DIXIE WARNED TO
PLANT GREENS
FORTHIS WINTER

WASHINGTON, Oct. /. - Ger
tain sections of the South, especially
along the Atlantic coast, send large
quantities of cabbage, spinach, and
other cr9JS IF this character t. the
northern markets during the winter
and early spring months. At GER
tain seasons of the year these same
sections of the country receive
from the northern growers quantities
of cabbage. This year there is
prospect that the northern supply of
cabbage will be extremely short, and
United States Department of Agri-
culture specialists advise that the peo-
pie of the South plant plenty of
crops to provide them with a supply
of greens for winter use.
Turnips are the old standby, but
people get tired of eating turnip
greens continually and change is
desirable. Perhaps the best alter
nate crops is spinach. This requires
rich, deep, loamy, well-prepared
soil with plenty of fertilizer to in
sure a quick and tender growth. If
planted late in September or early
in October, the spinach will be ready
for cutting in November and early
December, If planted in late Oc-
tober, the spinach will be ready for
cutting in November and early De-
cember. If planted in late October
and November, it will go through the
winter and be ready for use early
in the springtime.
Spinach that is planted for fall
use should be given plenty of readily
available fertilizer so that it will
make rapid growth. Where it is to
be carried over winter in the ground,
very little fertilizer should be APP
piled in the fall, but a liberal top
dressing should be made about the
time that the spinach starts grow
ing in midwinter This may be sown
broadcast over the plants and work
ed in with hoe or some similar tool
The usual method of growing spin
ach is to plow the land in beds about
6 or z feet in width, then drill the
rows of spinach or inches apart
lengthwise of these beds. This ar
rangement provides drainage, the
burrows between the beds carrying off
