TURNIP 



The value of Turnips and Ruta Bagas for feeding stock in fall and winter is not ful- 

 ly appreciated, as they are much liked by all kinds of stock and serve to keep 

 them in good condition. We earnestly recommend that farmers increase their 

 sowings largely, for we are sure the ca-op Avill prove remunerative. 



This wholesome and agreeable vegetable is most easily affected in its foi-m and 

 flavor by soil, climate and mode of culture. There are a great many varieties, but our list comprises the best for the 

 garden or farm. 



Sow in drills about two feet apart and half an inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to have the ground 

 rich and freshly stu'red. Thin early and keep free from weeds so that the young plants will not be checked in growth. Any 

 over crowding will result in rough and poorly flavored roots. It is important to get the spring and summer ci'op started very 

 early so that the turnips may have time to grow to sufficient size before hot weather causes them to become tough and bitter. 

 In middle and western states sow for fall and main crop from middle of July to last of August and in the ma^nner given for 

 spring sowing. In the field,turnips are often sown broadcast, though in most cases better results are obtained by drill culture. 

 For winter keeping, store the turnips in a cool cellar and cover with sand or turf to keep them fresh. Another method 

 is to put them in a pit dug in dry soil where there will be no 

 dangey of water standing and to cover with straw overlaid 

 with earth sufficiently deep to keep out frost. Thus pro- 

 tected, turnips will keep well till spring.
