EXPERIMENTS WITH MANGELS. 



Eight varieties of mangels were grown. The seed was sown in drills thirty inches 

 apart but such an extremely poor stand was obtained that practically no thinning was 

 necessary. The first sowing was made May 4, and the second sowing two weeks later. 

 The crop received four irrigations, July 12, 21, 30 and August 11. The roots were 

 pulled October 5. The yield per acre is estimated from the product of two rows, each 

 sixty-six feet long.
