TURNIPS

 home consumption and Northern markets. 

 Plant IVi ounces to 150 foot rows, 4 pounds to 

 one acre. Sow broadcast, or in rows IVa to 2 

 feet apart. Cover a half-inch. Thin out as 

 overcrowding hinders proper development. 

 Turnips grow better in a light, rich soil. Tur- 

 nips and Rutabagas are also used extensively 

 for feeding stock; however, do not feed them 

 to milch cows as it affects the taste of the 

 milk. The approximate number of days to
