bags or loose in the car. A grower wishing 

 to ship to any market should write to the 

 city for the requirements regarding the 

 package to be used and the size of roots 

 wanted. 



Storage. Several of the large muck men 

 own storage plants and place the carrots in 

 them when the fall price is low, $9.00 or less 

 a ton. Later the carrots are sold as the mar- 

 ket "cleans up/' often returning from $20.00 

 to $25.00 a ton. 



Carrots may be stored in the muck if good 

 drainage is available. Make a conical pile 

 of carrots on the muck about 3 feet wide at 

 the base and of any length. Throw muck as 

 a covering over this pile, at first about 3 

 inches deep. Later, as cold weather comes 

 on, more muck is needed. Sometimes a 

 covering 12 to 15 inches is necessary. The 

 carrots can be removed as wanted, beginning 

 at the end of the pile. 



Yields, Cost and Returns. It is not hard 

 to produce 800 to 1,000 bushels of first class 

 carrots to the acre. More have been pro- 

 duced. Every grower has been surprised at 

 the yield, size of roots and the clean straight 

 character of their growth.
