Mangel-Wurzel 



AND Sugar Beet 



Sow early in spring in deep, rich soil, 

 in rows 18 to 24 Inches apart. 



5 lbs. to the acre in drills 2 feet apart. 

 Thin out to 9 inches apart in the row. 



For feeding- stock few crops equal 

 Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Beets. Can- 

 adian farmers appear to appreciate this 

 more than we do. The roots are stored In 

 barns or pits before hard frost sets in and 

 fed during the winter months. 



The Giant Half-Sugar Beets are much 

 more productive than the Sugar Beets and 

 fully equal to the best of them in feeding 

 qualities. A large portion of the root be- 

 ing above ground renders them easy to 

 handle. Every stockman should give them 

 a trial. 



Mangel-Wurzel are also very nutri- 

 tious and yield very heavy crops, often 

 exceeding 1,500 bushels to the acre. It Is 

 not unusual to gro^w roots weighing up- 

 wards of 20 lbs. each on fairly rich soil. 



Prepare the ground thoroughly, using 

 a liberal supply of barnyard manure, pre- 

 vious to sowing the seed. 



Oar Mangel-TN'nrzel seed la all 

 gro-mi In England from carefully se- 

 lected roots, and much better resnlts 

 are obtained from It then from the 

 ordinary Continental stocks.
