Recently the former conscientious

DISEASE OF CABBAGE.
Careful Seed Selection Has Produced q
Variety Resistant to Ysllows.

variety hesistdt " 's
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
fiji than soil sterilization and other al
rect control methods, growers say. IN
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. z
and 4 have proved most resistant
Within a year or two the experiment
station expects to distribute the SEED OF
these strains to growers.
