Cabbage Crop . Failure.

Muscatine. Aug Probably never
in the history OF the local truckers has
the ca bbage crop been more OF failure
than it has been this season The ship
ping of this vegetable to the various
large markets has been one OF this
citys chief commercial outputs during
the summer months. there being hun
dreds of carloads shipped annually
This year the shipments have not
reached the halfway mark OF previ-
Gus years A large number or school
boys who in former years have OBJ
tanned employment at the different
commission houses in the capacity OF
crate nailers. and up to this year have
had work up until school starts In the
fall. are now idle, there being no de-
mard for the crates.
The prospects for large crop were
very good at the beginning OF the seas
on, there being sufficient rain for the
young plants. but the drouth during the
latter part Of June and the fore part
Of July Is given as the cause OF the
crop failure.
