Weighing TurnipS in Field

The average man would find it rather
difficult to go into a five-acre turnip field
aud make close estimate of the weight
of the turnips there. But the English
farmer finds the calculation compare
lively simple. He generally plants his
turnips i'm ridges 2S inches apart, which
the farmers knows, makes 30 ridges to
the acre. Now, to estimate the weight
of crop. he carefully measures off
yard from row where the turnips seem
about the average, and pulls up the tur
nips in that yard and weighs them. Sup
posing that they weighs 10 pounds, a
simple calculation shows that the crop
averages little more than 2S tons to the
acre. If they weight II pounds, the
average will be about 81 tons to the
acre.
