RUTA BAQA. 
CULTURE — K lit a 
Ha^c* seed shouki be 
sown three or lour 
weeks earlier than 
that of the table varie- 
ties of turnips. The 
j?roiind should be en- 
riehed with well-rotted 
manure and the seed 
sown in drills 2% 
inches apart and 
thinned out to 6 or 8 
inches in the rows. 
When the roots have 
fully matured and be- 
fore severe weather 
nets in, pull, cut oft" the 
tops and store them in 
root-cellar or pit. In some sec- 
tions the seed is sown broad-cast 
jind the Ruta Bagas are allowed 
to take their chances with the 
-weeds, but this method is seldom 
i*uccessful except on new elcarint;.
