TURNIP —White Fleshed 
Culture. — Sow early varieties in 
April as soon as ground can be 
worked, and in drills 14 inches apart. 
Main or late crop sorts can be sown 
up to August. Cover seed 34 inch 
and thin out 4 to 6 inches in the row. 
Swedish, or Rutabaga varieties for 
farm crop can be drilled about 24 
inches apart and thinned 8 to 10 
inches apart. A first class com¬ 
mercial fertilizer should be applied 
to the land rather than manure which 
toughens the roots. Cultivate well 
and frequently. An ounce of seed 
will sow 150 feet of drill or 1J4 
pounds to the acre.
