1 It will be seen that fractional numbers are used under the operation manuring. These numbers 
indicate that onlv a part of the beet land was manured. For instance, Farm No. 1 in the Los Angeles 
district applied manure to four-tenths of the sugar-beet acreage. No. 3 treated one-tenth of the beet acreage 
with manure, while No. 4 covered two-tenths. Fractions occurring under other operations should be 
interpreted in the same manner.
