Final Results of the 1921 Domestic 

 Beet Crop 



We print below the final figures of the 

 1921 domestic beet crop showing a total 

 production of 911,151 long tons, compared 

 to 973,233 tons in 1920, which was the 

 greatest crop of beet sugar ever produced 

 in the United States. The figures are those 

 of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. 



; The decrease of 62,082 tons was almost 

 entirely due to a decrease of 56,688 acres 

 in the area grown. Although 1920 was an 

 exceptionally favorable season, 1921 was 

 ;not far behind it. 



i The average yield of beets per acre was 

 19.10 tons for the whole United States com- 

 ■ pared to 9.17 tons last year, and of sugar 

 extracted from the beets 13.76 per cent 

 against 13.63 per cent. 



A marked improvement took place in 

 the loss in the stored roots, which equalled 

 about 337,000 tons against 480,000 tons, 

 or 4 per cent against 6^4 per cent of the 

 beets paid for. The average price paid for 

 ; beets was $6.32 per ton of 2,000 pounds 

 compared to $11.63 in 1920. The average 

 : length of campaign was 76 days against 91 

 days last year. 



Prospects for the coming year are fairly 

 I bright. In spite of still lower prices for 

 beets, most of the companies have reported 

 securing full acreage.
