RED BEETS 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill and should yield 100 Ibs. or more 
of ia Allow 5 to 6 pounds of seed per acre. Ready in from 8 to 11 
weeks. 

THEY ARE EASY TO GROW and pay well for the space they occupy. 
Seed may be sown a half-inch deep at two-week intervals from early spring to 
mid-July. The ground should be spaded well and deep, placing rows about 
12 inches apart. Cover the seed carefully and firm in the ground by walking 
over the drills. When seedlings appear about 3 inches above ground, thin out 
to about 4 inches between the plants so as to give ample room for the proper 
development of the roots. Thinnings make excellent boiled greens. Beets are 
best for pulling when about 2 inches in size. 
_ A few seeds of Radish sown in with the Beets will come through first, mark- 
ing clearly the row and showing you where to start hoeing. Pull Radishes 
when they are mature; your crop of Beets will not be reduced by this two-kinds- 
in-one-row scheme. 
_ Beets may be kept for winter use in boxes of sand in a cool cellar, or m a 
pit outdoors. Or they may be preserved or pickled. 

Beets are nourishing and are an excellent source of copper. The tops or 
greens are especially valuable, supplying vitamins A, Bi, C and G, along with 
calctum and iron.
