From the March 6, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1944, 75 Years Ago.

"War Food Administration authorities have designated winter grown cabbage as a victory food  selection from February 24 through March 4 and urged the nation to increase consumption of  the popular leafy green vegetable throughout the ten-day period.

"With an indicated crop of 483,600 tons moving to market, 73 percent larger than last year, the director has called upon housewives, food merchants, restaurants, hotels, and institutions to join in the campaign to serve more cabbage during the period when the market is expected to be at its peak."
