1918-19. 



1,009 acres were harvested for 12,289 tons of beet, producing 1,263 tons of 

 sugar. The price of beets was 27s. 6d. per ton. Although the tonnage was 

 satisfactory, a dry spring and summer, followed by a wet autumn, was respon- 

 sible for an abnormally low sugar content, which very adversely influenced the 

 sugar yield and financial results.
