be sown at the same time 
you plant turnips, in rows 
2 y 2 to 3 feet apart. Culture

should be thinned to 8 to 10 
inches apart in the row. One

row; 1 to 2 pounds per acre.

or table variety.

Non-Parasitic Diseases 
Just as animals get deficiency diseases from lack 
of vitamins, plants sutler various diseases from lack 
of proper nutrition. Plants cannot change their loca¬ 
tion at will and are therefore more at the mercy of 
locally unfavorable conditions than are animals. Too 
high or two low temperature, too much or too little 
light, too much or too little moisture in the soil, 
excess of lack of some chemicals in the soil, mechan¬ 
ical injury by wind or hail — these and many other 
mal-adjustments between plant and environment may 
cause plant disease even when no parasite is present.
