CULTURE OF THE SUGAK BEET. 



39 



As before stated, the number of stations in France for which we were 

 able to obtain averages or to find data sufficient to calculate averages 

 from are very limited, yet the figures we present will serve to show the 

 coincidence of the conditions in the sections in which the culture has 

 been so long established, and these and the other records of the table, 

 taken in connection with the map showing the location of the culture of 

 the beet, will form a subject of interesting study, and are of value for 

 comparison in the selection of sections of other countries that will be 

 suitable, so far as the meteorological conditions are concerned, for the 

 introduction of the industry with chances of success and profit.
