FIELD EOOTS. 



On account of the hot, dry July, all varieties of roots were small, and the yields 

 below the average of ordinary years. 



The roots were of extra good quality, and dry weather in the fall when lifting, 

 permitted their being stored in the cellars in good condition. 



The yields were computed from the weight of two rows each 66 feet long and 

 30 inches apart. 



Turnips — Test of Varieties. 



Mangels — Test of Varieties. 



•Destroyed by wire- worms.
