Page 90 CURRIE BROTHERS CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS, MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET Sow early in spring in deep, rich soil, in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. 5 lbs. to the acre in drills 2 feet apart. Thin out to 9 inches apart in the row. For feeding stock, few crops equal Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Beets. Cana- dian farmers appear to appreciate this more than we do. The roots are stored in barns or pits before hard frost sets in and fed during the winter months. The Giant Half-Sugar Beets are much more productive than the Sugar Beets and fully equal to the best of them in feeding qualities. A large portion of the root being above ground renders them easy to handle. Every stockman should give them a trial. Mangel-Wurzel are also very nutritious and yield very heavy crops, often exceeding 1,500 bushels to the acre. It is not unusual to grow roots weighing upward of 20 lbs. each on fairly rich soil. Prepare the ground thoroughly, using a liberal supply of barnyard manure, previous to sowing the seed. IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED—The largest and heaviest cropper of all the Mangels.
