The varying figures from these seventeen plots show the in- 

 fluence of soil, seed, and cultural methods upon beets produced in 

 the same neighborhood, and will be discussed in a final bulletin 

 on the subject. 



The average result, — 13.48 per cent of sugar in beets, 8 1.9 pur- 

 ity and 19.3 tons per acre, amounts to 521 1 pounds of sugar per 

 acre in a satisfactory condition of purity. This is above the aver- 

 age for the United States at large ; but, so far as quality is con- 

 cerned, is of course below the extraordinary crop which, after 

 three years' drouth, has just been harvested in California.
