Aiea Who have studied TIE war food
conditions IN Europe ~ that the rula'
baga. more than anything else. has
enabled the Germans to fight OF star
walton. While rutabagas were grown
there before the war. now they are
raised IN every yard. parks. fiolas and
along highways. For three years the
poor m Germany have had little else.
and rutabagas have been meat and
bread to them.
II might not be q bad idea for rs
Americans to grow the rutabaga more
extensively for who knows what may
happen to other food crops?
Rutabagas may be stored for winter
use and are easily grown. Also. they
are late crop. and may be sown after
the first crops Of other vegetables
have been harvested. The latter part
OF June or first Of July Is time enough
for them.
Rutabagas are sown and cultivated
like turnips, although they require
slightly longer growing season. The
rutabaga is a better food than tur-
nips. -,
Sow seeds in rows from 10 to Is
inches apart. One ounce Of seed viii
do for $50 feet OF rev. After the
plants come up thin them to about 3
inches apart. which may be further
thlnned as the young roots are fit TO
eat. SO that later on the plants will be
about foot apart. II they stand too
close to each other the roots will be
smaller and not so nicely formed.
Rutabaga seed may be sown broad
cast and raked In, but the crop will
not be as good. II should grow quick
ly and therefore care should be taken
to have the soil treated with well rot
ted manure.
This is an ideal crop for those who
delayed their garden operations until
the June sun got warm.
