TUB IX>WLY TURNIP
r, "? ?' " !"? ? "- #
Mclver Williamson Given Advice **'
To Fall Plantlag
The turnip will furnish not only
the greatest yield, l>ut the greatest j
food yield for the smallest amount 1
of cultivation of any vegetable j
grown. In fact, tho turnip #houM I
never he cultivated at all, unions one
ha* an obatreu&rou* hueband who is
thp* >reveriufi"*Xrpm iv more malicious
occupation. %
It ix absolutely useless to plant
turnips except on rich land and even
then highly fertilized and manured.
Harrow these in thoroughly and then
re-harrow. Re-harrow generously in
recognition of the fact that this is
the last work which they will require.
Mukc a mixture of at least six of
your favorite varieties, including the
Milan, White Egg, Cowhorti, Golden
Ball, Purple Top, Seven Top and some
Rutabaga to be there when all the
rest ure gone. \ Sow these at the yple
of six pounds to the acre, broadens:.
Cover with rake or weeder and pack
with a hoe or roller. A calcium barrel
filled with dirt will do. vYoung*
turnips die because the ground dries
out faster than the roots go down.
Rolling will preventvthis, therefore,
roll early every morning before you
are allowed any chewing tobacco until
they t>egin to come up.
Plant only when there is a deason
in the ground. Plant as near the joth
of September as possible.*
I have noticed no vegetable equal J
ing the turnip in iodine content ex I
cept luttuce, beets and spinach. It i
is an indiscretion, if not a crime, for j
any family where there are children |
not to "have a plentiful supply of tur I
nips and spinach.
If you intend to plant one/-tenth [
acre of turnips, be sure to get eough j
fertilizer and manure for an acre and,
put it all on this one-tenth.
Turnips and spinach are most often
spoiled by over cooking, especial-1
ly spinach which should only be,
steamed.

Mont Clare, S. C., Sept. 3, 1929
Dairy Income Totals Large Profit j
Clemson College, Sept. 16?One of
the. reasons why more farmers are
not selling cream to the creamery
is the fact that a weekly, cream
check of $10 to $15 from four or;
five cows is considered insignificant
and Unworthy of the time and effort.
This idea was pointed out at a recent
meeting of dairy farmers by
one of the county agents in the state
who has had considerable experience
in dairying, says J. P. LaMaster,
head of the dairy division.
"The county agent explained that
most of these farmers compared the
small weekly cream check with the
returns received from a bale of cotton
in the fall, instead of multiplying the
weekly cream check by 52, which at
$10 per week would mean $520 for the
year," declares Mr. LaMaster.
"Another point mentioned in this
connection was thnt many farmers
are too willing to lay by their cows
during busy seasons, or at times when
they want to do something else. The
dairy cow can not be laid by like cotton
or corn and give satisfactoiy results.
In fact, this point is one of the
strong recommendations for dairying
on many farms because it requires
labor every day in the year and will
pay a profitable return."
In the trial of the case against Mrs,
i/ouis Pantages, wife of a wealthy
j show man of Los Angeles, who is
charged with second degree murder
and now in process at Los Angeles
several witnesses have testified thai
the woman was druBk at the time hei
automobile killed a Japanese.
Twenty-seven cases of suicide have
I been reported to the police of Hava
na, Cuba, during the past week, witl
I women outnumbering the men takim
their lives three to one. Twelve at
J tempted suicides were foiled.
