EXPERIMENTS WITH MANGELS. 



Eight varieties of mangels were sown under uniform conditions. The land www c 

 clay loam that had grown potatoes in 1909. 



The first sowing was made May 21, and the second June 3. Both lots were pulled 

 October 10. The rows were thirty inches apart and the young plants were thinned out 

 to about nine inches apart in the row. The yield per acre in each case was estimated 

 from the product of two rows each GG feet long.
