The numbers in the left hand column of these tables correspond 

 with those of the left hand column of Table I, and are given to 

 enable the reader to determine in what part of the State the differ- 

 ent varieties were grown. 



It will be noticed that there was less difference in the per cent. 

 of sugar in the beets from the different soils than there was from 

 the different varieties of beets. The average per cent, of sugar 

 of the varieties grown on clay soil was lower than the average of 

 the varieties grown on other soils. That from clay soil being 

 12.54 while the average percentage of sugar from sandy loam and 

 clay loam were 12.60 and 13.08 respectively. It is true that the 

 number of trials, on the different kinds of soil were not sufficient 

 to make this comparison of great value, yet we cannot pass it by 

 as unworthy of notice.
