TABLE BEET 
CULTURE. Beets may be grown 
in any good soil, but they do 
best in rich sandy loam. Sow 
the seeds any time from Feb¬ 
ruary to October, one-half inch 
deep in well prepared moist soil, 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. 
Drill 6 pounds of seed to an 
acre. When the beets are 3 or 
4 inches high thin them out 1 
inch apart. Irrigate about every 
two weeks unless the nature of 
the soil is such that more fre¬ 
quent irrigation is necessary. 
Mulch the soil after each irri¬ 
gation. Beets are ready for use in ten weeks, and retains its prime condition for another 
ten weeks.
