TURNIP 
1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 1 lb. per acre. 
_ Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted 
in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while 
for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in 
rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters: of an inch deep. 
A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn 
or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots is effected by rotation 
of crops, the use of commerical fertilizers instead of manure and 
the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion.
