PROFITABLE CROPS FOR THE FARM.

I Thorp is no doubt that we in 'Now Zealand are gradually waking up to the fact that big money can be made i h.y growing crops for winter feeding, luf; so far wo have only touched the fringe of the question. How is it that small countries like Denmark and Switzerland procluce such wonderful quantities of dairy and farm produce? Mainly by growing root crops for winter feedl, and to a less extent somo feed for summer and autumn fattening. The vast majority of tlho farmers in New Zealand can easily increase the carrying capacity of their Hand by the same mean®. A good: crop of Carrofe, Mangels, Swedes or Turnips will produce from say forty to seventy tons per acre. We grow a large acreage in oarrofe for seed each year. Now, in yellow carrots we have perfected by selection on our own farms in New Zealand the finest liype and stock that it to be had in any part of the world—Cooper's Giant Yeiiow. It is immense in size and cropping powers, and fine and dean in shape with a wonderful' high percentage of dry matter. This splendlid carrot gives added richness and colour to the milk and cream. Out seed is new crop. New Zealand grown and tented by the Department of Agriculture, showing a fine percentage of growth.
