The soil is fairly uniform on the two plats, and was given 

 the same preparation. The variety of beets grown was the 

 Kleinwanzlebener. The following table shows the number of 

 cultures given the various areas and their results : 



Following table shows the results obtained from a duplicate of 

 the above experiment.

 Average yield per acre from 4 cultures, 18.8 tons. 



The data given above are from experiments which are too lim-

 in this experiment five cultures resulted in the largest yield yet 

 it would be erroneous to draw the conclusion that five cultures
