Average yield of 14 varieties in rows ; 11 tons 652 lbs.

. TUKNIPS. 



Twelve varieties of turnips were sown, but they were so badly injured by the 

 turnip-fly soon after they came up, that before their injury was noticed, the crop was 

 practically destroyed. 



EXPERIMENTS WITH MANGELS. 



TEST OF VARIETIES. 



Ten varieties were sown on May 4, and again on May 18, in rows 30 inches apart 

 on backsetting. The crop was irrigated four times: July 22, August 1, 10 and 29. 

 Both plantings were pulled on October 10. The yield in each case was computed 

 from the weight of roots from two rows, each 66 feet long.
