AVOID D0DDER lNFESTATlON
Farmer Should Use Plants Known &c
Be Immune to Attacks Of
P~estiferous Weed,

The necessity of selecting plants
immune to dOdder infestation whe
%cuitivating newly cleared land was
emphasized by a report which recently
reached the United States Department
of Agriculture concerning the destruc-
ton of an entire field OF eggplant on a
newly cleared field in Pennsylvania.
SO bad was the infeStatiOn that not a
single fruit was formed on the para
sitized plants and the entire field was
destroyed. The dodder was determined
as hazel dOdder. a species not I'M
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefoil and other
wild herbs. but never previously re
ported on cultivated plants. The de
partfnent recommends that on land
known to contain the seeds Of dodder.
farmers should use plants which are
immune to attacks OF the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
to injury by dodder: corn, soy beans,
velvet beans, cowpeas, and small
grains such as oats. wheat, and rye.
Potatoes and buckwheat, crops
commonly used on newly cleared land.
are not very likely to be injured by
dodder. but truck crops should not
be planted on land known to contain
d0dder seeds.

Darly cabbage is especially desirable.
~ 1t furnishes green food at q time
when it is needed.
In giving suggestions on growing
cabbage. garden specialists Of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
say the proper variety must be plant
ed. Some kinds require a longer pc
Rod for their growth than others. Jer
sey Wakefield and Charleston Wake
held are most universally planted for
the early crop. Jersey Wakefield he
ing considered earliest of all. The va
rtety known as All Seasons has il
round, flattened head and is a good
intermediate sort. Copenhagen Mar
ket is q large, round-headed early
cabbage that Is very much in favor
among market gardeners. Late Flat
Dutch and Danish Rallhead are con
siAefed the leading late varieties.
Start Plants Indoors.
Plants must be started indoors, In

point farther South where the season

to be grown. One Or two cigar bOxe,
Allied with fine soil and placed in /;

for starting 100 to 200 cabbage plants
The little seedlings must be trans
planted to larger boxes or to a cold
flame when they begin to crowd each
other in the seed boxes. Cabbage
plants are quite hardy, and along the
South Atlantic coast are grown in the
open by the acre.
Plant early cabbage in the richest
part of the garden, having previously
worked into the soil all the rotted ma
nure that can be spared and then add

feet of row. The fertilizer should be
well mixed with the top 4 inches Of
soil over q space the full width Of the
row, which is generally 3 feet.
Do not plant cabbage OF land where

any of the heads were diseased or

in the small home garden. Cabbage
is subject to several diseases, but for
tunately these do not do much harm
in small gardens. Insects, however,
play havoc with the crop from the
time 1t Is planted. Cutw0rms are gen.
orally waiting in the soil during early
spring to cut off the stems Of the cab
bage plants JUST at the surface of the
ground.
Protect Plants From cutworms.
The best remedy, or rather proven
tive, is to place bands or tubes of stir
paper around the stems of the plants
as they are being set in the garden.
Thin cardboard makes ideal plant pro-
tectOrs. BY cutting the cardboard in
to strips about 3 inches wide, sections
can be cut off and rolled around a
lead pencil to form a tube. The pro-
tectOrs should extend an inch below
the surface and at least ? inches
above. After the stems OF the cab
bage plants have become tOughened
and begin to grow rapidly the pro-
tectOrs can be taken off.
Cabbage worms, the eggs for which
are laid by the light-yellOw butterflies
that are often seen flying about the
cabbage plants, do a great amount Of
damage. busting the foliage and the
heads with air-slaked lime, to which
q little paris green has been added.
or spraying them with a~rsenate Of
lead, one ounce to a gallon of water,
are both effective. There Is no danger
rs the heads grow from the inside and
the outer leaves, to which the poison
is applied, are all removed.
