rl '* 2 Agricultural ^ Dcpartmcn Growing Cabbage For Earl; Snpin or _ f 1 u?^ wvv i igu;io ail Time iifcm November t< MarchJt The Progressive Farmer. People generally are just b? ginning to realize that with little c$re they can raise cabbag with better success during th win'er and early spring tha when the weather is warm. Wit the exception of the cabbag louee the plant is not then sul jected to the insect pests an fungous diseases tha' make il culture so difficult in hot weatl er. For fall andjwiuter setting th seed should he sown in nnm either broadcasted or in dril not earlier than September th 20fch or later than the 15th c October. The seed bed should b well prepared and fertilized. 1 the seed are sown in open fui rows and 'he soil worked c drawn to the plants as they gro^ they will stand the severe win ter freezes without injury. SET PLANTS ALL WTNTBR. Most of the plants should b large enough to se' in the del by the last ot November. A the plants grow very slowly dui ing wiuter they may be set an lime in winter or early sprim I preler to set last ot Lovembe for two reasons : (1) The plan) mav get established before4 har freezing sets in, and (2) the lan is not so apt to be hard frozen c very wet as it is later. Almost any soil or localio will give good results, provide proper care is given t > fertilize lion and the setting of plants. ^ southern or a southeastern slop will give the earliest headed eal bage. A high location ih bette than a low one because it is drie and the temperature does nt fall so lo.v it does in the bo tonis. HAVE WKLL-t'REPAKKD SOILS. The soil should be deeply bro ken and well pulverized. If tli lay of the land /permits, let th ro\va(be run east and west Throv out deep furrows, about threi apart, and fill with manure Ridge or bed with two furrow with otii nor.-e plow. As soot tlie land is settled by a rain i is readv for the setting of plant* But do not eet while the land i too wet. If manure is used u guano should be applied unti March. There are two distinc methods ol setting pi <nt-. On is to se? them >n the sou'h sid of the b'd ; the oil r is to se them on the ?norlh side. Thos that practice the las' raeih "1 sa that ,the plant is safe on th north side because the direc ravs of the sun do not strik them woi! Irozen. It i^ no me ireeziu^ mac injures tin plant but the aUemate Iret-zin and thawing. HOW To SET TIIK PLANTS. I preler io set on I he >0111 side because I desire to get hear ed cabbico as early in the sprin as possible. I have never trie the other plan. 1 have set thei on the south, southeast and eai sides on the top ot a low bet and have left a stand in the lu rows where the seed were sowr with success in each case. The plant should be set ver deeply. All of the stalk < stem should be pressed into th soil and dirt packed closol around it. The hole in whic the plant is to be placed shoul point toward the center of th bed. The top of the plant shoul be a little above the middle c the bed. The distance betwee t / THE plants should be from 20 to 30 COM inches, according to variety, t The varieties that are the most i j .i . ...
