Giant Long Red Mangel-Wurzel Beets
The pile of Mangel-Wurzel shown above grew on one square rod of ground. They were dug before the crop was matured. They averaged over 83 tons per acre. Later another square rod from the same field was harvested and weighed in the presence of two members of the Rotary Club of Nampa, Idaho, and the wonderful average yield of 96 tons 550 pounds per acre was made. These were grown from my seed by J.S. Hulbert of Nampa, Idaho. At the present price of corn and hay, this crop produced actual feed value worth more than $500.00 per acre. They contain 5 to 7 percent sugar and have high feeding value for dairy cows., fattening cattle, hogs, sheep, and poultry. On good soil you should grow 25 to 30 tons per acre. Price (5c per oz.) (15c per ¼ lb.) (50c per lb.) prepaid. By freight or express (10 lb lots, 40c per lb.) Wholesale price ($30.00 per 100 lbs).
