Billie was tvoundeo on June lst, i944, some- where in Italy.

Beets are nearly the first "egctables to show bad effects from acid soil. lt causes stunted growth, small roots. and too much red and yellow coloring in their leaves. lf your beefs showed these symp- toms last summer, be sure io spread lime or limestone screenings over your garden this spring. A soil test will indicate the exact amount of limestone which should be applied. Beets also suffer from crowding, after their roots have begun to swell. They always require thin- ning out, because each seed is really a cluster of seeds, and too many plants will always grow, too close together, no matter how thinly the seeds are sown. Germination docs not average as high as many other seeds, the federal standard bCirlE 65 pcr cent. It is usually advisable in sow seeds an inch apart. Let ihem grow until the tops are four or five inches tall, and the ronis have made small globes; then thin them so that the plants stand four inches apart.
