABBAGE GROWING IN MISSISSIPPI.

Charleston Wakefield are planted 16

Flat Dutch are planted 20 to "a
inches apart in rows 81 feet apart.
In the cabbage growing region of
South Carolina the plants are set
about Is inches apart in rows 3 to 81
feet apart.
Plants set out the last of January
or first of February should be ready
for market by May 18th in this local
ity. and should be off of the ground
by July 1st For the fall crop in
this latitude the seed can be sown in
rows in the field from August LIST to
10th and the plants thinned out to
the proper distance. This method is
followed on account of lack of rain
to make good planting season in
September. Plants set out in our
grounds in September are giving us
good heads for the market now, while
those from seed sown directly to the
field headed up in November and
December.

Onion Growing in Louisiana.

Messrs. Editors: I've had con-
tinued success In raising onions by
the following method:
In the latter part Of January or
the first OF February. l plant the
seed of the Prizetaker onion in a
thoroughly prepared seed bed, which
has been heavily fortified with we'll
rotted COW lot manure. l have the
land for my 'onion patch" we'll
broken, and narrowed to break all
clods, and rows made with turning
pillow, three feet apart. These rows
are opened and the opening filled
with droppings from the fowl house
and COW lot manure. There is no
danger of putting in too much ma
nure. | then have the rows made
up again with the pillow, and smooth
ed down with drag, that may have
plain garden soil in which to trans
plant my little onions. which are
ready to transplant the latter part Of
March.
| set them about 6 inches apart,
and as soon as grass or weeds begin
to grow, l have them hoed, and hoed
again whenever General Green"
shows his head. have them plowed
with turning shovel or some other
small pillow every ten days or two
weeks to loosen the soil and give the
roots chance to go deeper into the
ground.
A few rows OF onions in the veget-
able garden, cultivated in this way,
give us plenty to use through the
spring and summer. and we harvest
sufficient quantity to last through
the fall and far into the winter

crop are sown In cold frames
in rows about inches apart,
early In November for the early
crop, and at intervals of a week
or ten days for a succession OF crops.
Here on the college grounds we have
been growing cabbage plants in cold
frames made of 12-inch boards, feet
high at the back. and one foot high
at the front. about feet wide. and
covered with canvas. During the
recent cold spell. when the tempera-
ture reached the minimum OF IL de-

For a small home garden enough

Soil and Fertilizer for Cabbage.
The best soil for cabbage Is clay
loan made loose and friable by hui
mus and deep cultivation. A combi-
nation OF barnyard manure and com
mercial fertilizer gives best results.
If barnyard manure Is used alone,
80 to 40 tons should be applied per
acre. and IL commercial fertilizer
alone Is used. from one TO two tons
should be applied. depending upon
the character OF the soil. In some
sections OF the South a fertilizer rich
In nitrogen and potash with COM
paratively n low per cent OF phos-
phoric acid is used. A good fertilizer
will analyze about per cent potash,
7 per cent nitrogen. and s per cent
available phosphoric acid. In Mis-
sisslppi potash does not seem TO IN
crease the yields and Is seldom ap-
piled. Cottonseed meal and good
grade OF acid phosphate give good
results when applied at the rate OF
1900 pounds each. On stiff clay land
the commercial fertilizer Is OF very
little value when used alone, unless
there Is plenty OF humus present In
the soil. The fertilizer may be sown
broadcast with drill or sown IN the
row and covered over. When the
land Is ridged. the fertilizer may be
distributed In the row and the ridge
made over II. as is done In some OF
the large cabbage growing regions.
Preparation and Cultivation OF Land
In some sections OF the South all
early crops are sown on ridges be-
cause there Is so much moisture in
the soil In spring. For cabbage the
land is ridged by throwing together
two or four burrows with a turning
