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.
