Very considerable fluctuations will be observed as to richness in sugar in the 

 same variety, due to conditions of season, etc., as obtaining at the several points of 

 gro-ffth. These conditions, as taken from the field notes of the several Superintendents, 

 may be briefly given and -n-ill be found of interest when making a study of the analy- 

 tical data : 



Charlottetown, P.E.I. — The soil is a friable, sandy loam, in good condition. The 

 season was favourable to a hea-vy yield, but the actual sunshine as recorded was, dur- 

 ing the ripening period, much below the average for a number, of years past. 



The results indicate a crop of fair quality only, due in part probably to lack of 

 sunshine when ripening and in part to the large size of the roots. The average per- 

 centage of sugar in juice for the three varieties is very close to that of 1912, but 

 decidedly lower than that obtained in 1911.
