.. Nitrogen For Cabbage
Be careful about sidedressing
cabbage with chemical nitrogen.
You may grow big cabbage, that
will give you a high yield per
acre, but the cabbage may be so
tender that they cannot be ship
ped. Produce dealers do not want
to buy cabbage that has been
sidedressed with chemical nitro
gen. Use the nitrogen on corn,
map bean*, or other . nitrogen
hungry crop, but do not endanger
the cabbage market by side
dressing with nitrate of soda,
ammonium nitrate or cal-nitro.

of faith in God and country,"
Mr. Brophy stated.

been a year of rededication for
millions of Americans to our
great heritage of freedom. This

of our free way of life, and the
duty of all Americans to protect
and strengthen our freedom
through conscientious observance
