The beets on the left of the above plate are specimens showing beet scab, whichv 

 prevails in some places, while the right half of the cut shows some typical smooth 

 beets. It is interesting to note that the scabby beets in this instance grew on land 

 adjacent to that on which the smooth beets grew, except that where the scabby beets 

 were produced the ground for years had been used as a potato patch, thus indicating 

 very plainly that old potato patches are to be avoided for beet fields.
