BEET 
Beets are of easy culture and one of the most 
useful and profitable crops grown. The seed is 
enclosed in a hard shell and in dry soil is often slow 
to germinate. Soaking in warm water over night 
before sowing will help germination. For early use 
sow^ as early as the ground can be worked, in drills 
14 inches apart, and for a succession at intervals 
until the first week in July. They succeed best in 
a firm light soil, well enriched. Beet tops are a 
very desirable table vegetable cooked as greens. 
Sow to 1 inch deep and thin to 4 inches. Treat¬ 
ment with Red Copper Oxide is^ recommended for 
prevention of damping off.
