crops at Loveland raised under field conditions, than is found as the 
average of the whole state, for the crops grown in competition for 
the sugar beet prizes. 
This shipment of beets is one of the best ever made where the 
crop came from so many different farms, and shows conclusively 
that Colorado soil and climate are wonderfully adapted to the sugar 
beet. 
In this connection, it seems proper to add the records of some 
shipments of sugar beets made in 1893 and 1894 from Grand 
Junction and vicinity to the sugar factory at Lehi, Utah :

SUGAR BEETS AT GRAND JUNCTION, 
The bulletins of the Agricultural College contain nearly all of 
the analyses that have ever been made of Colorado sugar beets. In 
order to make the record complete, it is deemed best to insert here 
two sets of analyses made in the years 1893 and 1894 of beets 
raised in the valleys of the Grand and the Gunnison. 
The seed was furnished by the Utah Sugar company of Lehi, 
Utah, the samples of the beets were taken with the greatest care by 
men sent out for that special purpose, and the analyses were all 
made at the sugar factory at Lehi. The first table gives the results 
of the season of 1893:
