During the past Two winters tests
were made at the Kansas experiment
station to determine the practicability
of producing asparagus in winter.
These We're moderately successful. The
stalks we're raised under a bench in
one of the propa eating houses. About
The middle of October the roots to be
used We're dug from garden out OF
doors and buried where they could be
conveniently got al. On the ground
under the fowpipe a bed with three or
four inches Of rich soil was made and
IN this the roots were placed so that
there was one plant 10 about every
10 square inches.
These roots Mere covered with an
other layer Of soil four inches deep.
The bed was we'll wet up after planting
and kept thoroughly moist. No cul-
tiyatlon was given as the soil remained
loose and mellow Stalks large
enough for cutting we're ready in two
weeks after the bed had been made
In about six weeks the roots became
exhausted and had to be replaced by
new ones The quality Of the stalks
Was as good as those raised out Of
doors. but they lacked size. The last
crop raised lasted for 80 days and from
bed OF pa So fl an average Of a
pound day Vas secured At ordinary
prices the receipts from this would
but little more than pay for the work.
It Is probable, however. that the yield
could be increased and the expense de-
creased if the work was taken up in
i commercial way
