Center—plant from mixed plant- ing of vetch and rye following cow peas turned under. Right— plant from mixed planting of vetch and rye following corn. ROOT CROPS Enormous Yields—- Excellent Feed Root crops increase milk production and fatten stock. Especially well adapted to Texas soils. Roots yield an immense amount of valuable feed. No larger tonnage per acre can be secured than that grown from the Stock Beet. In an extremely drouthy sum- mer, a customer reported 13 wagon loads from a little over an acre of Mangels. Grow in almost any soil but deep loams are necessary for heavy yields of the long variety. MANGEL WURZEL BEETS CULTURE—Plow your land deep and prepare thoroughly. Plant early in the spring- in rows 1% to 3 feet apart and cover the seed about 1 inch. Cutivate frequently. When about three inches high, begin thinning- and continue at intervals until the roots stand from 8 to 12 inches apart In the rows. Use an ounce to 100 feet or from 3 to 6 pounds per acre. Mammoth Long Red — Roots are very large, uniformly straight and well form- ed. Flesh is white, tinged with rose. This variety is preferred by hog raisers be- cause of its enormous tonnage. It yields a greater tonnage per acre than other varieties but the sugar content is lower. Keeps well and is very nutritious. Mangel Wurzels. Giant Half Sugar—Another very good va- riety. It yields a large crop of roots high in sugar yield. The roots are light bronze above the ground and grayish white be- low with white flesh. This beet, growing largely out of the ground, can be har- vested earlier than any other mangel crop. Good either for the dairyman or the hog raiser. Sludstrup—Highe
