! Profit In Cabbage,
t Says Negro Farmer
i .
1 There are good profits in cabbage
' production, says Joseph Richardson,
Negro farmer of Essex, Warren Coun
ty.
; According to county Agent, C. S.
Wynn of the State College Extension
• Service, Richardson has 0.8 acre of
■ land set in cabbage this year. He
■ planted the crop around the first of
' December, using 1500 pounds of 3-10-6
fertilizer. Since he and his wife did
1 the 12 hours of work required in pre
' paring the land and planting the crop,
' there was no labor bill.
To date Richardson has sold 6,000
1 pounds of cabbage at three and one
half cents a pound, a total of $2lO.
His cabbage average about four or
five cents a head. Approximately
1 one-fourth of his crop is still on hand.
! In order to make the best use of
’ his land, Richardson has planted cot- '
ton between the cabbage rows. When
all of the cabbage crop has been har
vested, cotton will be growing in the 1
field.
