EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



The carrots were also sown in rows 18 inches apart, with the Planet Junior seed 

 drill, and were cultivated by hand with the Planet Junior cultivator. The character 

 of the soil and its treatment was the same as that for mangels. The 3'ield per acre has 

 been calculated from three rows, each 66 feet long The first series of plots was 

 sown on the 8th May, the second on the 18th May, and all were pulled on the 30th 

 and 31st of October. These plots were less injured by cut-worms than any of the 

 other roots, hence the record'is more complete.
