SACCHARINE CONTENT OF SUGAR BEETS 
There is a decrease in figure 2 of 35 X .00274 or .0959 percent 
sugar for each increase of 35 grams in weight. As the weight of roots 
in the remaining figures (3-6) is expressed in ounces, the regression in

Fig. 4. Relationship between percentage of sugar in the beet and weight of 
root. (To accompany table II, group h.) 
percentage of sugar for each unit of weight is somewhat larger than in 
figure 2 as may be seen in the second member of their respective 
equations.
