Parsalps are a iangseagon root
crop, which occupy the ground until

recommended for beets and carrots
the use OF 1,e06 pounds per acre Of
high-grade fertilizer, anaIy1ing 3 per
cent nitrogen, s per cent phosphoric

Present wartime conditions prevent
the use OF the amount Of potash recon-
mended, and probably the best advice
that may be given Ii to use as mura
potash as can be obtained now.
