1 Refined sugar reduced to raw sugar at the ratio of 9 : 10. 
During the five-year period 1909-10 to 1913-14 the area planted 
to sugar beets varied considerably from year to year, and the fluctua- 
tions in yield were even greater; but on the average 1,245,797 acres 
were put into cultivation annually and more than 300 sugar factories 
worked up about 15,715,229 short tons of beets, producing 2,460,407 
short tons of raw sugar. In addition to the sugar made directly from 
beets, independent factories manufactured some 94,506 tons of sugar
