Five or six pounds will sow one acre. The seed should be planted in rows two feet apart and 
thinned to eight inches in the rows. To obtain the best results from this crop, use deep soil, well 
plowed; if the soil is thin, a liberal application of an honest chemical fertilizer is necessary. The value 
of beets for stock feeding cannot be overestimated. The results from their use are clearly shown in 
the improved breadth and condition of animals, the increased yield of milk in cows, and the great 
saving of hay. They can be raised at a very trifling cost, and yield immensely.
