Beets 
Well-enriched, light soil is best adapted for Beet culture. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover 34 inch. It is important 
that the earth be pressed firmly about the seed. When the plants are large enough, thin to 4 inches apart. The thin¬ 
nings can be used for greens, if desired. For early, sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and continue for succession 
until the first of July. Mangels and Sugar Beets require liberal manuring and should stand 10 to 12 inches apart in the 
rows. 
One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill, 5 to 6 pounds to one acre.
