A POOR BEET, 



Of large size and great tonnage per acre, but 

 deficient in sugar, containing much woody 

 fiber, improperly topped, and highly undesirable 

 for factory purposes. Such beets weigh 4 to 6 

 Ibs. and contain 5 to 8% sugar. 



A GOOD BEET. 



This beet is not quite so fine a type as that 

 shown on Page 32, but it is rich in sugar, 

 containing 13 to 16% or more, weighs l l / 2 to 2 

 lbs.it is properly topped, and is just what the 

 sugar factory wants.
