tiring efforts of research workers at the 

 Wisconsin College of Agriculture, work- 

 ing under tlie guidance of Dr. L. R. 

 Jones, a strain of cabbage has been 

 developed which yields well on "sick" 

 soil. This strain was named the Wis- 

 consin Hollander, a good cabbage for 

 winter storage. 



But the kraut packers and commer- 

 cial growers wanted an earlier maturing 

 cabbage and one adapted to growing 

 conditions in other states. So the Bad- 

 ger investigators renewed their search. 

 The result was that two new strains 

 were put in the "resistant" class. These 

 varieties were named Wisconsin Glory 

 and Wisconsin All Heads. 



Tests conducted on "sick" soil in 

 Eacinc county this past year show these 

 new resistant strains to be true to their 

 breeding, according to R. E. Vaughan 

 of the plant i)athology department, who 

 has made several inspection trips to tht> 

 trial fields this season. Good crops were 

 Harvested from the rows planted to the 

 new strains. In neighboring rows the 

 old varieties have been almost com- 

 pletely killed off by a severe attack of 

 the "yellows." 



"The ])ast season of extremely hot 

 weather has been the worst ever experi- 

 enced with cabbage yellows," says Mr. 

 V'aughan, "and consequently has been a 

 most excellent time to give th<> new 

 strains a thorough test. The results 

 have been extremely gratifying."
