A saving of one to two years is 

 effected by planting roots. A bed

 should give a sufficient supply for an 

 ordinary family; 7260 roots will plant 

 an acre. Select good, loamy soil, 

 plow deep, put in good quantity of 

 manure and 100 pounds of kainit to 

 1000 square feet of bed. Incorporate 

 thoroughly, make a trench 8 inches 

 deep, set plants 9 inches apart. In 

 field culture rows are placed 4 feet 

 apart.
