RADISH 
CULTURE. Radish should be grown on good rich sandy 
loam. Avoid seeding in soil where you have had any 
root crop that became infested with root maggot, if pos¬ 
sible. As a preventive of maggots it is well to treat your 
soil with a good dressing of tobacco dust, crude nap- 
thalene flakes, or Carbola. By using these preparations 
at intervals of about 10 days, you will be able to over¬ 
come maggots. 
Plant your radish one-half inch deep in rows 12 to 14 
inches apart as soon as the soil is in condition to work 
nicely in the spring. When the plants are about 1 inch 
high, thin enough to avoid crowding. Cultivate often 
and shallow to retain moisture and destroy weeds.

Rotate Your Crops 
If you plant the same crop on the same piece of 
ground each year the soil becomes exhausted quicker 
than if you plant a different crop on this same soil. 
Also disease and insect pests multiply much faster 
on soil that has had the same crop, year after year. 
If you plant a root crop one year, do not plant another 
root crop on this same ground the next year.
