ROOT CROPS. 



The root crops this year of all sorts have never been surpassed since the Farm was 

 started, yield and quality being considered. Turnips, mangels, carrots and sugar beets 

 were all extra good. 



All root seeds, including carrots, were sown with ordinary grain hoe-drill, which 

 proved satisfactory, saving considerable labour in making drills. The yields were com- 

 puted from the weight of two rows, 66 feet long and 30 inches apart.
