TURNIP 
CULTURE. Sow from August to April for early crops. Sow the Early White Flat Dutch or 
Extra Early White Top Milan during early winter in rows 20 inches apart. Thin plants 1 
to 2 inches apart. For summer crops sow any of the other varieties at intervals of two 
weeks. In good soil the earliest varieties will produce roots for the table in about 14 days 
time, although it is customary to expect maturity in 3 or 4 weeks. Success depends upon 
the selection of soil and its subsequent preparations. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill 
and 3 or 4 pounds to an acre. Turnips are often attacked by small black flea beetles, which 
riddle the leaves. A liberal application of slug shot will drive them away.
