TURNIP UDO 287 



Pests. The root-maggot is the worst. In some 

 soils the pest is so bad that Turnips cannot be grown. 

 Carbon dioxide injected beside the roots will kill the 

 pests, but the process is too expensive and laborious. 

 Dress heavily after sowing with unleached ashes or with 

 tobacco dust. See also Cabbage-maggot treatment. 

 For flea-beetle : Bordeaux, alone or with soap ; kerosene 

 emulsion; arsenites; Paris green with land-plaster, one 

 part to fifty. 



TURNIP, SWEDISH. See Rutabaga.
