BEETS 
One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 
6 pounds for an acre 
Best results are obtained by using a light soil that has been well enriched with manure. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, 
as soon as the ground is in workable condition, and for succession every two weeks until August. When the plants are well advanced thin out 
to 4 or 5 inches apart. A liberal sowing should always be made during July for a winter crop.
