TALE OF THE TALL GROWTH OF CABBAGE IN GEORGIA demote Precincts Where Heads Are Reached With Ladders and Caterpillars Are Fought With Shot Guns. An ex-Georgian, living In this city, gives some Interesting Information re garding the slxe to which cabbages attain In certain aectlone of the Cracker State,” says The Richmond, Vs., News-Leader. It eo happens that every one of these communities Is at great distance from any railroad, postofflee or telephone station end so this botanical fact la not generally known. It seems that "way back up yander whar the Blue Ridge fraxxles out in Kennesaw mountain” the average height of cabbage stalks Is fifteen feet. The head spreads out huge, round and symmetrical like a three-hundred- year-old oak. The great slse of these vegetables has been brought about by careful se lection of the seed. These are taken only frqm the very largest planU. It Is' n well-known fact that seed taken from plants possessing some unusual quality tend to exaggerate that quality In the next set grown. Following this line of reasoning, the gentleman from Georgia thinks It is only a question of time when a cab- boge half as large, as the world can be grown. If they should be grown any larger than this there would not be enough soli to hold them. These cabbages are set out In orch ards. They overshadow the ground to such an extent that other vegeta bles cannot be grown around them, ex cept that sometimes the head le cut off and the stalk Is used for a bean pole. The use of the stalk In place of logs In mountain cabins Is considered shift less, for the stalks shrivel so much in a year or eo that great gaps are left In the walls. The leaves are used for tents, bath tubs and parachutes. They are not used much for making cigars, because a smoke made from these giants la so strong that only men with very tough systems can use them. The leaves are gathered thus: __ ladder Is placed against the stalk and the farmer ascends and saws them off one at a time. On one occasion a four-year-old child climbed one of these ladders and got up In the cab bage head. His toot slipped and he was drowned In live 1 feet of water caught In one of the leave*. One farmer had a laborer who waa always disappearing during working hours. One day while this man was oft duty terrific yells were heard com ing from the cabbage orchard. Sevoral men hurried In the direction of the trouble. They found the loafer up a big cabbage, waving off a six-foot cabbage bug, which was standing qn Its hind legs and pawing at the man with hideous green claws. One of the farmers ran to the house, got a shot gun and poured two barrels of buck shot Into the poisonous creature. With a shriek of agony h* curled up and died. The monster caterpillar was skinned, stuffed and le now said to ba In a museum In the mountains of Georgia. But as the museum Is forty miles from any railroad no one has yet gone there to get a'photograph of the monstrosity.
