Fertilizer for Turnip..


Turnips have been commonly regard
ed as q phosphate" crop. BY this l
mean that phosphates have been (by
many considered the fertilizer par ex-
cellencc for this crop; and that IL phos-
pilates were literally applied to land
devoted to turnip culture this was all
sufficient, no other fertilizer was nec-
essary. Our brethren across the sea
are capable Of giving US some valua-
BILE hints Us to the Drtilizers best
adapted and most profitably used in
the culture Of this important and popu.
lar crop. They have exhaustively test
ed the phosphates and heterogeneous
and potassic fertilizers singly and in
combination; they have used barnyard
manure literally twenty tons per acre.;
and they have tried raising them
without any fertilizer Whatever. They
have tried raising them on CONNER
cial fertilizers alone, without the aid
Of a barnyard manure, and have there
by succeeded In raising large and pro-
fitable crops. Barnyard manure used
alone has afforded large crops, but the
best and most profitable results have
been secured by n combination Of:
Barnyard manure, ten tons; bone meal
$50 pounds; muriate of potash, 100
pounds. intimately mixed, and above
quantity applied broadcast to the sim
gle acre.
The increase Of product resulting
from the Use of potash over and above
that where this salt was omitted was
five tons per acre. heterogeneous fer
tilizers alone do not give best results;
phosphate fertilizers alolc do not give
best results; combination of nitro
genous and phosphate fertilizers, but
without the addition of potash in some
form, do not give best results; a union
Of the three or complete" fertilizer
has invariably given uniformly profit
able results. This IL, as might be rca=
sonably expected, when the fact Ia
taken into consideration that the t,lr-
nip crop ia essentially sugar" crop,
and that the presence of considerable
potash is IN important condition in
the formation within plants of CIR,
bo-hydrates. and especially of sugar.
