DISEASE OF CABBAGE.

Careful Seed Selection Has Produced q
Variety Resistant to YeiIows.
Successful cabbage growers near
Clyde. O., after six years trials in CO.
operation with the Ohio experiment
station have obtained strains resistant
to yellows disease. or fusarium wilt.
The All Seasons variety has shown
the least tendency to this disease, and
it also possesses qualities demanded
by the kraut industry. Plants have
been selected for seed which have
shown the strongest growth and the
greatest freedom from disease.
This procedure in combating cabbage
yellows has proved far more success
full than soil sterilization and other di-
rect control methods, growers say. Un-
der conditions of continual attack by
disease certain plants develop charac-
teristics that ward off ravages of such
parasites. By continual careful selec-
ton and propagation desired types are
produced that thrive even where dis.
ease is abundant. while common va
rieties die or else yield poor returns
The especially resistant strains of the
All Seasons cabbage have been named
the Clyde Series Nos. to Z. Nos. l.
and have proved most resistant
Within a year or two the experiment
station expects to distribute the seed Of
these strains to growers

is taken up with the plant when it is

place as soon as the danger of frost is
over. By this time the plants are in
blossom and sometimes the fruit has
begun to appear. Great pains must
be taken with this second transplant

trenches four feet apart and place the
plants in the trench four feet from
each other. tamping the ground firmly
about the roots. Water should be used
In this transplanting, especially If the
soil is little dry. Most of the dirt
that was thrown out of the trench is
left lying to be turned In by the cul

A balanced growing ration which has

general belief among farmers that pro-

Corn contains 10 per cent protein, but

One Of, the greatest of the money

Use Pure Bred Sires.

The pure bred sire is the best means
of live stock improvement. Whether
good or bad. he is half the herd and
sometimes more. For this reason the
selection of the sire demands equally
as much attention as the entire group
of females, and it is far more impor-
tant to have a good sire, both in indi-
viduality and breeding, than to have
one or two good females. If sacrifices
must be made, let them occur in the Sc
lection of the females. Better still, let
every one be good one, both in breed
ing and individual excellence.-Kansas
