EXPERIMENTS ON TURNIPS. 



309 



When lifted and weighed on 26th and 27th November they were 

 free from disease. The soil also seemed to be very uniform, and 

 nothing was observed to interfere with the effects of the 

 manures. A pit was formed on each plot of all the turnips that 

 grew upon it. The samples for analysis were selected from 

 these pits. They were then properly protected, and when 

 lifted in spring the percentage of sound bulbs in each plot can 

 be noted. 



The same difficulty was experienced in applying dung to No.
