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 naphtha- 
lene flakes, or Carbola. Apply at intervals of about 10 
days. 
Plant 
to 14 
your radish seed one-half inch deep in rows 12 
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.
