Huron' County Turnip Growers
of the Dougherty precision 't nr=
nip planter which has been• a
boon to growers throughout the
province. *.
Many of us Wild are familiar
with local activities .,do not see
these activities as they are seen
by the •syes,of an impartial ob-
server. While` we all know Jack
and• Bob Hunter `are good farm
ers, this column -takes pleasure.
in bringing to you: an excerpt
from( the Farmer's Magazine
which illustrates their turnip ac-
tivities as ,seen by an ,agricultur-
al magazine,
"John and Harold Hunter are
brothers who farm 115;4 acres to-
gether near Exeter, Ont. They
like to have eight or nine acres
in turnips every year' and like to
plant the turnips after clover sod,
or sometimes wheat stubble, has,
been plowed in the fall. "But we
never come back with turnips ,on
the same land inside of ,four
years. We like to plant in the
s.,p•ing "after clover_ or wheat (be-
cause that way you can .get a
good part of cultivation, the
weed -killing, done in the fall".
Harold Hunter says: "We prefer
sowing turnips after clover sod
is plowed in the fall although
you may sonietianes have a little
more worm injury that way".
In the •spring, the Hunter
'brothers prepare a fine seedbed
.for ••their turnips, then put on
400 • to 500 pounds !per acre of a
high potash fertilizer like 2--1240
with a little nitrate of potash In
it. They use a p1ecision seeder
With seed spaced qne inch apart
in 23 -inch rows, 1Sowing is done
all -through June to !cafe market-
able turnips at ' different times
through the fall "but We' don't
recommend seeding in,. May Abe-.
'chus'e you get flea bettle damage
and woody turnips", 'Harold says.
..Atter seeding they don't do a lot
of cultivating --"we try to get the
weeds killed before'seeding"abut
usti5lly cultivate once, .then• hoe
and, thin, then cultivate once
more.
To insure Against water core,
the Hunter .brothers apply • 15
pounds of ,borax to the acre, us-
tially as -a spray application, al-
though they sometimes dust.
• n the fall, ab •mach as possible
orthe turnip crop is sold direct
iotf.the field and the rest is stor-
ed in afield pit .through •the
winter. "fIt's important to 'pick
:a' dry spot in your field for the
pit", Harold says, "'Then dig'ctdwn
six or eight inches but not deep
enoigii to get water in the pit.
We make the pit about eight feet
wide ,and fairly high and well-
rounded," he adds.
The present .trend, as deter-
mined thy buyers'.. demand, is
towards smaller .turnips. 3t's
Importairt to so%v registered, sited
seed-..'tthey work better in a pre-
Cision' drill, too", they say,
They have been tiling 14-18'
sire 'seeds -and it's all of one
registered Laurentian variety,
The Hunters believe it's import-
ant to leave'the turnips thiek .in
the row by using a five-ihch hoe
and not spacing more than slx to
•eight inches. "And of course it'•s,
important to .have soil .tests taken
and to use high potash .fertiliz•'
er on tubal s", !Harold says,
