EXPEKIME]S"TS WITH SUGAE-BEETS. 



Four varieties of sugar-beets were sown during 1893 on land adjoining that on 

 which the mangels were sown. The treatment of the soil and its preparation will 

 be found under the heading of turnips. There were two series of plots : one was 

 sown on Ist June, the second on 9th June, and both were pulled 25th October, The 

 seed was sown on the flat, in rows 18 inches apart and the yield per acre has been 

 calculated from the weight of roots obtained from two rows each 33 feet long and 18 

 inches apart.
