MADE MONEY ON TURNIPS.
One-haIf Acre and Crop of oats

Maycross NAN TOT 3UO Busnels from
one-hnIf Acre and Crop of Oats
Besides.
Waycross. Ga. May 5.-Mr. w. S.
Booth of Manor is making some prac-
teal demonstrations of the profits
there is in growing turnips for mar
ket in Ware county He planted a
half acre as an experiment in rutabaga
turnips last November, sowing them
broadcast. He has sold $50 bushels at
an average price of 40 cents per BUSH
ell He estimates that he has fed at
least 150 bushels more to his stock
during the winter. He used about IS
worth of fertilizer on the half acre,
and there was about s. expense for
labor preparing the land and about S.
for harvesting and shipping. Those fed
to stock were no additional expense as
he used them directly from his patch.
After shipping the turnips referred
to and feeding his stock as stated he
plowed in about twenty-five bushels
of small turnips too small to use 9TH
erwise on one-half of the ground. He
claims that this restores as much fer
tilizing properties as the 81 worth of
fertilizer which he used last fall
On the remaining half of the turnip
patch he had broad cast some oats at
the time the turnips were sown. and
states that the oats did not interfere
with the turnips in the least. but rather
seemed to benefit them. protecting them
to some extent from the winters cold.
He now has nice crop of oats, which
are just now ready to be harvested.
Mr.. Booth first plowed ten inches
deep and mixed the fertilizer thorough
ly with the soil before planting. He
expects to plant the same land in
sweet potatoes this month and next,
and says he confidently expects yield
of 300 bushels. He claims to have made
$50 bushels on half of the same land
before.

fastening to the postoffice found the
party in there, hunting among the pa

both doors to the Office closed and rhe
policeman shot at him, but the distance
was SO great that he was not hit. The
burglar returned the fire, and made his
escape out of the front door. The safe
in the office was torn up, but the vault
was not blown open. and so nothing
was lost. 1t is supposed that the po-
lieeman, Mr.. Bowen, recognized the
person.
