The Cultivation of Rutabaga Turnips


&C. c., Allentown, Ga,
writes: would like your opin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY or
planting rutabagas now, and how
much fertilizer would be neces-
sarv TO make it worth while?
How much seed should be used
per acre?
If is now rather late to seed ruta-
bagas. We think this crop shoula
ordinarily be gotten into the SOL
in late A1,o11st or early September
in order to insure its rapid develop
ment during the cool months OF au-
t1mn. Planted at this season the
crop may do fairly well in mild
winter, but that of course is probe
NAUTICAL. If you do plant the ruta-
bagas now put them in rows three
feet apart, fertilize literally and
work down to a stand as soon as
POSSIBLE. Three hundred pounds ana
rpwards of a fertilizer containing
az per cent nitrogen, 9 per cent
nhosphoric acid, and per cent pot
ash will answer very well for TINS
cron. We would broadcast part OF
If into the soil before the seed are
planted and work into the surface
with harrow.
Seed in drills as advised, using
at the rate Of about to pounds
of seed per acre. When - turnlps
have made a good develo"'oent thin
out and sell the young plants for
salad. This variety makes a very
excellent type Of salad. Thin the
plants as quickly as possible to
where they stand at least II 1nches
apart in the drill row.
A part of the fertilizer should be
reserved and distributed between the
middle Of the drills every week or
two during the fall season.

Ia for mixing sweet AeSu--ollo
using oat or wheat straw ana
corn and the other using peaVlne
hay and corn.
Tt would be very difficult to make
very satisfactory mixed feed by
using oat or wheat straw with corn
in the first place, and peavine hay
and corn in the second place. The
proportions to use would first of all
depend on the class of animals to be
fed and their age, size and cond1-
ton.
For hogs only concentrated ra-
ton made up primarily Of cereals
and such green feed as they will
gather in the field is likely to prove
very economical and effective. or.
course grazing crops can be used as
a partial maintenance ration during
the growing season, but to keep hogs
in a good thriving condition and to
finish them off some grain must be
fed as well. Dat straw is rather
low grade roughage, standing con-
siderably below Timothy hay and
much below clover or peavine hay
or even good shredded corn slower.
AS a sole roughage for any class o.
live stock it would not prove satisfac-
tory, and even blended with corn and
made sweet by the addition Of a lit
tie molasses thereto it would still
Mot prove a satisfactory feed. 1t
would be better adapted for the
maintenance of beef cattle to be
carried through the winter than for
dairy COWS. This class Of animals
requires a ration containing a lit
tie more protein.
Peavine hay and corn, If gro
and mixed together will make bet
ter proportioned ration than if mixed
with oats and corn. This, ratio
would serve better for the nutrition
of dairy cows than he one previous
ly mentioned. Neither of these
would be satisfactory to feed to
horses and mules. The peavine hay
| should h. on equal amount of Tim
othy. pulled fodder, or bright, clean
slower which is free from dust mixed,
with it. Horses and mules will do
better if they eat this roughage in
its natural condition. You can make,
an excellent concentrated ration for
horses and mules by mixing to-
gether 600 pounds corn and cob
meal, ESQ pounds cottonseed meal
ana 100 pounds Of peanut meal. Feed
from 10 to- Is pounds Of this mix.
ture day, depending on the age
and size of your work stock and the
character of labor they are perform,
| ing.
Corn combined on the basis of
equal parts with cottonseed meal
makes fairly good ration for dairy
COWS. Peanut meal may be substi-
tuted for the cottonseed meal. The
use of one-third corn, one-third
| wheat bran, and one-third peanut or
cottonseed meal ma1ro~ a still bet
ter ration for dairy cows. Corn in
| the proportion Of two parts to one
OF peanut or cottonseed meal makes
| a good ration fn,. heaP COWS

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

areas and furnish blue prints ana
plans on which to SECURE estimates
and predicate the cost of the work.
up to December 81, 1919, 276.S miles
ing and q incorporating drainage
enterprises have been established IN
Georgia. The average area OF the
operating enterprises was 1923 acres
up to December 81, 1919, 276.S miles
of open drainage ditch had been
completed, and the additional works
under construction at that date ag,
gregated 1919 miles of additional
ditch. Work Of this character has
been in progress SO long as to COM
pletely establish it's practlcaolllty
and adssntage to our landowners. 1t
is very desirable, in view Of the con-
ditions by which we aNe now con-
fronted, that all the areas OF land
in our state needing drainage be
brought under the rlow as rapldly
as possible. Let us finish this 9op
which we have so auspiciously pc

we have made such commemorate
progress up to the present time.

Front Royal and the sons and daugh- :

these old Virginia towns it seems al

town.
After the civil war Front Royal
tried to resume the tenor OF its way.

economic customs had been upset.

Front Royal; Population of the
country roundabout increased. There
were two currents of settlers. One
moved up. or southwark. along the
Shenandoah valley from Pennsyl-
vania and western Maryland. and the
other moved from eastern or elder"
Virginia across the Blue Ridge to
the newer. fruitful and cheap lands
in the west. and west" then meant
to large numbers of Americans the
great country--wild mountains and
fair valleys-which lay beyond the
plain OF eastern Virginia and on this
side of the Alleghenies.
As population grew the organiza-
tion Of new county was called
for. and in 1885 one was established
by the Virginia Legislature on the pc
tition of numerous Americans whose
homes were in the Blue Ridge and
valley of Virginia. To that new
county was given the name Warren.

names sets forth that Warren county.

Front Royals growth was steady;
though not sensational, up to the civil
war. As all Americans who read
must know, the valley OF Virginia
was one Of the cockpits OF that war.
The valley had its own campai gns
and it had campaigns which were re-
lated to the farther-fung campaigns
OF northern Virginia. The Manas-
sas Gap railroad was one Of the stra- :
tegic steam lines of the war, and

THE establishment of towns was
popular form of speculation in
the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries. Men speculated in the pur-
chase of a tract of land and its sub
division into lots before they had
much opportunity to speculate. or
invest" il you prefer the WORD, IN
the stocks of turnpike companies and
canal companies. An act OF the
legislature was required to establish
a town and in the Maryland and Vir-
ginia statutes may be found record
ing of the establishment OF hundreds
of towns. scores of which were es-
tablished" within what We call the
neighborhooG of Washington.
Some of these towns were sue
cess in that sufficient number of
persons bought d lot and erected d
home TO give the place the appear
ance Of a town. Some OF these places
grew into towns we know today ana
some OF them prospered for while
and passed from earth. Some OF the
towns "estsblished" by act Of the leg
islatures Of Maryland and Virginia
never became towns in fact. and the
site for town by Happy creek on
the road down from Chester gap had
been proved and the plan OF certain
gentlemen. ancestors OF ours, was 10
buy the holdings of the settlers tnere
and establish a town. Very likely the
original settlers in the place bought
a town lot, and perhaps the new town
was so surveyed as not TO require the
removal of first settlers homes. That
is conjecture.

the other east-and-west streets,

streets are Blue Ridge avenue,
Strickler street. Cloud, Trout, Manor

great names were not exhausted, the
town authorities began numbering

There is debate and disagreement
in Front Royal as to which avenue
has the finest and handsomest homes
on it. and which of the streets and
avenues is the most aristocratic. but
this dispute. if settled at all. must be
settled in Front Royal. and not in

other splendid houses in and close
by Front Royal and hundreds that
are just as full of happiness as
though they were fine.
Front Royal has two newspapers.
two banks and two hotels. The
eldest OF the newspapers Is the War

before the civil war. as the Valley Ca
