TURNIPS 
CULTURE.—For early use, sow as early as the ground 
opens in the spring, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart; 
thin out to 6 to 9 inches in the rows; as soon as the first 
leaves appear sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slacked 
lime or Slug-Shot to destroy the black fly which will de- 
vour the plants if not attended to in time. For a fall 
and winter crop, sow in July or August. 
One ounce will sow 3800 feet of drill, 1 to 2 pounds 
per acre.
