FIELD CORN—HICKORY KING 
Stock or Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Beets 
The mangel-wurzel, also called mangel, cattle beet and 
field beet, may be grown in almost any soil, but deep loams 
are necessary for heavy yields of long varieties. When well 
grown the roots give an immense yield of very nutritious food 
for stock during the Winter months, in connection with grain 
and dried forage. Sugar beets are richer and sweeter than 
mangels, but do not produce as heavily. Plant early in the 
Spring in drills eighteen to thirty inches apart, dropping seeds 
about one inch apart in the row, covering with about one and 
one-half inches of soil firmly pressed down. When about three 
inches high begin thinning so that the roots stand about ten 
inches apart in the row. Six to ten pounds of seed are re¬ 
quired per acre.
