Besides these analyses, twelve others were made 
with special reference to the specific gravity of the juice 
as an index of the per cent, of sugar. In all cases 200 
grams of the beets were reduced to a pulp, and the wash¬ 
ings made up to 750 CC., with the following results:

These results are confirmatory of those of last year. 
During the past season seventy-three analyses of sugar 
beets were made. In many cases the yield per acre was 
not given, nor the kinds of beets raised, which detracts 
a great deal from the value of the analysis. We would 
ask, as a favor, those sending anything for analysis to give 
all the facts. For sugar beets, give the name, yield per 
acre in tons, time sown and time harvested ; also, the 
method of cultivation, the kind of soil and all other facts 
that will throw any light upon the subject. The average 
of the seventy-three analyses gives 11.56 per cent, of 
sugar, a coefficient of purity of 83.1 per cent. The yield 
per acre on the College garden was :

_27
