BEETS

be worked sow in drills 18’’ apart 
and press soil firmly over seed. 
Each ‘‘seed’’ is a fruit with several 
true seeds. No matter how thinly 
beets are sown, they will need 
thinning. Make three sowings, one 
early, one three weeks later and 
one 60 days before fall. When tops

until roots stand 6” apart.

FEEDING IMPROVES QUALITY AND YIELD! 
By feeding their vegetables adequate- 
ly, home gardeners can not only enjoy 
increased yields, and higher quality, 
but can reduce substantially the work 
involved in gardening. Expense of feed- 
ing plants remains practically at its 
prewar figure. 
To apply, stretch the line to mark 
the row in which seeds are to be 
planted, Then not less than two inches 
away on either side, make a furrow 
four inches deep. Pour plant food into 
each furrow at the rate of one pound 
(or pint) for 50 feet, and cover it with 
earth, Then make the drill in which 
seed are to be sown and proceed with 
planting as usual, 
The standard application of a bal- 
anced plant food for evenly distributed 
area coverage is 4 pounds per 100 
square feet (a space 10x10 feet square). 
You may figure one pound per pint, 
so an area 10 by 10 ft. requires two 
quarts. One quart will feed 50 square 
feet and one pint 25 square feet,
