CLIBRANS’ SUGAR BEET. 
SOIL. — Most soils that produce good crops of cereals 
and other farm crops will grow Sugar Beet under proper 
culture. Good drainage is essential, and a moist soil 
is the best. 
SOWING. — Sow in dry weather from the beginning of 
April to the middle of May in drills not more than one 
inch deep. There is no advantage in sowing thinly, as 
from large roots far apart the production of sugar is 
less than if grown closer together ; 12 or 14 inches between 
the plants gives ample space.
