Growing and 
Stock Beet 
Harvesting Practically all of the High Milk Production 
Records 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 for 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 fair¬ 
ly 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 frequently 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 remainder 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 ventilation). 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.
