the flocks or herds can be stepped up by feeding

SUGAR BEETS 
Profitable for syrup, also for dairy cows 
and poultry. For cattle feed the beets 
should be chopped or ground up so that 
the pieces are not larger than 1-inch 
square. Easy to store in pits for winter 
use with straw or dirt cover. For making 
syrup a bulletin sent out free on request 
by U. S. Dept, of Agriculture will give 
you complete directions. 
C202 Klein Wanzleben dlys> 
Long, slender roots, heavy producer, and 
rich in sugar contents, very valuable for 
syrup and sugar production, also for feed.

C206 Lane's Imperial i 8 r ° 0 ws y S 
a large size, yielding almost as much as 
Mangel Beets, and are rich in sugar 
Roots smooth, broad at the shoulder, and 
gradually tapered to the base. For feed¬ 
ing I would prefer this variety, while for 
syrup or sugar production Klein Wanzle¬ 
ben would most likely be a little better.

MANGEL BEETS 
Produces enormous crops of beets per 
acre, and they can be stored in pits or 
caves for winter use. Egg and milk 
production during the winter is greatly 
increased if the animals receive some 
fresh feed. Mangel Beets are most profit¬ 
ably used in dairies and poultry ranges. 
Try them, you will increase your income, 
and you will be keeping your animals in 
good shape.

highest feed value. Oz., 5c; i/ 4 lb., 15c:

C200 Mammoth Long Red 
(110 days) The latest variety I have, and 
the largest; beets being of enormous size. 
Of this Mangel Beet you can count on a 
greater production of feed per acre than 
of any other crop that grows, and the 
beets keep well in pits. Oz., 8c; Va. b., 20c; 
lb., 70c; postpaid. 
Cl98 Giant Half Sugar ^ ays) 5 
Extra sweet, and large, of special high 
feed value for poultry and dairy use. On 
heavy soil I prefer this variety, as it 
grows shallow and is easy to harvest. 
Oz., 5c; >4 lb., 15c; lb., 50c; postpaid. 
MANGEL and SUGAR BEETS 
are grown in rows, the rows 3 ft. apart, 
As soon as the plants are 3 to 4 inches 
high thin them out to stand 
10 to 12 inches apart in the 
row. Sow when most danger 
of frost is over. Occasional 
cultivation to 
keep soil loose 
and free from 
weeds is very 
beneficial to the 
beets.
