OLDS’ TURNIPS AND RUTABAGAS 
Farmers should grow more rutabagas and turnips. Stock will thrive and gain rapidly when these are included In 
their feed. Turnips can he sown with oats and other grain and in that way they cost practically nothing. Enormous 
yields per acre may be obtained. Ask for Wisconsin Bulletin No. 330, “Root Crops are Profitable.” 
CULTURE: For early turnips sow as soon as the ground can be worked in drills 14 inches apart, rutabagas 
30 inches apart. Thin the early varieties of turnips to 6 or 9 inches in the row and rutabages to about 12 
inches. For a fall crop of turnips sow in July or August and for the main crop of rutabagas sow about June 15th. 
The roots should be harvested before a severe frost and stored in a cool cellar covered with dry soil. A packet 
will sow 50 feet, one pound an acre in drills and 2 or 3 pounds an acre broadcast. If larger quantities are wanted, 
see our Market Gardeners’ Price List, page 40. Seed is very short this year. Order early.
