; POULTRY CABBAGE 
4 3 Tons in a Space 40x60 Feet 
J Poultry Cabbage is a wonderful green feed for poultry and has been known to 
‘yield 3 tons in a space 40x60 feet. One-half pound of seed will grow enough 
greens to feed about 1,000 hens for 4 months; 3 pounds to an acre for 6,000 hens 
for 4 months. In the Northern States the seed can be sown any time from early 
spring until the middle of July. In some parts of the South the seed may be sown 
throughout the entire year, or from July to September for main crop. Sow in 
_ rows 24 inches apart, allowing about 2 inches between the seed. Commence feeding 
when plants are about 4 inches high, pulling out and feeding alternate plants. 
Continue thinning until plants are about one foot apart. These should make heads 
of 5 to 7 pounds in 60 days and may be fed immediately or allowed to stay in 
ground until cold weather. These heads may be fed whole as they are very tender 
and 100 per cent edible. Chopping is not required even for. young chickens. 
Poultry Cabbage will not discolor the yolks of eggs when fed to laying hens. Pkt.;
