EXPERIMENTS WITH TURNIPS. 



On May 5, twelve varieties of turnips were planted in a sandy loam, in rows 30 

 inches apart, on backsetting, the same again on May 19. After being thinned, they 

 were attacked by the flea-beetle so severely that the stand was badly affected. This 

 accounts to a great extent for the low yields obtained. The yield per acre in each 

 case was computed from two rows each 66 feet long. They were all pulled October 16.
