Cuthbertson will be of in- terest to many: "Carrot seed does best in the islands of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, where the soil is either a rich sediment or ; The soil being al- ways moist and there being small chance of drying out, good crops are always harvested. "The seed is sown about June and most growers like to sow on the peat land. Earlier sowing than June results in oversized roots, and oversized roots are not to be commended for planting. The roots are ready for lifting in No- vember, and during the latter part of that motitit e start is made with plant- ing, if weather conditions are favor- able. The roots are lifted and laid out in rows with the leaves cut off. A care- ful selection is made of each variety. When grown in the peat soil the roots are fully and perfectly developed and there is no question as to whether a root is right or wrt)ng. Any off shape or color can be detected at a glance. "The ground is marked off in rows three feet apart by a marker, which, drawn by two horses, marks three rows at each journey. It is wonderful what straight rows can be made by an ex- pert driver.
