Cultivation Of Fall Cabbage
II. G. b., Henderson, N. c.,
writes: What. kind of cabbage
seed is best to sow for a fall
crop? When should the SEED be
sown and the plants set out?
What kind of fertilizer to use?
How can I keep the green cab
bage worms and bugs off Of
them?
It takes cabbage from eight to
ture properly. Good varieties to SOW
for fall crop are Succession, Drum
head and Flat Dutch. The seed may
be planted any time between June
and September, depending on eli
matte and soil conditions. In this
best not to set cabbage out before
the 18th of August to the 18th of
September. At higher elevations
and farther north earlier paintings
might be made. Further south later
paintings should be made. 1t will
take the plants about 80 days from
transplant into the field. 1t is best
to set the plants out when of med
ium size. They should be watered
frequently if the weather is dry,
and shaded until they establish
1t is best to plant cabbage in 2;5
be left about feet apart in the
drill. 1t will take about an ounce
One-fourth pound ought to provide
enough plants for an acre of land.
A good fertilizer is desirable I'M
der cabbage. We suggest that you
use a formula containing to 8 per
cent phosphoric acid, per cent nj
trogen and to 4 per cent potash;
This recommendation applies to red
lands. AS the lands become sander
or lighter in character increase the
phosphoric acid to as high as 10
per cent, the nitrogen to per cent
and the potash to 5 per cent. A
minimum of 500 pounds Of this ma
terial should be used per acre. One
thousand pounds would not be too
much to- use. The fertilizer should
be put under the drill row and well
mixed with the soil. Do not let it
come in contact with the roots Of
the plants. The balance of the fer
tilizer should be applied down the
middles of the drill rows after the
cabbage has made good start.
Cabbage worms may be destroyed
by spraying with arsenate of lead or
Paris green. Use the poison as soon
as the worms appear. 1t is rather
difficult to make the poison adhere
to the leaves of the cabbage plants,
so it is recommended that a resin
wash be mixed with the arsenate of
lead spray. The resin wash is made
as follows: pounds resin, L pound
crystallized sal-soda. 2 quarts water.
Boil down until a clear brown solu-
tion is obtained. Use one-sixth of
pint to SO gallons Of spray material.
The last application of arsenate Of
lead should be made to cabbage five
weeks before they are to be used
for food.
