SATURDAY January 8, 1881. Cabbage Growing Hi rances, THE BUTTERFLY AND OTHER PEOTS. Editor Star:—Now that the business of grow- ing strawberries for 2% cents to 3 cents per quart ‘during the height of the season” and cabbages at from 2 cents to3 cents per head during the most plentiful part of the season— business that should be done “by the smal!,” if done at all, for the greater the business the eater the ruin—has been stopped by provi- lenual limitation. I would be glad to enlist the attention—for a time—of the cabbage growers in their oron interest. To the cabbage grower there are three very serious drawbacks that are almost ever to a greater or leas insurmountable. When- ever he overcomes any or all of these, in whole or in part, It 1s trom the aid he receives to the exceptional character of the season, thouzh sometimes it may be attributed to local causes, transient in themselves, The first drawback 1s the little black flea which most always or nearly everywhere Tenders the growin, lants an impossibility. And then, when the plants are set out they will, despite Une efforts and appilcations of the grower yelerally destroy enurely the plants. ‘This applies more particularly to early caobage here, aid many growers hereabouts a0 loager attempt to grow early cabbage because of the destructiveness of insects. ‘the second drawback ts the hot dry weather usual at the plant setttug season. Tals 13 also avery perplexing, discouraging fact, and this is the fact et the time for the setting for the late crop. The plants die. The third 1s, or has been, the cabbage butter- fly. For the past season there have been 1a Jocalities two other insecis that have done very Serious damege to the cabbage. Some seed+men in their cataloges last spring touching cabbage cultivation, say that it ts no’ necessary (0 borrow any trouble concerning the cabbage butterfly, for It is fast disappear- ing from the action of parasites which feed on the chrysalides. Prof. Comstock once told me that from a large number of the buttertly chrysalides which he collected for the study o1 the butterfly but a very small per cent of them unfolded; that the very-great portion of them wele eaten by the parasites. These parasites do not make the diminution of the buttertites perceptible in the region round about here. The damage to the cabbage crop last fall was quite as great as it ever has been from the same source, J have been observing rather closely this cab- bage damaging insect for over three years. From memoranda I find that in 1879 the butter- files appeared and flourished in great numbers from very early in April until abaut the end of the month. The Ist of May there were none to be seen, but they did not seem to have left any progeny, to damage noticeably the early cab- ge. July Sth I saw one butterfly, July 12th two, and by August 5th they were to be seen frequently, and by the 17th of same month were about in great abundance, and continued 80 until the freeze in the first three or four days of November, when they apparently all disap- peared. For three or four days, during some mild weather, about the middle of the month, an occasional one was seep. That fall the grester part of the cabbage was rendered by their progeny, the green slugs or worms, almos: wortbiess, In 1ss¢ I saw the first, butterfly on the 224 of March, and by the tat of April they had become aburdant and flourished greatly through the menth, but did not entirely disappear until about the middle of May, remaining later than in 1879, but, as heretofore, did but very litue damage to early cabbage. The 1ith of May all appeared to be gone. The 31st of same month I saw four, the Vanguard of the second appear- ance, but no more until the ith of June, then Ubree; from that date until the first week in August, there were a few occasionally seen. Through the rest of the month they were penta reaching the greatest abundance a ttle past the middle of September. Some heavy frosts on the nights of the first two or three days ot November seemed to have fintshed them up. On a lovely p. m.. the 10th of Novem- ber, however, I saw one flitting about, the last one of the season left flourishing ‘alone. I have thus shown for two sezsons the mes of heir coming and disappearance. As every Observing crower has seen, tnefe are two crops of them, so to speak, each season. On what the progeny of the first product in season are hatc! and fed, I know not. I know that 1t is on the cabbage only to a very limited extent. ‘The progeny of the second 1s on the cabbage, and for that reason 1s so destructive to the cab- bage. ‘The early crop of cabbage ts cut off by the cabbage fiea only, and I know of no sub- Stance that will destroy this creature. The late crop of cabbage, and the pracipal one, ts de- Stroyed by the buttertly progeny, and this can be prevented, I know. I contrived a net to catch the butterflies, thus: I made a hoop about two feet across of No.9 annealed wire, bending off three or four inehes of the wire at each end of the formed wire, and had welded forashank. Cut six or seven feet of a small staddle for a handle, bored a hole in the end and drove jn the sha: ade & net of mosquito bar (it would have been better of some strouger open texture) adout three feet long and attach to the hoop, and the instrument to catch but- tertiles was ready, A boy from seven to ten years of age can attend to a cabbage field suc- cessfully; If an active one, he can take the but terfites “on the fly,” but with greater cercatnty. when the insects are sitting on the plants. 1 have caught as many as sixty Duttorilies in about as many minutes, in a patch of about seven hundred plants, aud made the creatures yather scarce. The nét should be thrown over ibe thsect and brought quickly to the grouad, and the insect pinched in the folds of the net before lifting it. If every rower would put a boy into his fields to inake thorough work among the but, terfites at. their spring appearance there would be but little work to be done during tue late cabbage season. I am quite sure that with a universal effort among the growers the butter- files can be so nearly destroyed that the cuoege le the to the cabbage crop will be inconsiderable first years the attempt is made. My experience in that direction the past season assures me of this. When I have urged this matter upon the growers occasionally, they invariably have re- piled the expense would be too great. They can afford the expense of manuring, preparing the ground, peyie oo orne. and res Hamas the plants, Ulling them, and have the abor alt lost in the injury done to the cabbage by the green worms, the butterfly progeny—put they cannot afford the expense of a smart boy at from $5 to $8 per month, for a month or two, to destroy the buttellies a8 fast as they appear in the cabbage fields and save the cro; tisa very foolish eine to plant cabbage to feed these worms. It would be wiser, and cost less, to Stop growing cabbage. Tne butterflies can be destroyed at a comparatively small expense, and marketabie cabbage grown, if the growers only wisely resolve to do it. ‘The question Is, will they do this advantageous, wise thing? The fall frosts soon destroy the butterflies, but the green worms will survive freezes that stiffen and serlously damage the cabbage leaves. OTHER CABBAGE DESTROYERS. ‘The season last past has inflicted on the cab- bage growers two more degtructives of the cab- bage. One year ago the season just past I saw occasionally a caterpillar looking worm of the size in diameter of No, 12 wire, perhaps, and about three quarters of an tach long, and orn- amented with a yellow stripe on either side, on the cabbage plants, but I did not take particu- lar notice of its operations This last sea3on they were so plentiful as to do material dam- age to cabbage. If they continue to increase, they will soon rival, I think, the green worm. I carried some of these caterpillars to the Agri- cultural department to ascertain name, etc., and I was promised an examination of them. But another cabbage destructive appeared In ‘some localities or fields the past season. I re seen none of them myself, but have heard much about them. They are described as a short. thick ee with a terrapin back. They gather 1n considerable numbers on the plants which wilts and dies. It seems quite probable that nenceforth cab- bage growers will have three destructives to counteract. If so, Freer ads is to be more dificult and discouraging tnan ever be- fore. For the extermination of the last two comers, the manner and the means remain to be discovered. GRANGER, Falls Church, Va. MARYLAND LAND SALES. e farm of the late George H.

WASHINGTON SHOULD BE MADR THE MOST RRAUTI- FUL CITY CPON THE AMBRICAN CONTINENT. Mr. Redfield, the Washington correspondent of the Cinctonat! Commerciai, has been inter. viewing Congressman Henry S. Neal, of Ohio, ‘upon national affairs, and also upon the affairs Of the District of Columbia, to which Mr. Neal, who ts a prominent member of the House Dts- trict committee, has given much thoughtful consideration. The following, from the inter- View, will be read with interest : DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. “You are on the District of Columbia com- mittee, I believe. What of the mode of govern. ment provided for the District 2” : ~ Well, 1 8 an incongruous mode most surely. A violation of democratic ideas. An excres cence and a reproach upon republican tnstttu Uons. Why, think of it. Here are nearly two hundred thousand people, combining, probably, more intelligence than the same number of peo- ple in any other city of the country, who have absolutely nothing to say about their own ma- nicipal affairs; and the strange thing about tt is, the more intelligent property-holders do not wantto have. They ayo to have men from the whole country, who can know but little of ‘thelr real wants, make them laws, provide their cficlals, levy and collect their taxes, than do It themselves, “1 have inquired of them why this ts, and they state they ane afraid of the result if given self-government.

But here Mr. Randall Dlundered as usual. Most of us had had no experience, and therefore had everything to learn. Our early Orgapization, in the spring of 1s79, was much to our advantage, and has enabied us to act with much more intelligence than If we had only been appointed at the commence. ment of the regular session. One difficulty we labored under was that none of the old citizens ever gave us any disinterested advice.
