Turnips 
This is a very popular vegetable but 
many persons do not grow it on account 
of the ever-present chance of having 
wormy turnips. 
There are several ways that worms 
can be avoided: Maggot bait worked 
into the soil helps with many. One of 
the best remedies we had reports on last 
season was Pestex, a foul-smelling gray 
powder that no maggot-fly will tolerate. 
Work in along the rows on top of the 
soil. 
Late-planted turnips stand a good 
chance to miss the fly as it is less active 
after the first of August. 
There are many varieties of good 
turnips of which the Purple-Top White 
Globe seems to lead the list. The flesh is 
white, fine-grained, sweet and tender. 
WHITE EGG is the favorite with many, 
it being a pure white of egg-shape, 
roots of small grain growing about 
three inches. 
GOLDEN BALL is one of the best of the 
yellows. The flesh is golden yellow to 
amber, Adapted both to spring and 
fall planting. 
RUTABAGAS require a longer growing 
season to mature than do turnips and 
Should not be planted before late 
June. The same cultural directions 
apply.
