The '.oaf stalks aro <» a remarkably short ami tuc neck, which in tnmc Swedes is lonj and serves a useless purpose, is almost nbsinl in this distinet New Breed. This at once does a away with all superfluous waste, and the energy employed in the production of the plant is thcreforo concentrated into the bulb, the result being (lint both J. "size" and ".'inaHty" are practically assured. hi shape "SUPEIi'LATIVE" takes after both its parents, the bulbs being nearly as long as those of "Monarch," a j£ but with a much better "body," wiiieh is inherited from "Best of All," and it has l>oen proved to bo richer in Saccharine than any other Swede in cuiliva- X ❖ tion. The colour of the stiu is very distinct, being a purplish-pink, and thu quality, as already indicated, is of a remarkably nigh standard.

Extract from "THE NORTH BRITISH AGRICULTURIST." S <jv (Published Edinburgh, Scotland, 11th May, 1911.) * <> ■4> Sir,—Noticing in recent issues of your paper several discussions on club-root in turnips, lam taking the liberty of placing 'before you my experience <J> *j> with this disease when manager of the Moumaliaki Experiment Farm in this Dominion. _ 0 <£ In December IMS 1 sowed seventeen varieties of swedo turnips. All the varieties were sown on two different parts of the farm. The two situations were 0 <> fully a mile apart. On one portion the soil was a loose porous light loam, the other a heavy retentive clay. The varieties of swedo grown were principally <«> Sutton's and Uartons, and were originallv grown to lest their cropping qualities and suitability for the district. On the light porous soil the crop was manured .q, 4> with guano, on the clay soil with superphosphate, while on another portion of the same field basic slag was used. Just alter hoeing time club-root appeared a X in the crop in a very aggravated form. (It mav Ix? here noted that this was the first appearance of the disease on the farm or in that district, and its appear- a anco for thejirst time in such an aggravated form was rather startling.) In no instance could it bo observed that the different manurial applications mini- Y v mted or increased the disease. From the first it was noticed that two of the varieties, namely, Cartons Superlative and Sutton's Bosl-of-All, withstood tho % Y disease much better than any cf tho others, At the end of the season the former had not more than two-per cent, aficcfsl, and the loiter about four per cent. V Being anxious'to further investigate the discovery, I again sowed the same varieties of swedes next season in a field which had grown a cro]x> of rape the pre- V <> vious' season, thinking that the roots would be more liable to contract tho disease by growing two brassica crops in succession. This proved to be correct, <? s> the disease made its appearance in mueh the same form as the previous season. Again the same two varieties turned one to be largely resistant, more especially .0 <> the Superlative, which "showed little or no signs of being attacked by tho malady, while many; of the other varieties were completely destroyed. <J> <!> In coneluson I may sav that lam fully of opnion that in this Colony club-root can be large.iy combated by the growing of one of the varieties mentioned. In Ihia <> <> Dominion the disease is "a new one. and in vears to come it may assume a more virulent form, but for tho present lam satisfied (hat it can bo largely combated Q A bv growing either of the two varieties mentioned. If in this Colony these varieties are club-root resistant, 1 see no reason why they should not be so in Great *. <g> Britain, Farmers who have l«en troubled with the malady, cannot at least lose anything by giving either of the two varieties a trial—l am, etc., y ' 0 Hawera, N.Z. !'• GILL ANDERS. $ i The Leading Swede In Mew Zealand I ® $ <j> 4.t tho recent Competition of the Toko Farmer's Union (Taranaki) the first prize was gained by Mr. Evan Jones, and (lie second by Mr. Win.
