Detroit Dark Red Beet 
Mangel-Wurzel and 
Sugar Beet 
These beets, which have for a long 
time been grown abroad by stock 
raisers and dairymen, can be used to 
advantage in place of some of the more 
expensive mill feeds, and should be 
planted more extensively than they are. 
For poultry they furnish a valuable 
winter feed, much relished by the hens. 
From ten to fifteen tons can be raised 
on one acre. 
Sow in May or June—5 pounds per 
acre.
