MANGELS. 



Two sowings were made of each variety, the first on May 15th, and the second on 

 May 29th. 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 were 

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

 October 24th.
