Turnips and Rutabaga 
CULTURE—One-half ounce for 100 feet of row, one and 
a quarter pounds per acre. If sown broadcast use two pounds 
to the acre. Drill into rows foot apart and thin to 4 inches 
apart in rows. Frequent cultivation hastens the crop to ma¬ 
turity. For general crop turnips can be sown at any time un¬ 
til the latter part of August. 
RUTABAGA should be planted 18 inches between the 
rows and thinned out to 6 inches in the row. Requires long¬ 
er season to mature than is the case with common turnips. 
The most desirable early turnip to grow is SNOWBALL. 
It is large and of the highest quality. The best late Turnip 
is PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. The earliest of all is 
turnip Yori

MANGELS 
If you raise stock you will 
save money by feeding be¬ 
sides grain, beets and car¬ 
rots. These roots have the same influence on the health of 
your stock as fruits and vegetables have on yourself. You 
cannot eat all meat and stay in good health, neither can your 
stock eat all grain and stay well. All grain diet means ill 
health. You have to buy stock powder, call the veterinary 
maybe. Both cost money. Feed roots and your stock will 
be in pink of condition. You will do better financially, your 
stock will feel better and would thank you heartily if stock 
was endowed with the gift of speech. If in doubt as to what 
is the truth, whether it pays or does not pay to grow and 
feed roots, write to Dept, of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., 
for information about root crops, write to your Agricultural 
paper, ask your friends and then ACT. Use 4 lbs. of seed per 
acre.
