usual large number of cut worms
which destroyed many acres Of cab
bage, a short crop will be experienced
locally Last year the crop in this
vicinity went down on record as
among the biggest raised here In
years. The price was unusually low,
ranging from 50 toss per ton. The
cabbage now being shipped from this
city is selling at $21 but drop in
price is predicted because of the heavy
crops raised in other sections of the
i state.
