HOW TO GROW THEM. Sow 
the seed as soon as the ground 
can be properly worked. Make 
the rows 12 inches apart for hand 
cultivation; cover the seed 1 inch; thin out the plants to 
stand 3 to 4 inches in the row; cultivate often; keep clean 
of weeds. Successive plantings may be made every 3 
weeks until August 1. You will have Beets all summer, 
with the last crop for winter use. At this last planting put 
out all you can to provide for your own use, for canning, 
and for selling all winter. This is one of the important 
crops so necessary to provide for winter vegetables. Beets 
require just 50 days from planting of the seed to harvest 
for early varieties and from 60 to 70 and 80 days for the 
later varieties. One ounce will sow a row of 50 feet; 5 to 
6 pounds to the acre. Prices are no higher than last year.
