. Annual report of the Commissioner of Agriculture ... Agriculture -- New York (State). 420 Report of the Department of Entomology of the Truckers who do not care to cut their own disks may purchase them from Hirsch Brothers, Middle Village, L. I., New York, A. B. Cowles, 25 S. Water St., Rochester, N. Y., and Smith Brothers, Green Bay, Wisconsin. In large trucking sections there are doubt- less agencies who keep these protectors in stock. RECOMMENDATIONS. In the employment of tar pads as a means of protecting early cabbage, truckers should arrange to transplant seedlings of good size with rather long Disks cannot be satisfac- torily adjusted about small plants, for in setting such seedlings it is necessary to place them low in the soil so that only the leaves protrude. Moreover, while transplanting it is well to avoid placing the seedling in a depression. This fre- quently occurs when the work of setting is done by hand, for in making a hole for the roots more earth is removed than is necessary, so that after the operation is com- pleted the plant occupies the center of a shallow basin. Tar pads placed about cab- bages that have been set in such situations are liable to become covered with soil during the first shower, which reduces their efficiency. Some growers set their cabbage plants on a slight ridge. This practice is an advantage where tar pads are used, as the protectors are not liable to become covered with soil. »*. :• ..w.».e Fig. 23.— Tar Pads Properly Adjusted About Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York (State).
