Witli this greater -uniformity in composition there is not the same necessity in 

 selecting turnips as -with mangels, and yield per acre and keeping qualities become 

 the chief factors to consider. 



Carrots. — On the whole, carrots are slightly higher in dry matter than turnips, 

 and in regard to sugar content occupy a middle place between mangels and turnips. 

 The differences between the varieties while not so great as with the mangels, are 

 larger than those noticed in the varieties of turnips.
