ENORMOUS YIELDS ROOT CROPS EXCELLENT FEED Root crops increase milk production and fatten stock. Especially well adapt- ed to Texas soils. When well grown, roots yield an immense amount of valu- aole feed. No larger tonnage per acre can be secured than that grown from the Stock Beet. In an extremely drouthy summer, a customer reports 13 wagon loads of roots from a little over an acre of Mangels. Grow in a most any soil but deep loams are necessary for heavy yields
