Sugar Beets are richer and sweeter than Mangels, but the latter will generally produce one-third to one-half heavier crops per acre, and hence are preferred by many farmers. The Sugar Beets are all white fleshed. Improved Wanzleben is the richest in sugar and nearly as pro- ductive as the Danish Sugar and Lane's Improved, which are so popular for stock leeding. Some of the Mangels, however, notably the Golden Tankard, have bright-yellow flesh, imparting a richer coloring to the milk. The soil should be deep, rich, and fine, and should be frequently and deeply worked throughout the season. Sow seed in slight ridges three feet , using four pounds of seed per acre; when sown, pass over the rows with a light roller to thoroughly pack the soil about the seed and insure proper germination. f\f Tyi r% t-i rrpl c The Globe varieties are the most easily harvested, as they grow largely above the sur- \J\ i'lcill^Cld. face, and the tap-root being quite blunt they are easily handled and stored. The Golden Giant Intermediate and Golden Tankard are larger in size, although less in diameter, and yield more heavily than the globe sorts.
