Root Crops. 



t 



Root crops are little grown in western sections for any 

 jDnrpose, the silo having largely driven them out as a stock 

 food, and the market for them for other purposes being very 

 limited. In eastern sections they are grown to a considerable 

 extent for the market by market gardeners and others, and 

 occasionally for stock feeding. On Cape Cod, turnips, called 

 flat Cape turnips, have been a specialty. The usual acreage 

 has been sown there, and they have generally germinated 

 well and appear to be in good condition.
