BEETS 



One Ounce of Seed Will Sow One Hundred Feet of Drill 



J 



Select a deep, rich sandy loam and manure with well decomposed compost or a good chemical fertilizer. Sow in drills, 14 to 16 

 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.

MANGEL WURZEL 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 2J4 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 generously, and will show the results in the health and condition of the stock. 

 It supplies good, rich food for cattle during the winter.
