Culture of mangels. Lane?.—Mangels may be grown on almost any soil. Deep loams are considered best, and are necessary for the production of heavy yields of the long varie- ties. The globes and tankards may be grown on the shallower and lighter soils. Deep fall-plowing is advisable to ensure a compact subsurface. Thorough fitting of the surface soil should be given Seed and seeding.—Six to eight pounds of good seed will be ample, but frequently ten pounds, and, in the case of sugar-beets, twelve to fifteen pounds, are sown. These may be sown about three-fourths.
