SUGAR BEETS 
6 pounds per acre in drills. 15 to 20 pounds per acre broadcast. 
Sugar Beets are not as heavy yielders as the Mangels but are of superior quality, containing a larg- 
er amount of sugar. They are excellent for feeding cows, improving wonderfully the quality and quan- 
tity of the milk. Sugar Beets require deep, well enriched soil. The seed should be sown in drills 2 to 
2% feet apart, and covered 1 to 1% inches deep, any time during April, May or June. Thin the plants 
carefully to stand 8 inches apart in the row.

Half Sugar and Half Mangel 
For Stock Feeding 
The ground should be thoroughly pre- 
pared and made firm and mellow, same as 
for Mangels. Seeding and _ cultivation 
should be continued in much the same 
manner except that they should be thinned 
out 6 to 8 inches in the row. The Giant 
Feeding Sugar Beets or Half Sugar Man- 
gels are especially valuable for feeding 
stock as they give a feed of much greater 
nutritive value than Mangels.

Sprouts are more tender and finer flavored than 
cabhage. Plant in hotbed then transplant to 
open ground. They are quite hardy and will 
form their best heads after frost. Cut out head 
of plant when sprouts have formed.
