Cabbage Scars
to $4,000 a Ton

Farmers of Racine and Kenosha
counties who devoted acreage to the
raising of cabbage, this year, are find
ing it more profitable than known in
several years past, prices now rang
ing from $40 per ton for the Domestic
type to $50 per ton for the so-called
Danish and Holland types.
While large amounts of cabbage are
being loaded at points throughout the
two counties, large number of grow
ers are filing their storages with the
best quality stock as strong markets
during the winter and spring months,
are being predicted, and cabbage
prices are expected to reach the high
est price in years.
The season is proving profitable to
the cabbage growers because the
years estimated production of $1,000
tons, is only about 40 per cent of last
years production, and the average
yield per acre is estimated at 81 tons
compared to 1913 tons in 1920 In the
United States the yield averages IA
tons per acre for this season and SO
tons in 1920.
Wisconsin grown cabbage, particu-
larly the product of Racine and Keno
sha counties has always been in great
er demand than the product of any
other state and agents, for commission
houses are endeavoring to place or
ders for the entire crop of these two
counties, and for immediate shipment.

ONE CENT FARE
TO KANSAS CITY
Howard Smith Announces
Railroads Have Granted
Special Rates.
MANY MEN TO GO
KenOsha Legionnaires Will
Take Trip to National
Convention.

Howard Smith, local American Lee
gion man announced this morning that
special arrangements have been made
with the railroads of the United States
whereby American Legion men can go
to the National convention for one
cent mile. The only thing that the
railroad requires is that round trip
ticket be purchased.
Costs Very Little
The local post has decided to send
several delegates to the convention,
of which Smith will be the leading
member. He has gone to some length
in securing the latest dope and has
secured the information that the tick
ct will be good on any railroad run
ming out of Chicago to Kansas City.
The round fare price from Kenosha
to Kansas City will be eleven dollars
and eighty cents. The expense to a
legion man after he has gotten into
Kansas City will be negligible as the
Legion there has provided sleeping
quarters for the men and women.
Many Legion Men Going
Any Kenosha Legion man with his
wife or mother is invited to Kansas
City and it is hoped that many of the
Kenoshans will avail themselves of
the reduced fare and take in the con-
vention. Remember that the fare is
one cent mile and only costs $11 80
for round trip ticket. The ticket
will be good on the return until the
31st of November. Take your wife
or mother-that's the slogan of the
Kenosha Post. A special train will
leave Chicago with Wisconsin men and
anyone wishing to be on board this
train can make arrangements by see
ing Howard Smith.
