How to Grow Root Crops—The Vegetables for Health and Energy.

By W. R. BEATTIE Extension Horticulturist. United States Department of Agriculture. CHILDREN are told to eat carrots if they want color in their cheeks, and beets to be strong and able to romp and play. Just how much there is to this is hard to say, but all the root crops are rich in vitamines and the elements that aid digestion. Carrots are rich in the coloring matter known as “carrotin,” which is j also present in grees grass, and gives the rich color to the cow's milk dur- j ing the early summer. Radishes are effective for warding off scurvy and similar disorders, and are eaten more 1 as a salad than a true vegetable. Root crops such as carrots, beets, parsnips and salsify yield large quan-! tities of actual food from a small space of ground, and for this reason i are adapted for growing in the small garden. Parsnips may be grown as i

! (in early spring crop in the South and used before the extremely hot weather !of summer. In the North parsnips require the entire growing season, ! for their development and may be ; left in the ground during the winter j and to a certain degree improve with freezing. Rich Soil Necessary The essentials for growing root i crops are a deep, rich, well-drained soil, good seed, proper thinning and ! frequent shallow cultivation. None of the root crops, with the possible exception of beets, can be transplanted successfully, as the breaking of the tap root in transplanting causes them to grow rough and distorted. The proper method is to spade and pulverize theysoil eight to ten inches deep, working fine fertilized to the full depth of spading, then sow the seeds where they are to grow and thin out the plants so that every plant left has room to develop. In 1 the case of beets what appears to be j

a seed is really a seed “ball,” containing one to three seeds, consequently beets usually come so much thicker than the gardener expects. Carrot and parsnip seeds lose their vitality or power to grow very quickly and? seed of last year's production should always be used. Rake Soil Smooth When it comes to planting the j beets, carrots and other root crops 1 the soil, which has been spaded and j fertilized, should be raked smooth. ! and the little rows or furrows formed by means of the hoe-handle or a rounded stick drawn along a tight line. The distance between rows may be about s eighteen inches for beets and carrots, and at least twenty-four inches for parsnips and salsify. The seeds should not be covered more than one inch deep on sandy land and less on heavy soils, and the soil used for covering them should always be fine and mellow. If the soil is In the least dry it should be firmed over the seeds by layirg a board on top of the row after the seeds are covered, then walking or. the board. Thinning the plants is the important part in growing all root crops. Carrots should be thinned twice, the first time to about one and one-half j inches and later when the roots are large enough for use as '‘baby” carrots every other one can be removed. The same plan may be followed in thinning beets, the thinnings being used as greens and as small table beets cooked and buttered. Parsnips and salsify should be thinned to an even stand of three to four inches at one thinning. After
