CAEEOTS. 



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

 Mcy 31. The seed was used at the rate of ahout four pounds per acre. Before sowin.?, 

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

 make a firm seed hed. When the young plants were ahout three inches high they were 

 thinned out, leaving them ahout five inches apart in the rows. The roots were pulled 

 on two different dates : October 14 and October 28. The yield has been calculated in 

 eat'h case from the weight of roots gathered from two rows, each 66 feet long.
