Ger. Rube. Scand. Rodebede. 
HOW TO PLANT- The soil should be rich and deeply 
plowed, say 8 to 10 inches. Sow in rows from 14 lo 20 
inches apart and about 1 to 1% inches deep. About 6 
pounds of seed to the acre for garden or stock feed and 
for sugar about 20 pounds of seed lo the acre. .\s soon as 
the plants have the fifth and sixth leaf, thin to one plant 
oach 8 inches. If under irrigation, wal(!r as soon as 
I binned. 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 » week will give the best re- 
sults. Keep clean and remember that cultivation is the 
next thing necessary after the best seeds and the two are 
necessary for success.
