The average yield from the 1st sowing was 30 tons 1,060 lbs. per acre. 

 The average yield from the 2nd sowing was 15 tons 1,852 lbs. per acre. 



MANGELS. 



Two sowings were made of each variety, the first on May 10th, and the second on 

 May 23rd. The seed was used at the rate of about six pounds per acre. Before sowing, 

 the land was made up in drills two feet apart and rolled with a heavy land roller to 

 make a firm seed bed. When the young plants were about three inches high they -nere 

 thinned out, leaving them about seven inches apart in the rows. The roots were pulled 

 October 25th.
