fertilizer for sugar beets but our experiments do not indicate tliat the 

 sulfate is superior in any way to the muriate. This fact is important 

 because the muriate of potash can usually be secured at a price 

 materially less than the price asked for the sulfate of potash. Where 

 nitrate of soda is used as a fertilizer for sugar beets it should be used 

 in conjunction with the mineral fertilizers superphosphate and 

 potash. Muriate of potash may safely be used as a fertilizer for 

 sugar beets. The other chemicals used seem not to have any 

 marked effect upon the quality of the beets.
