HOW TO PIiANT — The soil should be rich and deeply plowed, 
say 8 to 10 inches. Sow in rows from 14 to 20 Inches apart and 
about 1 to inches deep. About C pounds of seed to the 
acre for garden or stock feed and for sugar about 20 pounds 
of seed to the acre. As soon as the plants have the fifth and 
sixth leaf thin to one plant each 8 inches. If under irrigation, 
water as 'soon as thinned. Cultivate often and do not water 
again until absolutely necessary, as the soil will dry from the 
surface down and the tap roots will follow. Careful tests 
have proven that one cultivation a week will give the best re- 
sults. Keep clean and remember that cultivation is the ne.\t 
thing necessary after the best seeds and the two are necessary 
for success. 
(One ounce to 100 feet of drill, 5 to 6 lbs., per acre.)
