 home consumption and Northern markets. 

 Plant 1^2 ounces to 150 foot rows, 4 pounds to 

 one acre. Sow^ broadcast, or in roiws IVz to 2 

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

 overcrowding hinders proper development.

 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
