The little village OF Baiersdorf, IN
Bavaria, has the reputation Of raising
the finest horse radish in Europe.
Over two square miles Of land are de-
voted to this crop alone, and the an
nual receipts for the roots total over
$120000. The average yearly yield Is
IN excess Of 100000 pounds.
The land is annually plowed and
made into ridges about 80 inches vide.
The roots for planting are dug IN
March and are sprouted in moist SAND.
When the season is well advanced
these sprouts are set in the soil, the
planter using sharp stick to assist IN
the setting. Two rows, 16 to 20 inches
apart, are set on each ridge, the
plants being placed 5 to 10 incnes
apart in the rows. Before planting,
the little fibers attached to each root
are rubbed off by the hand or with a
cloth. After the opening is made n
the soil the plants are set in obliQuely
and the dirt well pressed down.
Soon the shoots form and all OF
these except the strongest are taken
on. The ground is loosened by hoelng
and the weeds destroyed. From the
middle OF June till the middle OF July
on cloudy days the soil is uncovered
from the stem and the side roots
rubbed on with soft rags. Care Is
taken that the lower roots that nour-
ish the main root are not disturbed
In heavy soils this uncovering is nee
essary but once. while in light soils It
has to be repeated once. After the
little fbers have been removed the
soil is again pressed on the roots and
the beds are we'll watered. sometimes
with liquid manure.
Between the end of August and the
middle OF September the stalks are
cut off by means of sickle-like knife.
and the end roots are left in the
ground for the beginning of the new
crop next year.
II is not an easy matter to change
a horse-radish field to anything else,
as the smallest roots left in the soil
develop into full-grown plants II per
mitted to do so.
