Be- cnuse of the fact that the eredit has been viven persistently elsewhere, the Caundian people are apt to forget that the inventor was a Canadian, an Otta- wai man, George Pringle Drummond.

There sre three main varieties, white, red and crinkly leaved or Savoy. The Savoy cabbage avhile the ‘hest of all in quality, give a relatively small yield and hence are less extensively grown. Most peapie of European origin have a predilection for cabbage. Walter H Pree, the celebrated United States ambassador to the Court of St. James during the World war, showed what he thought ahout it when he said there were only two kinds of vegetables andl they were both cabbage. Although we | Canadians value cabbage highly as.a have done. 'A French | “Ballant | niay call his lady Jove “ma petite chou” ‘and she will be flattered, but if a Canniian of Anglo-Saxon orlgin were to eal) his girl friend in English “my little cab- bage” the result would be melodrama. She would rather be called # rase -or aweeter still, “sugar.” The production of cabbages in the Dominion -is enormous. We use up about fifty million head in the year, over 40 million of which are grown at home and the balance imported from ithe United States and Bermuda, That makes about five cabbages per capita in the year.. Owing to the long dry spell, this was not a good year for the crop in Ontario and Quebec where the bulk is grown, and so we. had the un- unl experience of Nova Scotian cab- bage being shipped by the carloads to the Montreal and Toronto markets. There were half a dozen cars in Aug- ust alone. , HEDSON’S BAY MEN HERE For several days last week General Manager Chester, Chief Fur Buyer Parsons, hoth of Winnipeg, and Dist.
