OD0RLESS CABBAGE is HERE
New Vegetable introduced From
Shantung Province of China Grown
On Experimental Plots

a new Chinese odorless cabbage, in
troduced into this country from the
Shantung province of China, has been
grown on experimental plots near
Washington. David Fairchild, who is
in charge of the governments work i'm
plan introduction, and Dr. ID. n. Shoe
maker. a horticultural expert in the
bureau of plant industry, have been
doing the work. The odorless cabbage
is rated as a great delicacy by those
who have tasted It, 1t was discovered
in China by the plant explorers of the
department Of agriculture Besides
lacking the cabbage smell. il has the
additional advantage of being a very
rapid grower.
The Chinese cabbage is different in
shape from the domestic varieties
being long and narrow. 1t also re-
quires a different method of cultiva-
ton. The needs of the common cab
bage are planted in the early spring in
a hot bed or cold frame, and the young
plants are set out after the danger OF
frost is past The seeds of the new
Chinese cabbage, however, are planted
during the first week of August in the
open ground, and they head UP in the
early winter.
The vegetable is adaptable to prac-
tically all sections of the country

lime in the soil may then be consid-
cred the real cause of the acidity
which develops. This lack of lime in
some soils is brought about by leach
ing, by cropping, and by the absence
OF lime in the rock from which the
soil was formed
Practically all the loss Of lime from
the soil is caused by teaching In the
formation of soil from rocks, the soil
always acquires lime. Whenever the
rainfall Is sufficient, the lime is gen.
orally washed out of the soil into
streams and away to the ocean. Lime,
then, does not accumulate in soils in
humid areas, but in regions Of little
rainfall 1t does collect and so is pres
ent to neutralize any acidity which
tends to develop through the decay of
organic matter. AS a rule, therefore,
the soils of dry climate are not acid;
IN fact, they usually are alkaline. The
soils of a humid climate, on the other
hand, naturally tend to become acid.
IL is only where unusual conditions
prevail such as the existence Of rot
ten limestone rock directly under the
soil. the presecne in the soil of lime
stone rock ground up by glacial &C
ton. or the blowing of soils from a
dry area into an area Of greater rain
fall, that the soils are not acid.

submarine, which was a dream In
1865, is owned by the navy Of the
smallest power. 1t is true that single
submarines are not expected to &C.
complish much in a real struggle, SO
the larger navies of the great powers
have fleets of submarines. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found in the possession Of all arm
les in Europe today, yet they, too, are
only expected to be of real service
when they are possessed in large mum
bers.
The airships and the submarines are

the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
AeropIane and Wireless.
in the recent smaller wars, aero
planes have been used TO a limited ex-
tent, and this use has been SO much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by
the present war.
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range Of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in
deed, is a custom every day, to send
and receive messages from a distance
OF more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is a new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tions on this side Of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was In existence In
1904. but 1t was very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet it's
real value is yet to be determined, and
it Is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.

Submarine in War.
Many Of the early submarines are
small and probably OF little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more OF the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor In
deciding naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up TO the present
time it has done nothing to prove it's
value. Ii was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as it's physical eff
feet upon an enemys warship, but
this belief has not been justified up TO
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other. But it has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled TO re-
sort TO the use OF the periscope, which
energies unostentatiously above the
water. In order to see it's own course.
1t Is known that the periscope Is
the eye OF the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid TO the best
way OF destroying this vital part OF

dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make a
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But il has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace
the course OF a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as IL il was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine. and
they both are supposed TO be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like a
fish.
