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

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

Leading in Quantity 'to Be Produced This Year,; and in
, Quality of the Hops Grown But the Outlook for th:
Hop Industry in This Country Is Hot Bright, Owing to
Uncertain Markets ' '
The following is the result of
an interview of a leading hop
grower! and -dealer, of the Salem
district yesterday, by the Slogan
editor: .. . . '. -
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 sum will likely

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
