BIG FIELD OF CABBAGES.
Joseph zarotny Has $4,000 Head
Growing

GlOWlllS.
The unusual sight of field contain
ing $4,000 cabbage plants nearing ma
turlty is attracting considerable atten-
ton at Joseph Zarotny's farm, former
II the Davis place, on the Mortified
road
The field comprises five acres with
5000 plants to the acre. and is the
largest single crop of cabbages ever
grown in this town. Mr.. Zarotny is a
successful tobacco and vegetable grow
er and always makes a speciality of cab
bages, but never before this year on
such an extensive scale.
Considering the low cost of produc-
ton and the slight risk of failure this
crop Is more profitable than tobacco. This
year he used manure for fertilizer and
set out the plants with his tobacco set
ting machine. The piece has been eul-
tivated but once and all the work,
with the exception of the men required
to feed the plants into the setter, has
been done with horses.
Last year Mr.. Zarotnv lost many
heads that burst open because of too
large growth, but this year by planting
three weeks later he thinks that he
/ has avoided similar loss. He expects
TO sell this year 5 crop at a higher
price than that of last year, which was
five cents head, the same cabbage
selling i'll the winter as high as one
! dollar each for the largest and best
4 heads. which shows that the farmer 's
lproft was exceedingly small compared
with that of the middleman.

Harvesting Tobacco Crop.

Most of the farmers have been har-
ycsting tfsir tobacco this week and
are getting this valuable crop into the
sheds in very good condition. Some
have already sold the crop for "a cents
n pound, but others are holding out for
a much higher price, which they believe
they will get later. Only 30 acres of
tobacco were raised in Hinsdale this
year, whereas a few wears ago the acre
age was from 100 to l25. This large de-
crease is due partly to the poor yields
of the past few years, the greatly In
creased cost of fertilizers and to the
scarcity of labor.

CHRISTMAS IN TRENCHES

Do you want every American sol

county men, who have answered the
call to the colors, to find on Christ
mas morning package in his stock
ing from Santa Claus? BY Christmas
the United States will have large
number of men in France, and 600.-
600 in the cantonments at home, be-
sides the thousands in our regular
army posts and in our navy. Every
one will be eager to help in giving
them Christmas cheer. They will
be absent from their firesides. Per-
haps some of them will be lonely. 1t
is the one day of all the year when
mankind wants to be at home with
loved ones.
