During the month from the latter part of September to the last 
of October the beets improved about two per cent in sugar and nearly 
ten per cent in purity. The shipments of carload lots were not 
made until late in November, and the beets of those that shipped 
had made by that time a still farther gain of one per cent in sugar. 
The above crops represent all kinds of soil from one end of 
Grand valley to the other. 
This was the first season that these farmers had raised sugar 
beets, and the general tendency was to give too much water and too 
little cultivation. Some of the fields had one cultivation, a smaller 
number were cultivated twice, and most of them had no cultivation
