GROWING AND HARVESTING STOCK BEET 
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 whh 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 
poimds of seed per acre in rows 24 inches apart. Rather flat-lying fairly* 
heavy soil, that has been well fertilized and plowed as deeply os possible is 
best. Thin to 12 to 15 inches opart 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^j-inchips 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.
