Successful culture Of TWRipS.-Itisa a
IN: fr,,,-, -s,c.riIiar to most farmers, that when
the soil IS heavy ne~fTI-e! e~-T cleared land Is
finely adapted TO the raising orrrc com.-
mon flat turnip; but that after few years,
this quality seems to disappear, owing
chiefly as is generally supposed, TO the
ravages Of the turnip fly. A farmer in the
western part of this State; entirely obvi-
atcs this difficulty by very simple expe-
dent. His farm is heavy fertile son,
ard though we'll adapted TO most farm
crops, it appeared TO be entirely untitled to
the turnip, like all others of a similar char
acter. The successful mode he adopted
is as follows: After having ploughed and
narrowed his ground, and reduced il TO a
fine tilth, he spreads over the surface seve-
raj inches of old straw, which is suffered
TO lie few weeks. Just before sowing
time, it is burned, the surface is narrowed,
the seed sown and brushed i'm. In this
way: he uniformly obtains the finest crops.
lie ascribes his success TO the destruction
of the insects by fire; but whatever may
be the cause, the practice is well worthy
OF trial by all possessing land Of a similar
character.
