SOMETHING NEW ABOUT MANGEL GROWING. 
From The Yorkshire Post, January 20th , 1900. 
A test has been conducted at the Experimental Farm at Holmes Chapel, in Cheshire, which is of an extremely valuable and interesting character, and as it 
is a form of test which we believe to be quite new in its application, we produce the most salient points for the information of the agriculturist, iwenty-rour 
varieties of mangel were grown, 8 lbs. of seed per acre being sown, between May 5th and 1 ith. The object was first to test the varieties ; second, to ascertain their 
tendency to run to seed ; third, to ascertain the amount of water and dry matter ; and fourth, to test the relative values in accordance with the total yield of bulbs 
and the total yield of dry matter per acre. The average yield per acre varied in the different varieties from 25 tons to 41 tons. Thirteen exceeded 30 tons per 
acre, the varieties shown being in every case obtained from one of four large firms. . 
Carters’ Windsor Yellow, which gave the heaviest yield— 41 tons- gave a value per ton in accordance with the dry matter 
contained of 12s. 5d., taking an average value of 15s. Id. all round.
