CULTURE: Carrots will do well on practically any soil although they will do 
the best on loam. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Thin the seedlings to 2 or 3 inches apart in the row. The seed should be sown to 
a depth of about four times the diameter of the seed. Do not depend upon one 
planting only as they are at their best when young and tender. Plant every two or 
three weeks up to the middle of July. Varieties % are recommended for freezing.

Stock Carrots 
Carrots make excellent feed for livestock. 
They may be substituted for grain or other con- 
centrates to the extent of replacing one-half of 
the dry matter. When thus used 8 to 10 pounds 
of roots will replace 1 pound of concentrates. 
Roots can be produced for from $4 to $5 per 
ton. Improved Long Orange is used for stock 
and table. See page 28 for other root crops. 
111. LONG ORANGE BELGIAN. (90 
days.) While most of our other varieties of car-

Orange Belgian, on account of its great produc- 
tiveness, is especially desirable for that purpose. 
The roots are mammoth in size, about 14 inches 
long, yielding often as high as 10 tons per acre,
