Culture of Beets.—A plant soil is best adapted 
for beets, which should be broken toa depth of eigh- 
teen inches or more, as the crop is dependent on 
deep, rich soil. Draw shallow drills eighteen inches 
apart, sow seed thinly and cover lightly. When the 
plants attain several leaves thin them, leaving the 
best stand eight inches apart. Keep the soil loose 
about the roots, and destroy weeds. Sowas early in 
spring as the season admits; also in May and June.— 
Before frost take up the crop, cut off long leaves and 
pack the beets in sand.
