The Rorists^ Review 



Dbcimbu 29, 1921 



largely to the illness of Judge Harris, 

 before whom the case was heard, deci- 

 sion was finally rendered Monday, De- 

 cember 19. The judge decided in favor 

 of McHutchison & Co. on all points and 

 dismissed the charge against the com- 

 pany. When the decision was handed 

 down the case was set for rehearing. 



The judge stated that he had care- 

 fully studied the law in the case and 

 could not see that the law had been 

 broken. The evidence submitted, he had 

 decided, proved that raffia was not a 

 combustible fiber when packed in bales. 

 The testimony showed that the law was 

 not intended to apply to commercial 

 fibers in solid bales, the only contrary 

 evidence coming from Inspector Briggs, 

 who admitted that he knew little about 

 raffia. 



The importance of the decision may 

 be better understood when it is stated 

 that McHutchison & Co. have at present 

 in stock, in storage or en route 2,500 

 bales of raffia. Of bamboo canes they 

 have 1,400 bales.

PUGET SOUND CABBAGE SEED. 



How It Is Grown. 



The status of the United States as a 

 seed-growing country was greatly 

 changed by the recent war. It gave 

 American seed growers their opportunity 

 and they made good. This is particularly 

 true in cabbage seed production in 

 general. In particular, Skagit county, 

 in the state of Washington, has ad- 

 vanced so rapidly that the locality has 

 earned for itself the title of "the cab- 

 bage country of America." Government 

 statistics show that eighty per cent of 

 the cabbage seed grown on the Ameri- 

 can continent is produced in Skagit 

 county and sold over two hemispheres 

 as Puget sound cabbage seed. 



Those seedsmen who are not familiar 

 with tlie methods of cabbage seed 

 culture practiced in the Puget sound 

 district will find interesting the brief 

 outline of how tliis crop is produced 

 there which the Charles H. Lilly Co., of 

 Seattle, h.'is recently prepared. 



The land is first selected with the ut- 

 most* care and only land that is adapted 

 is selected. The method of planting is 

 the result of many years' observation 

 and experience, which is essential in 

 growing a crop that hybridizes or pol- 

 lenizes as readily as cabbage. The 

 custom has always been followed of 

 isolating the fields, growing only one 

 variety on any certain farm, at* least 

 seventy rods from any other like crop. 

 With this method of planting and by 

 adiiering to the rule of never planting 

 two crops of cabbage in succession on 

 tlie same piece of land, a much truer and 

 more uniform typo can be maintained 

 and the constant change from one piece 

 of land to another has effectively pre- 

 vented the introduction of diseases. 



Cultivation of Land. 

 After the land has been selected, it is
