of turnips is to buy good seed by this we mean first knowing the germination of the seed and second having seed from a root crop that was inspected dur ing the growing season for any other plants than those of the var iety desired so spoke stanley ward of uxbridge before the convention of the ontario crop improvement association the preparation of the soil is also important in growing turnips we prepare in fall of 1943 for the crop in 1944 by ploughing twice the first time very shallow preferably with a oneway disc as soon as the 1943 crop is off then in october plough again a reasonable depth during the spring of 1944 we cultl vate the soil and harrow then just previous to the sowing of the tur nip seed plough a medium depth harrow and roll with the land roller j the method of sowing a turnip crop will depend on whether you want the turnips in ridges or on the flat we know there are a good many who prefer the latter method but we put up a light ridge one reason for this is that the hoeing is more easily done and with great er speed by the time the crop is hoed a second time the ridge is practically flat to produce a heavy yield of tur nips of good quality we sow both commercial fertilizer and borax to prevent water core both of these in the granulated form are sown with a turnip drill having a fertil izer attachment we get better re sults if this is done 2 or 3 days be fore the sowing of the turnip seed borax is used at the rate of 23 pounds to the acre some soil may not need that much if a large acre age is tobe sown we sow at inter vals of one to two weeks so that the hoeing is not all ready at once and some turnips will be ready for market early the seed should be treated for black rot a rather recent disease in our part of the province it attacks theyoung plants which lose their leaves and many die the turnips that live have a black- mark under the skin which may develop into rot i understand the seed we are getting this year been treat ed witharason i do not know whether this treatment ispast the experimental stage or not last year we used corrosive sublimate as a preventative and found it ef fective using 4 tablets to enough water to cover 2 pounds of seed tied in a cheesecloth sack this was left immersed for 20 minutes in the solution then the seed spread on paper to dry this should be done aday of two before sowing as the seed will be enlarged with the moisture arid it should go back to normal size another difficulty we have in growing turnips of good quality and one that has not been overcome as far as i know is the white maggot that works in the root i have been told that it is thej cabbage worm and we may- spray for it but have been hoping that something could be found with which to treat the seed or sow in the soil which would be much more simple than spraying the hoeing of the crop is going to be heavy if the germination of the seed is almost 100 per cent to avoid this and yet to have the seed flow out of the cannister evenly and at the proper rate we destroy the germination of one third of the seed to be used by placing in a hot oven the spacing of the plants in the row should be from 10 to 12 inches or it should depend on whether you want turnips for market early in the season or later- as the dist ance apart will affect the growth our method of harvesting this root crop is to use two single ploughs without the mouldboards behind a rubbertired tractor in this way no soil is thrown over the turnips the only method we have used for lifting turnips for market is by hand as the skin must not be in jured- and the only satisfactory place to store turnips is in an underground root cellar or a pit in the field the marketing of turnips will de pend on what your market calls for whether plain just trimmed or washed or waxed we use a mech- ancial washer and the turnips are elevated on to a table after drying they are waxed by hand for by this method they get another in spection and more turnips are cull ed out whereas mechanical waxers are stronger on the quantity they put through we wish to create a market for quality we feel that nothing hurts our market more than to sell turnips that areunder- sized rough or as was done this year frozen or wormy turnips some are wondering why turnips are not moving across intblthe statesfastcr than theylare one ex porter told me the turnips they have over this year are very poor quality and much inferior to ours but onions are in short supply over therealso and they make the sale analysis protein 15 fat 3 fibre 7 a growing mash plays an
