Old Gardener Says.... 
Growing good root crops is an art. In the 
big English shows, where vegetables out- 
rank flowers in eye appeal, well-grown 
parsnips, carrots and beets usually decide 
_who wins. 
Good root crops can’t be grown in stiff 
clay that bakes hard in the summer, If 
clay is your problem, it will pay to give 
special attention to the section in which 
you intend to grow these vegetables. This 
is the place to use your well-rotted manure, 
compost or other organic matter (after the 
needs of your vine crops have been met). 
You can use coal ashes too, but apply them 
in fall, so fall and winter rains can leach 
away the sulfur. If you can’t stick your 
index finger full length into the soil after 
you've added these modifiers, it’s too hard. 
for good root crops. 
Another important point in growing good. 
root crops is early thinning, If they are 
left to grow crowded too long, they will 
twist and turn, trying to get their share 
of what room there is. And every time a 
carrot twists, it grows hard fiber at the 
twist.
