This description of soil in some seasons is too wet to warrant the removal of a crop of Mangel Wurzel in November. When grown on such soils to be used early in the winter, the crop may be taken up in October; if intended for use in the cold spring months it may remain, with perfect safety, till the ground is sufficiently dry to prevent harm being done by the wheels of carts and the trampling of horses.—EDITOR. _Lincroft House, Lichfield. December 13, 1814._ SIR, I have for your information weighed and taken a pretty accurate account of my small crop of Mangel Wurzel, which I have lately gathered out of a garden belonging to my farm. The length of the garden is 62 yards; and the breadth of the part sown 12 yards, and the produce, according to my firm belief and best calculation, is 4 tons, 6 cwt. 40 pounds, and I am well convinced in my own mind, that had I properly attended to the culture of this root, I might have obtained a much greater produce, even in that space of ground; for, you will observe, I have not strictly adhered to the plan laid down in your little publication. In the first instance, the ground was very foul at the time of sowing, and the plants, when growing, were about 18 inches apart one way, and nearly one yard the other; there being only 13 rows in the space of 12 yards, and the garden too surrounded with trees, so that I consider every thing was unfavourable. I further beg leave to state as my opinion, that as the ground is very strong, it is not well adapted to the growth of Beet, and as most of the roots were transplanted, they had not a fair chance. Transplanted roots are seldom so good as those which have not been removed. I have given Beet Root, for two years past, both to feeding and milch cows with good effect. I am &c. J.
