the quality of the beets grown on the fertilized half of the 

 field as compared with the results for either of the plats 

 which received no fertilizer, the average sugar content of 

 the beets on the unfertilized plats being 16.9 per cent 

 and on the fertilized plats 17.3 per cent; the average 

 purity on the unfertilized plats being 89.1 and on the fer- 

 tilized plat 90.2. Through the application of fertilizers the 

 yield of beets was increased by 41.9 per cent and the yield 

 of sugar per acre was increased by 47.3 per cent over the 

 corresponding figures of the unfertilized plats."
