III. SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS RELATING TO SUGAR 



BEETS. 



A series of experiments was planned to be carried out on the 

 Station farm for testing certain questions' relating to sugar beets, 

 and the cooperation of Mr. F. E. Dawley was secured in dupli- 

 cating the work on his farm at Fayetteville. These experiments 

 were designed to study the following points: 



(1) Effect of different quantities of commercial plant-foods 

 upon yield and quality of sugar beets. 



(2) Effect of stable manure upon the yield and quality of sugar 

 beets. 



(3) Effect of growing sugar beets at different distances apart 

 in the row upon their yield and quality. 



In addition to this work, the Station raised beets from special 

 varieties of seeds at the request of, and in cooperation with, Dr. 

 H. W. Wiley, Chief of Division of Chemistry, United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture.
