Beet Detroit Dark Red 
Mangel Wurzell or stock seer 
Splendid feed for cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, keeping stock and poultry 
in healthy condition throughout the winter months, when other green feeds are 
not readily available. Combined with grain it is worth almost as much, pound 
for pound, as grain as it aids digestion and assimilation. Do not feed whole to 
eattle. Roots should be shredded or sliced rather fine. 
Plant early in the spring about 2 weeks before the last frost; 5 to 8 pounds 
of seed per acre in rows 24 inches apart. Rather flat-lying fairly heavy soil, that 
has been well fertilized and plowed as deeply 
as possible is best. Thin to 12 to 15 inches apart 
when the plants are 4 to 6 inches tall. 
See page 3 for soil preparation and page 8 
concerning harvesting. 
Mangel Wurzels usually contain 5 to 7 per 
cent sugar and on good soil you should grow 25 
to 50 tons per acre.
