FIELD ROOTS. 



If good results are to be obtained in raising live-stock some succulent food has 

 to be provided for the winter. There is none better than field roots. This season 

 extensive variety tests were carried on with turnips, mangels, sugar-beets, and carrots. 

 Each variety was sown in duplicate test plots of Vioo acre each. 



TURNIPS. 



In this test there were twenty-three varieties. They were sown on summer- 

 fallow on May 23, and were pulled on October 8.
