That part of the field on which my carrots were raised, was 

 sub-soiled; or rather my carrots were sub-soiled out, at harvest 

 time in 1846, with decidedly beneficial results for the present or 

 last crop of carrots. The crop was harvested with the same in- 

 strument this year. I set out an orchard of apple trees on this 

 same lot of land last spring; they were set 30 feet apart. The 

 growth on them has not been added to the product of carrots and 

 ruta bagas. Although the crop was not materially injured by 

 the trees, yet the rapid growth the present season on my trees, 

 was of consequence to me. . 



The rot commenced and progressed this season, on my ruta 

 bagas, the same as it has for two years on the potato crop. My 

 round turnips have proved sound, and all other roots. My su- 

 gar-beets were uncommonly fine and free from rot. The com- 

 mencement and termination of this rot in the turnip crop, as 

 well as that of the potato crop, seems to be past finding out. 



Sutton, Nov. 13, 1847.
