EXPEKIMENTS WITH CAREOTS. 



Ten varieties of carrots were included in tlie test this year. As in the other root 

 tests, two separate sowings were made of each variety. The first sowing was made April 

 25, and the second two weeks later, on May 9. As in previous years, the intermediate 

 or Vosges sorts yield better than the long sorts, and are much easier and consequently 

 cheaper to harvest, and less liable to be broken in handling. Four rows of each sort, 

 each 100 feet long, were sown, and the yield per acre computed from the yield of 6G 

 feet of the two centre rows. These test plots were alongside of the mangels and the soil 

 conditions were the same. The drills were 30 inches apart. All were harvested October 

 24.
