TURNIP. 
For early use, the Turnip should be sown as early as possible, so as to 
have the benefit of Spring showers. The strap-leaved varieties are the 
best for this purpose. For the main crop for fall and winter, sow during 
July and August, and just before rain, or during a showery time if pos- 
sible. Euta Bagas should be sown about the first of J une. The soil 
should be rich and mellow, and kept free from weeds. Sow in drills 
from twelve to eighteen inches apart and half an inch deep. Thin out 
the plants to five or six inches apart in the drills. Euta Bagas should 
be ten inches apart. One and a half pounds of seed are sufficient for 
an acre.
