Turnips and rutabagas are easy to raise 
and easy to store. Early varieties can be 
sown in the spring just as soon as you can 
get them in the ground, but most kinds do 
best as a fall crop. Sow 2 to 3:lbs. to the 
acre the last part of July. 1 oz. of seed will 
drill 150 feet of row. For successive crops, 
make 2 or 3 plantings at about 2-week in- 
Both these vegetables store well. Simply 
store them in outdoor caves, a cool, dark 
basement or pit. Make sure there is ade 
quate ventilation as mold might develop 
where it is warm and stuffy.
