Large White Belgian Carrot—For Stock Feed Only 
The value of food crops for stock is just beginning to be appreciated in the South. One 
of our most valuable is the Belgian Carrot, an immense cropper, having produced as high as 
20 tons of roots per acre. In the Central South they are easily kept for feed all through the 
winter, while in the Lower South they can be left in the ground all winter and pulled as 
needed. The use of carrots in connection with dry feed helps keep the animals in good 
condition, and in milk and dairy cattle the flow of milk is largely Increased. One thing 
must be remembered when large crops are wanted, and that is the crop must be fed by ma¬ 
nure or commercial fertilizers in proportion. Sow in drills 3 feet apart, using 4 pounds of 
seed per acre. When well up thin out the plants to 6 Inches apart. They should be grown 
on land that has previously been cultivated and worked deeply. Give thorough cultiva¬ 
tion throughout the season. Packet, 5c; ounce, 10c; pound, 26 c; pound, 65e; postpaid.
