is a second crop, coming after a crop of early potatoes. 

 The soil is the same as the other crops, light loam. The 

 crop of 1891 was cabbage, seven cords of manure was 

 used. The crop of 1892 was early potatoes, planted in the 

 drill, fine rotted manure with six hundred lbs. phos- 

 phate used in the drill, no manure or phosphate was used 

 for the turnip crop. After the potatoes were dug, the land 

 ■was brushed and purple turnip seed sowed at the rate of 

 one lb. to the acre, on the 8th of August, in drill 14 inches 

 apart, hoed through once, and thinned by boys. The crop 

 is smooth and handsome and the yield is three hundred 

 and fifty (350) bushels on the half acre.
