The cultivation in theautumn goes far toward freeing the section of the soil that is thenuppermost from the presence of these noxious intruders. And thecultivation in the spring before sowing the crop will go far toward se-curing a similar result with the section of the soil which was under-neath in the fall, but which was placed uppermost by the plowing inthe spring. The spring plough-ing should take place early to fa-cilitate the decay of the manure,and to lengthen the period foroccasional shallow surface culti-vation in the spring. Such cul-tivation will facilitate the reten-tion of ground moisture, hencethere is less difficulty in securinggermination in such soils whenthe weather is dry. ^^p^« ^°p s*^^p ^^^ T^^^p- Superphosphate and salt stand high in favor among commercialfertilizers for applying to the turnip crop. These manures may be usedat the rate of two hundred pounds of each and upward per acre. Theymay be sown on the land just bef
