This .iverajiP of snerose, while not a« hifjli as wo could desire, is very fair, and 

 cxr-eeds that of Germany last season, which was estimated at 12. .'v» per cent. Two 

 of the factors quite prominent in lowerinj; this averajje of snerose percentape are, 

 lack of proper lulf ivalion. )ir>nnittinp the ])eets to prow too larpe, and the raising 

 of lu-ets on stronji alkali soils.
