Show TURNIP CROP TO TURN UNDER grown that so cheaply and so larse amount of humus the reason I 1 advocate the glowing of turnips on an unlimited scale are that to my knowledge there is not a crop grown that so cheap ly abundantly and in so short a time so larg a quantity of humus for succeeding crops chile I 1 sell large quantities of them they are always sown as a humus crop and often turn out to be a money crop by disposing ot them in the market find this so satisfactory that on my small farm consisting of about 30 aarts every available acre in tl e late summer or tall Is sown to turnips of different varieties and sometimes scarlet clover seed is mixed in writes a correspondent of the agriculturist it sometimes occurs that an anex large crop is raised where none Is looked for the past fall ow ing to an early and very destructive frost which occurred in our vicinity hundreds ot acres 0 corn were almost entirely destroyed other crops such as late beans tomatoes and vines of all descriptions suffered likewise in our own case ten acres of cowpeas and soy beans were killed outright the sowing ot this entire field to turnips in time and long before the killing frost occurred produced a truly wonderful crop the result I 1 look for next year this field with its heavy crop of cowpea vines supplemented with several tons of decayed turnips an acre will not only make an ideal field for growing vegetables but will grow a large crop of any kind at a comparatively small outlay for enriching the soil the course I 1 have followed in growing something besides weeds on the soil has been a source of a great deal ot satisfaction in maintaining soil ter tilita and is one of the secrets of rals ing good vegetables |
