EARLY OR LATE PLOUGHING?
A SANSON EXPERIMENT. To test the benefit derived from early ploughing, Mr StrodePenny, Sanson, carried out the following experiment: — Soft Turnips.—Plot I, ploughed
on September 27, yielded 20 tons, while plot 2, ploughed on December 10, yielded only IT tons. Both plots were sown on December 15. Swedes.—Plot I, ploughed on September 27, yielded 18 tons, while plot 2, ploughed on December 10, yielded 10 tons. Both plots were sown on December 15. The take on the early-ploughed land was about 75 per cent, better than on the late ploughing, and the roots on the early ploughing were about double the size of those on the late ploughing. — Agricultural “Journal.”
