Acting Secretary of State.-
Mr. PqaliCrdy the agricultural and horticultural editor ofcihg
Muscogee Democrat says : t '" "' ""' " '"fP
" Much difference of opinion exists in relation to'the'proper
time for planting turnips. Those who would 'Imve'enriyfallUur
nips must run some risk. nor despair if they. lose' one or twes
plantings. To havo good eary foJJ turnip? imported or norhx
cm seed only should be sowed. Large Red Top? EngJisNjiiK
folk Long Hanover and White Dutch may be planted from the
20th of July to the 20th of August. For 'later crops seed'cf
our own raising will answer every purpose. For d general crop?
there is no turnip to compare-' with tho English or Svvedjsh jRtftri.
Baga. They are richer in saccharine matter more pVoductivc"
and keep better than any other turnip jn this cljmato. Theypro-
tluce a large smooth loaf superior to thejcollard for greens. 'Hogsj
and stock of all kinds are extravagant fopd of th'e roo.ajjJTr!)
most people prefer them for the tnble It is no uncommon Jhing
in Northern States to make 1000 bushels to tho acre and therp js
no reason why they will not produqe equally as abundantly here
They should bo planted from the middle of July to the mfdtjlpj
of August in drills 2 feet apart and when up thinned out Jrj
12 inches. In iresh now land thoy may be sowed broadcasttak-
Ing care to sow them very thin. It was an old maxim of nfijv
tiler's that to plant a square of the garden in turnips you houldjt
tako n thimble full of seed stand in the square and. .throwuthoj
seed nlj over the fence. Most crops are injured by too mupl
