CABBAGE

Although one of the coarser vegetables,
cabbage finds a place in the home garden
as well as in the market garden ard the
truck farm. and in some sections cf the
United States it is extensively grown as
faKm crop. 20 adequate estimate,
however, can be placed on the value Of
this crop. as 1t huetuates very decidedly
from year to year both in acreage and
pricei but the output is large-the three
states of New York. Pennsylvania. and
Virginia which outrank all the CHEERS,
grow commercially about $1,000 acres Of
this vegetable, either as a spring or au-
tumn crop, in addition TO the home-gar-
den supply which was consumed at nome.
Eearly cabbage is practically all con-
sumed as a green vegetable; the late crop
on the other hand. is handled as a fresh
vegetable, as a storage crop, and fer the
manufacture of sauer kraut. Cabbage IS
always in demand. and under present
conditions, is always on the market either
in the spring as the product OF the south
ern farms, in the fall and early winter
from the northern farm and market gar
den, or in the winter from the storage
house where he surplus has been pre-
served for this demand.

is the first blind officer of a Juvenile
court in the world.
The girl. who radiates sunshine from
her whole being. speaks with the alac-

with q mission to perform. She is %
years old and has been blind since she
was s years old.
She has almost a mania for helping
others in distress. When she received
her commission as a. juvenile court Off
Ger. she held it up to her sightless eyes
as if she were burning every word or
the precious document into her mind
No one looking at her could have guess
ed that the paper was blank 10 her
poor unseeing eyes.
II am glad that 1 am blind is the
astonishing assertion which this Won
derful girl makes. If were to see,
there would be many unpleasant sights
which am now spared. What has been
taken away from me in one way, God
has made up to me in others. I have
a very keen sense of hearing and my
touch almost never fails me-"
