The chain letter fad has taken -sev-j
eral routes in the Brevard section j
during the past week, jumping from!
ten cents a try to fifty, one dollarl
and in a few reported cases, five'
dollars.
One enterprising young fellow

ship mules to Jerusalem, so don’t be
a jackass and ask for your nickel

Points On Growing
Late Cabbage
(By Julian Glazener, Co. Agt.)
Prepare the land early and keep
cultivating it to kill weeds, conserve
moisture and to make the soil better
prepared for the plants. The use of
good strong plants grown in beds is
a very important factor. Tests seem
to show that strong plants grown m
beds give better results than those
grown in the field.
Set plants 12 inches apart in 30
inch rows. The rows should be run
off and from 700 to 1000 pounds of
a 3-12-6 or a 3-8-6 fertilizer applied
in the row 10 days before setting the
plants.
On bottom land side dress cabbage
plants three to four weeks after
setting with 100 pounds, of nitrate of
soda per acre. On upland or heavier
type of soil or on land less supplied
with manure or humus, make a sec
ond application of soda, 100 pounds
to the acre a1 few weeks following the
first application or just before cab
bage beads begin to form.
Extension Horticulturist H. R
Niswonger has the following to say
concerning the control of cabbage
worms: “Spray to control worms.
Use 2 pounds of arsenate of lead to
60 gallons of water with 2 pounds
of soap adding soap last; or dust
with arsenate of lead or calcium
arsenate; 1 part to 4 parts of hydra
ted lime. Spray or dust when cab
bage butterflies are first seen in the
cabbage field. Repeat again as is
necessary. If worms are present
when cabbage begins to head use
rctenone dusts 2 per cent, at rate of
16 pounds per acre.”
There are 3evera7 commercial
preparations on the market contain
ing rotenone, derris and pyrethmm
which have given favorable results
in the control of the cabbage worms.
These are known as ' non-poisonous
insecticides. Red Arrow, Ever Green
and NonPo are some of the ones
most generally known In the county.
