Time Nears to Plant
Yellow Rutabagas
{. G. RICE. Garden Supervisor.

Yellow turnips or rutabagas need
a longer season than the white va
rites They should be sown early
and thinned to 10 inches apart in
rows two feet apart. This will give
an early fall crop for table use, and
for winter storage another planting
sshould be made in June.
Many people prefer the yellow tur-
nips to the white because of the ten,
dency of the latter to grow pithy
and spongy when mature. Their
chief value is to be eaten young, and
as a follow crop to peas and beans.
Twelfth of July, wet or dry, is the
ancient dictum for the planting of
turnips This is generally after the
peas have ceased to bear and have
been pulled up. Turnips are good
follow crop for early peas.
For early summer use, white turnlpS
should be sOwn with the early vege-
tables. but as they are not as popu-
lar during the hot months as in the
early fall season, the space may be
used for other vegetables unless the
garden is of ample proportions.

sample of the preparation, taken from
the feeding trough a day or so ago

At a meeting of the farm federation
