HOFFMAN Inc Jackson Phone 304 1X1 Be Sure To Thin Out Root Crops In Garden LAFAYETTE The natural tendency is to seed crops like beets, carrots, radishes, lettuce, turnips and endive too thickly. This is because it is difficult to sow small seeds thinly enough to eliminate hand thinning, says W. B. Ward, Purdue extension horticulturist. Beet seeds, for example, are actually fruits containing several seeds.

If root crops are not thinned. mis-shapened roots will result, Ward points out. Easiest time to do the thinning job is when the plants are small and the soil is moist, the horticulturist says. Turnips should be thinned before their tap roots become fleshy. They need three inches between plants for best development.

Radishes, on the other hand, can be left in the ground until those that are to be thinned are large enough to eat unless they have been seeded very thickly. If this is the situation, thinning should be done early. Surplus beet plants can be pulled when they are four to five inches tall and used for greens. Beets should have three inches between plants. Carrots should be thinned early and allowed to stand one inch apart.

Later alternate carrots can be pulled and used. Lettuce, Swiss chard, endive, kohlrabi and similar crops also may need thinning. With lettuce, however, thinning at harvest will help produce high quality lettuce for a long time. CHECK HERALD ADS AM) SAVls mmm FRIGIDAIRE JUBILEE I I New 1959 9 cu. ft.
