Twenty-seven varieties of swede turnips were sown 011 thirty-five farms. As far as can be ascertained, the only cases in which clubroot appeared have been in seed from the one source, and Hie trouble appeared on several farms using the seed in question. This would appear to show that tho trouble actually came in tho seed. AH the co-operative turnip plots are to be carefully examined in order to discover if the above experience is general.
