ially on light soils. We have generally been successful with it on 

 medium loams. Farmers in the vicinity of the sea coast state that 

 they have not succeeded in growing peas late in the season owing to 

 the dampness of the atmosphere due to the numerous fogs. Barley 

 may be grown by itself if it would thrive under such conditions. 

 Some farmers thus located have grown cabbage as alatefoddercrop. 

 It seems to the writer that the crop might prove expensive for this 

 purpose, owing especially to the labor involved in caring for it* 

 Cabbage is also a heavy feeder.
