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. Canadian 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.
