BEETS 



One Ounce of Seed Will Sow One Hundred Feet of Drill 



Select a deep, rich sandy loam and manure with well decomposed compost or a good chemical fertilizer. Sow in drills, 14 

 to 1C inches apart, and cover 1 inch deep. When the young plants appear, thin to 4 or 5 inches apart. For early use, sow as 

 soon as the ground can be worked in the spring; for autumn use, about the middle of May, and for winter use, during 

 June or July, according to the variety — the long varieties requiring more time to mature than the round, early kinds.

Beets for Stock 



SOW 4 POUNDS TO THE ACRE. 



Stock Beets grow larger than any other Beets, and hence 

 require more room. They should be sown from April to 

 June, in drills 2% feet apart, and the plants thinned to 12 

 to 15 inches in the row. The attention of farmers to the 

 growing of Beets for stock feeding has rapidly increased, 

 but it should be grown more generally, and will show the 

 results in the health and condition of the stock. It supplies 

 good, rich food for cattle during the winter.
