Growing and Harvesting 
Stock Beet 
Pactically all of the High Milk Production Rec¬ 
ords in contests are made with Mangel Wurzel 
as part of the Ration, in some cases as high as 
100 lbs. daily being fed. 
Splendid feed tor cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, keeping stock and poultry 
in healthy condition throughout the winter months, when other green feeds are 
not readily available. Combined with grain it is worth almost as much, pound 
for pound, as grain as it aids digestion and assimilation. Do not feed whole 
to cattle. Roots should be shredded or sliced rather fine. 
Plant early in the spring about 2 weeks before the last frost; 5 to 8 pounds 
of seed per acre in rows 24 inches apart. Rather flat-lying fairly heavy soil, 
that has been well fertilized and plowed as deeply as possible is best. Thin to 
12 to 15 inches apart when the plants are 4 to 6 inches tall. Cultivate fre¬ 
quently and keep free of weeds. If you wish to begin feeding early in the fall 
pull 2 or 3 days supply at a time. Before freezing weather harvest the re¬ 
mainder of the crop and remove the tops but do not cut the top of the beets. 
Pile about a ton in a place and cover with 5 or 6 inches of earth, leaving a 
small place on top of the pile open except to cover with tops (this is for venti¬ 
lation). Later when cold weather comes cover all over with more earth to 
prevent freezing, or store in a cellar. 
Mangel Wurzels usually contain 5 to 7 per cent sugar and on good soil you 
should grow 25 to 50 tons per acre.
