NORTH STATES
PLANT CABBAGE
Larger Vegetable Acreage
Predicted in Valley
This Season

Prospects for the l930-3l season
indicate a larger vegetable acreage
than last year. according 70
estimates OF Reed S. Lehman,
manager OF the Valley branch OF
the Stokes seed company.
Satisfactory prices Of last year
and the shortage of vegetables in
the north due to the drouth are
given as reasons for the increase.
Protection furnished by the tariff
against Mexican peppers Is ex-
pected to contribute toward nigh
prices in the fall. and Lehman
predicts a noticeable increase IN
both pepper and eggplant acreage.
Tomato acreage he expects TO be
about the same as last year.
Early cabbage paintings will
probably be less that those OF last
year, but main season paintings he
expects to surpasS the past season,
with all Indications that COMPETE
ton from northern crops will be
comparatively slight.
Lehman, who has Just returned
from an inspection tour OF the
company's crops in New York and
New Jersey. says that the cabbage
paintings in the north shows an
increase Of about 10 percent in
acreage. with a 20 percent decrease
in WELD due 10 drouth. Under
present conditions New York
authorities expect very little cab
bage to be placed in storage. with
