Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 182, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1911 — Rutabagas. [ARTICLE]

Rutabagas.

For one located near the right kind of a market, rutabagas make a very profitable crop, especially if one has cows to use up the tops. One advantage it has is that, being a full crop, it occupies the ground but half the season, thus’giving opportunity to secure an early crop from the same land. Then, too, its growth and harvesting coming so late in the season gives profitable employment to farm labor when most other crops are out of the way.

In some markets there is a prejudice against home-grown rutabagas, 3nd the Nova Scotian product crowds them out.
