It will be noticed that the principal difference in the analyses 
of the two sets of samples is in the purity. The sugar in the beet 
improves about half a per cent, while the purity decreases nearly 
three per cent. The average analysis of these six varieties is almost 
exactly the same as of the Kleinwanzlebener beets we raised for our 
other tests on both sides of them. 
Tests of several other varieties were made on the College farm 
in connection with the general test of European as compared with 
American grown seed. The results will be reported with the figures 
obtained on the same test throughout the state. 
11. Number of Irrigations. 
A plot of beets at the Rocky Ford substation was divided into 
three sections; the first received no irrigation during the season ; 
the second was irrigated once, while the third was given four irriga- 
tions. The results are given in the following table :
