CURRIE’S BEETS 
CULTURE—Wrhere a variety and choice of soil is at com- 
mand, select that which is rather light for this crop. It must, 
however, be thoroughly enriched. As early in the spring 
as the ground can be properly cultivated, lay out the drills 
for the seed about a foot apart. Sow the seed thinly, covering 
to a depth of 1’’; when large enough to handle, thin out 
the plants to about 6” apart. The plants pulled up may 
easily be transplanted elsewhere, avoiding loss. 1 oz. to 100 
feet of drill, 7 lbs. to the acre in drills.
