CULTURE, — The soil best suited for Beet culture is that which is rather light and well enriched. Sow in drills 1 foot apart 

 and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked ; when the plants are large enough thin out to stand 6 inches apart in rows; 

 ■continue for a succession as late as the middle of July. Keep well cultivated. 



One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill ; 5 to 6 pounds for an acre.
