Phone 115 : A - 1 1 ,4 and Wilbur Streets : THE GROWING AIVD MABKETING OF LATB ErASGIH Yields of 20 to 25 Tons an : Money Could Be Made BABBAG Cabbage Land in the Salem J)istrictL If They Could Be Sure of a Good Factory (Money couid be made by the farmers of the Salem district with the right kind of land, and espec ially with the use of Irrigation, in the growing of cabbage, if they could be assured of a market de mand. This could be, "and ought to be assured by the organization of kraut factories here. ..Follow? ing is Circular 86 of the Oregon Agiicultural college, department of vegetable gardening, on "The Grcwing and Marketing of Late Cabbage," the autho being P. V, Mari4 director:) I r Soils: This crop is not adapted to a soil which does not : hold moisture well during" the "summer and fall months, unless there be a possibility of Irrigation. Mois-r ture holding capacity, therefore,' is an important essential. ; Well drained soils will produce a crop that can be marketed longer in the fall and winter than where the crop is grown on lower loca tions. Much of the bestte cab bage grown In this state is pro- duced on well fertilized upland soil, having a capacity of holding moisture in the summer. ' Large yields are obtained from"- many different kinds of bottom 1 . soils and swales, that are well drained. There is also a large acreage of dyke lands which are capable of producing large quantities of cab bage! in profitable yields. Soils which are high in organic matter will usually produce large cab bage which gives' a heavy ton nage. . Cabbage lands should pre ferably be free from acidity ap plications, of lime correcting this condition in the soil, it Is not wise to plant' cabbage on land which, has a steep slope -or "which has been farmed for a long time to various kinds of field crops, the fertility of which land, there- lore, Is somewhat run down. The success in growing the" crop is largely dependent upon the amount.' ot available moisture in the soil, and hence where there is no possibility of Irrigation es pecial care must be - exercised ii selecting lands for this crop. f " V&rieties and Plant 0 Growingt For the main fall and winter crop Danish Ball Head is best. "Ore gon grown strains of this variety sesm to give superior results as compared lwth those from import ed seeds. Danish Round Head is an early strain of Danish' "Ball Head. ; One of the best varieties for home use for, winter is the Giant Green Savoy, which is an especially : excellent cabbage Xor cold , slaw and for cooking. ' Methods of plant growing, vary considerably ' with ,r individual growers.! In order that the plants! may be cultivated and kepi clean when in the seed bed. "the : seed should . be sown about May 1 in well prepared 'out door 'beds. . In some localities the seed is sown broadcast which is more difficult to do properly than sowing the seed in straight rows. Seed which is sown broadcast should be on as clean ground as possible, other wise the plants cannot be cuUM vaded or weeded out. The soil in either : case should be wdrked down ' tine and smooth 'following which the seed can be 'drilled in thinly o that the plants will af terwards stand about an . inch apart, in, the row, and the rows from! -eight 'to ten Inches apart. Crowding, of the plants ' In the rows causes, a restricted growth of the roots and there will , be a less stocky top. : , It Is usually ad visable to make at least two sow - Ings of seed, the one abort May 1 by. 111 COLLEGE BULLETIN Acre Sometimes Reported By the Farmers! With Good Demand and another one about ten daya4 or. two weeks later in order that there may be plenty of plants for use in an emergency. The seed should be covered only, lightly, not more than one-half an inch. It is best to sow cabbage seed after 4 rain .rather than before a heavy rata because of the possibility of Jhe land being packed together If the rain follows the seeding. It is best to sow -about twice the amount of seed as will ordinarily be required so that: about one half of a pound of seed should be sown for very acre of cabbage which is expected to be set. If there is a surplus of plants these can usually be sold end there is a much better chance of making a good selection of good nealthy stocky plants it thro are a large number of plants from which to choose.1 1 ""' . .. . I Soil Preparation and Fertiliza tion: Cabbage land should be fall plowed if possible and allowed to lie jin a rough state during the winter! In this way more' mois ture will be held by the soil than otherwise, y In the spring at the fij-si opportunity the land should be worked down and manure at the rate of ten tons per j acre should be evenly j scattered - ! over the soil and lightly, plowed or else thoroughly disked in: Many grow ers make a practice of vsing some commercial fertilizer as well as the manure. Inasmuch as the crop is a very heavy user of potash as well as nitrogen and phosphoric acid. The solidity of the heads, is very - largely "dependent upon the amount of mineral element In the soil. Most Oregon soils,, however. are well supplied with this phos phoric &cid and potash. 1 1n a good many case3, cabbage yields may be increased by the application of lime, not less' than i one- ton : per acre being applied. It is very im portant that the soil be worked down in as fine condition as pos sible in the spring in order that as muchimoisture as possible may be retained for the crop during the summer. , The cost of prepara tion is not excessive ana lr more time were put On this phase, of the work better results would be ob tained. - ' j ; - . After the time of transplanting in the latter part of June, the soil should be constantly stirred :to keep a light mulch on the surface or stirred as soon as the, ground is in working condition : after a -rain. - : . :: j f Transplanting from the seedbled to the field: This Work should be done preferably in cool weather. The plants are" best when about six Inches high, although it Is bet ter to observe good weather con ditlons rather than the size of the plants as to a definite height. The season of the year at which the cabbage plants are! set In the field is usually about the 20th to the 25th of June, up' to the first of July depending. upon the "weather conditions and the moisture in the soil. If the weather is dry and settled It would bf best to set the plants in the afternoon beginning after; three o'clock. The plants should be protected from the. hot sun. ana Derore oemg in tea . irora the seed bed should ' be thorough ly wetted down In order that some soli may adhere to the roots. As far as to the distance apart to set plants is concerned It is custo mary, to have the rows about three! feet apart and the cabbage plants about 30 to 36 inches apart j in the rows. For small to medium heads the rows may be three feet I Anart and th nlantn net -from 20 r -- w T - to 24 inches apart in -the rows. The distance apart the plants will be set will depend very largely up on the fertility of the ground and ihe ability tohold moisture dur- ... .. . . ing tae summer time. Cultiv a 1 1 on: Cabbage land should have a light mulch during the summer which is kept up by cultivation every twelve or four teen days or more often if there be .summer showers. There will be very little hand work necessary in hoeing. - ' Harvesting and marketing: In rarketing the cabbage crop it is good thing to divide up the land so that, a wagon: road may be laid put in order that the cabbage may be quickly loaded from the field into the wagon. The demand on the market is usually for four to five pound cabbage. Solidity of heads is also an important factor in the question of marketing. If the cabbage Is going tq be sold to a'' contractor it may stand in : the field longer than if it is going, to be sold on the open market.' Also there is very little necessity for grading if the cabbage is to be sold to the factory but where the cabbage' is to be sold In the fresh state on the "market it is neces sary to have the heads graded for size. Canneries and kraut factor ies usually will contract on an ave rage price of from $12 to $15 per ton. Yield of ctbbageijer acre: This factor will depend very largely on thef soil1 conditions, and the care that has been 'given to the rop. It is aecessarr that cabbaeet land yield 'from six to seven tons be fore expenses for growing are paid. T Average returns are, nsualf ly from 10 to 18 tons per acre. Some, yields from- 20 to 25 tons per acre . are sometimes reported but these are obtained only under unusual conditions. Cost of production: The various Items ! in producing cabbage will total from $75 to $90 per acre. Some of the least expensive items are the most important, such as seed, preparation of ' ground and the : growing and setting: of the plants. Especially important is the question of the Strain' of seed that one obtains In growing the crop. The price for sutficient seed for an acre Is nothing .com pared with the results that are ob tained where one uses a high yielding strain. Insects affecting cabbage and control of same: There are quite a number of Important insects that feed on the cabbage and in most-cases these can be success fully controlled. The insects of greatest importance are the green cabbage worm, the cabbage mag got,1 the flea beetle, the! cut worm, grass hopper, cabbage: aph is, and slugs and snails. The de partment of entomology ot the Oregon Agricultural college has a complete list, of sprays and dusts that can be used for successfully combatting the - various sucking and chewing insects. This may be obtained from the College Ex change. It is ordinarally impos sible1 to successfully grow a crop of cabbage unless one fights these pests or In some cases the soil con ditions may be of such a character as to produce a very rapid growth in which case the growth of the plant may be so rapid as to offset the work of the insects. Bulletins available on other vegetable crops: Besides these notes on the - cultivation ot late cabbage, gardeners may . obtain notes on other important 'vege tables, as asparagus, tomatoes. rhubarb, cauliflower, broccoli, etc, These pamphlets may be obtained by writing to the College Ex change.

'. - Oregon produced about 55,000 bales of hops last year, ; Some , Tines have . since been plowed up. and Some yards- are being- heglected. . But,; owing to the excellent crop outlook In the yards that are" being . well taken care of, the number of bales -produced this year will . likely be about the same as was put up ready for market last year. There are. probably 11,500 cres in hops now, In Oregon, which v means . in the Salem dis trict. , ! Perhaps as much as two-thirds of the crop is contracted for the English market; mostly .on long time contracts. ' What Might Happen ' , The outlook for the unsold part of the coming crop is not good. It, is a gamble. If the English crop should be very. . short, the prices for the surplus 1 hops here might Te remunerative. .But there are 7000 to 8000 bales .held over from; last ' year and the year .be-. fore; mostly . from . last year's crop. . . . . . " Then the hop board ot control in England will not allow." any hops to be Imported till the Eng lish crop- is all sold.' They main tain what amounts to an embargo Oregon growers are offered now only' 12 cents a pound on contract. It .costs 14 cents to put them Into bales. ' Labor is Jbigher than if! used to be, and so are all mater- tasand other expenses. . Growers could formerly get by on T to 10 cents a pound for the cost of pro duction- .-!;!. .!!!. While this is good growing weather- for the hops, the -damp ness j is also favorable to- the hop lice, and some of these pests have already appeared; and forehanded growers are already spraying. ; Oregon Still Ahead : The California crop last year was about 85,000 bales. It will not be Over 40.000 to 45,000 bales this year. 'About, half the acreage in that state has been plowed up. Washington had 22,000 ' bales last year. . That state will produce only about 15,000 bales this year. New York formerly produced a large hop crop., That state Is now practically out of it;, will have only a few bales this year.. A. Good Deal ot Money ( The 55,000 bales in Oregon this year will mean 10,000,000 pounds of hops. At the bare cost, this means $1,400,000 in cash to come here.

The Vioax TUFTED PANS1ES While giant flowered pans5es are Wonderful, they do not com pare Ip. freedom of bloom with the violas or tufted pansies, which have; much smaller flowers but more of them. Sow seed of the -violas now, and they will be blossoming by fall, and then with a good mulch for protection they will last through the winter. Not only this, but the plants you have may be multiplied either in the fall or spring, by tak ing them apart and setting out each little toft to make a plant by itself. It -will root readily, and your stock -will be multiplied. A bed of these pansies in rich soil will be completely, covered with flowers the following spring. r It 'is an; open secret, adds the Wichita Eagle, that the finest cor sage procurable is-to be sent to the, young lady with compliments of the Yichita merchant.
