A difference will be observed in yield in favour of early wowing. Purple Top 

 varieties were the finest in shape, quality, evenness on ground, weight, and were the 

 easiest to pull. The weight per acre of turnips, mangels, carrots and beets is com- 

 puted from weighing three drills, 66 feet each, of each sort.

Mangels. — Mangels were sown on the 9th and 23rd of May. The land was in the 

 same condition as the turnip land, and the same attention was paid to it before and after 

 seeding as was given the turnips. The seed was sown on the flat and the plants 

 thinned out to 14 inches. A good catch was obtained, and the plants did extra well 

 until a hail storm, on the 20th July, riddled the leaves. This put them back greatly^ 

 and when frost came on the 12th September and stopped all i'urther growth they 

 had hardly attained half their size. 



A difference in yield will be observed in favour of early sowing.
