Olds’ Mangels 
Mangels are highly nutritious and easily stored for 
winter, Greatly relished by all livestock and poultry. 
They are as digestible as grain; no silo is required. 
Mangels will save one-half the grain feed without re- 
ducing the milk yield. sow 75 
to 100 feet of drill: six pounds an acre. 
Mangels for winter storage should be planted about 
corn planting time. Make the rows about 20 inches apart 
for hand cultivation or three to four feet apart for horse 
cultivation. Thin to about four to six inches apart in the 
One ounce of seed will

Olds’ Turni 
s turnips 
CULTURE: For early turnips sow as soon as the 
ground can be worked in drills 14 inches apart, rutabagas 
30 inches apart. Thin the early varieties of turnips to 6 or 
9 inches in the row and rutabagas to about 12 inches. 
For a fall crop of turnips sow in July or August and for 
the main crop of rutabagas sow about June 15. The roots 
should be harvested in the fall and stored in a cool cellar 
covered with dry soil. A packet will sow 50 feet, one 
pound an acre in drills and 2 or 8 pounds an acre broad- 
cast. If larger quantities are wanted see our Market

“Kindly send me your seed catalog. 
If not ready, the 1941 issue will do. 
It might be interesting for you to 
know that I sent Olds’ vegetable 
seeds to England early this year and 
I have had such glowing accounts of 
the vegetables raised. I find I can- 
not do better than repeat for 1942.” |
