EXPERIMENTS WITH SUGAR BEETS. 



Eight varieties of sugar beets were tested in 1902. These were sown side by side 

 on land adjoining the turnips and mangels. The land was similar in character and its 

 ti'eatment and preparation wei^e the same. The drills were made up two feet apart and 

 rolled with a heavy land roller to make a firm bed before the seed was sown. Two sow- 

 ings were made of each sort the first on May 12 the second on May 26. They were 

 also pulled on two different dates, the first pulling was on October 14, the second on 

 October 28. The yield per acre has been calculated from the weight of roots gathered 

 from one row 66 feet long.
