SUGAR BEETS and MANGLES.
Use 4 to 6 pounds of seed to an acre.
Extensively grown in all parts of the country for feeding stock. Sow in April or May, in drills three feet apart, and thin to ten inches in the row. If your soil is deep and mellow, try the long varieties; if shallow, the round kinds will do better. No crop pays the Farmer or Stock Raiser better than the Mangles; 1,000 bushels to the acre is an ordinary yield, while with good culture 2,339 bushels have been grown to this amount of ground. It costs, counting labor, use of ground, and everything, less than $50 to raise an acre of Mangles and gather and store them. This for an ordinary yield, is a cost of only five cents per bushel.
