Edmond’s Early Blood Turnip Beet. 
SUGAR BEETS 
CULTURE.—The soil for these should be 
plowed more deeply and the drills should 
be farther apart than for garden beets 
Sow in April or beginning of May in drills 
from 2 to 3 feet apart, and when 4 to 5 
inches high thin to 12 or 15 inches in the 
row. As soon as frost comes dig up the 
roots, cut off and then pile 5 to 6 feet deep 
on a raised and sloping situation and cover 
at frost with straw or hay and one inch of 
earth. As it gets colder, increase to 5 or 
6 inches of earth: by so doing all danger 
of heating is obviated, and the roots keep 
until next summer. Four or five pounds 
are sown to the acre. Sugar beets are also 
used for stock feeding, and while not as 
large as the Mangels, they have a higher 
percentage of sugar.
