fall in the percentage of sugar. For instance, the low line of figures indicated during 

 the weeks from October 14 to 2.3 were probably caused by the heavy rains and accom- 

 panying cloudy weather of that period. The low percentage of sugar of the earlier 

 planted beets is evidence of reference made on page 1S8 to the statement that these 

 early planted beets were most affected by the leaf blight. It will be seen from this table 

 that the first week in November shows the highest percentage of sugar in the beets. 

 Departing from this date either way, shows a gradual decrease though weather condi- 

 tions modify somewhat this general statement. 



Armsby and Hesse in Pennsylvania Experiment Station Bulletin No. 47 found that, 

 ]•'!'.) samples harvested before November 1 yielded 11.48 per cent sugar, while 82 samples 

 harvested after November 1 averaged 13.18 per cent sugar.
