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 "; "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.
