The yield per ton of the Californiji beets is most gratifying. 



Seven thonsand tons of beet.^ were worked. The yield per ton on the 

 basis of the sugar already marke ed is 147 pounds. Allowing for the 

 estimate of Mr. Dyer that 251>,()00 pounds of sugar are yet to be sepa- 

 rated, the total yield reaches 18"J [)ounds per ton. 



These figures should prove of the greatest interest to the farmers of 

 the Pacific slope, for in then) they should see suggestions of greater 

 wealth than is found in their mines. 



SUGAR BEETS FROM OTHER LOCALITIES. 



I have had few opportunities of examining sugar beets, and give 

 below the analyses of all that have been sent to the Department. 



The beets analyzed in the following table were raised by Mr. William 

 Cartwright, of Oswego, ^. Y. Be planted a space of 4G,708 square feet 

 in beets, and the total yield was 36,000 pounds.
