CANNING BEETs BEST WAY
TO KEEP FOR WINTER USE.

Many vegetables may be had during
the cold months In the fresh state II
properly stored. but IL Is not infrequent
~ the ease that the varieties which
keep well are OF rather inferior quail
ity. Then too some vegetables grown
for storage attain large size and are
put away at a time after they have
passed the stage of growth AZ which
they are most pRlatable. Such u yege-
table Is the beet, and In order TO get
the most satisfaction out OF this pop
ular root IL is necessary to resort 20 the
canning process
Although beets for canning may be
grown at any time during the growth
season, since the operation OF prcsery-
ing can be done nj any time, it Is new
ertheless true that this vegetable
thrtyes best during the cool spring
months The size beet 10 he preferred
for canning Is one ranging from one
inch 70 one and three quarters in d.
ameter Those coming IN this class
would be packed as fancy, while those
exceeding this limit would constitute
a standard pack or grade Quality, not
sizc. IL the character 10 bo desired In
canned product and a quick uncheck-
ed period OF growth is one OF the es-
sential factors In obtaining this dcHlr
able condition.
To secure the quick growth. Il II
necessary that the garden should be
literally enriched For this purpose
nothing Ia better than well rottcd barn
manure. II the supply of such manure
Is limited IL may prontably be supple
mented by the use OF nitrate OF soda
scattered very thinly along the rows
(but not on the plants) and worked
into the ground with the neIt cultiya-
ton.
Beet seed should be sown rather
thickly in drills one foot apart In a
well prepared seed bed as soon as the
ground is workable in the spring
When the young seedlings become well
established they should be thlnned 90
about two inches between the plants.
About two ounces OF seed are required
TO SOW 100 feet OF drill Subsequent
treatment will consist chiefly In weed
ing and cultivating. and neither prac-
tice should be abandoned until the
beets are pulled.
The work OF cultivation can be done
with Hight garden hoe. but one ~ the
simple wheel hoes or light garden cui-
tivators viii make tho work quicker
and easier. Although cultivation Undue
es n rapid growth and results In the
best development of which the vege-
table is capable. one should not be mis-
led into the Idea that repeated cultiva-
don and good care alone can transform
An inferior variety into one OF superior
quality. Quality is largely matter Of
80 for this reason one should
judgment In his selection OF
varieties and choose only those posses
sing the character sought
The variety for canning should not
only be Of high quality but should also
be OF the dark red turnip shaped type
The lighter types are undesirable for
canning purposes. The following va
-ieties are OF known merit and can he
for canning; Detroit |
Dark Red. Edmond's Eariy Blood and |
Model Red Globe or Dark Stlnson. -nl-
