IMAMU CMP ’■-V 1 '■,j ;/ * ■ ■-* Cabbage is one of the most universally cultivated of our garden plants. Although it is one of the coarser vegetables it finds a place in the home garden as well as in the market garden and truck farm, in some sections of the United States cabbage is extensively grown as a farm crop. According to the last census New York grew nip re than 25,000 acres of. cabbage; Pennsylvania, nearly 1 1,000; while Virginia grew about 10,000 acres. The three states mentioned outrank all others by at least 2,000 -acres.'' No adequate estimate can be placed on the value of this crop, as it fluctuates very decidedly, both in acreage and in price, from yeart© year. Early cabbage is practically all consumed as a green vegetable. The late crop, on the ether band, is handled as a fresh vegetable, asastcrage crop, and for the manufacture of sauerkraut. Cabbage is a'v, u\s in demand, and under present conditions it is always available, either as the product of a southern truck farm or a northern farm, garden, or storage house; , - - The group cr cultivated plants which has been derived from the wild cabbage presents a greater diversity of form than that derived from any other single ancestral type. Wild cabbage is a robust-growing broad-leaved plant enjoying the low, moist areas near the seacoast of southern Europe. The most closely allied form now in cultivation is the collard. The wide variation in the group is illustated by the diversity of form shows in collards. kale, tree cabbage, marrow kale," catiltflower, Brussels sprouts. It is almost beyond the bounds of reason to believe that all these forms have been derived from a common parentage, yet such is the fact . In no truck cr# does the character of the seed count for more than in cabbage. It is very essential that the crop come to marketable maturity early, that the beads be uniform in size and character and that they mature so that the whole crop can be harvested at two cuttings. The small saving made by the purchase of cheap pr Inferior seed is usually paid for a hundred times over In the lessened value of the crop. A grower can not tffofd to risk his crop for so small a saving. The best seed that can be

The Charleston Vsakefield Cabbage. obtained is none too good, and anything short of this is not good business. Without highly viable seed of a good strain, true to type, the best remits cannot be expected. Cabbage is a crop which is grown ky every market gardener located within wagon-hauling distance of an important center of consumption. The •tatistics of the distribution of the cultivation of the cabbage clearly inlicate the fact that this is one of the most important crops grown by market gardeners. The counties near each of the important centers of population of the United States are almost universally credited with a considerable acreage »f cabbage, thus showing that the garlenere ol these regions have given considerable attention to the production of this crop.

About Corn Saint Corn smut differs in life-habits from any of the other common smuts, and methods of treatment are therefore tiffefent. The covered smuts attack the grain-plants in the seedling stage, although the smut-masßeu do not appear until heading-out time. The loose smuts gain entrance to the kernel ol grain at flowering time, and remain inside the kernel until the next ipring, when the grain sprouts. The porn-smut, on the other band, may attack the-corn-plant at any time, provided there is young and growing tissue. I", is for this reason that it is difficult to combat.

Everyone is familiar with the large imut-masses occurring on practically any above-ground part of the corn- - plant. These smut-masses are made an of countless millions of very minute reproductive bodies known as spores, each one of which may infect another corn-plant. These spores may be blown about by„the wind, may fall on the ground, or remain- on the corn•talks which are used for fodder, thus getting into the manure-pile. The spores may germinate under favorable conditions; producing, by a process of budding, a great many other spores (sporidia). These sporidia may be produced in long chains; they are very light; and may b 4 blown long distances by the wind. If they happen to be blown to a corn-plant they may infect It, causing smut. The presence of development of these sporidia; therefore precautions should always be taken to prevent the smut from getting into the manure-pile, especially since it may live there for seven or eight years. It is clear, then, that seed treatment would be of slight If any value in attempting to prevent the appearance of corn-smut. Whenever possible, amot-balls should be destroyed as soon OB they appear. The smut-dust should never he allowed to get into the manure pile# either directly or by the ou of smutted com as fodder. Crop rotation, such as will remove danger of infection from spores on the previous year’s corn-land should be practioed. —E. -C. Stakman.

“Casey Jones.” The selecting of titles for plays is the most difficult part of the theatrical business. Many splendid plays have been- financially unsuccessful on account of having titles which did not appeal to the-public. Oliver Labadie let ‘‘Casey Jones” lay for two years after it was completed, before he hit upon the apt title which has been largely responsible for the success of the offering. The plot of ‘‘Casey Jones” would suggest the fallowing titles: “Is Marriage a Failure?’ “Winning a Husband,” “ A Bargain Husband,” The Boy From Harvard,” ‘Self Sacrifice,” “The Spinster and the Lawyer,” “Too Much Married,” and “In Love With His Wife.” These titles indicate the broad scope of the plot It is an up-to-date comedy drama in three acts and is considered somewhat “unusual,” combining heart interest with lots of clean fun and a plot which it is a joy to fathom until the last lines have been spoken. “Casey Jones,” with the original company, will be seen at the Ellis Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
