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. Cana- 

 dian 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 being above ground renders them easy to handle. Every stockman should 

 give them a trial. 



Mangel-Wurzel are also very nutritious and yield very heavy crops, often 

 exceeding 1,500 bushels to the acre. It is not unusual to grow roots weighing 

 upward of 20 lbs. each on fairly rich soil. 



Prepare the ground thoroughly, using a liberal supply of barnyard manure, 

 previous to sowing the seed.

 all the Mangels. The roots are often more than 2 feet long, and a half to two-
