§ 23. The results of 1897, given on p. 13, Bulletin 46, and 
those of 1898 and 1899, given in the two preceding tables, but more 
especially the results of 1897 and 1898, because these are compared 
with beets grown on ground free from alkali and in good tilth, 
leave no doubt about the effect of alkali upon the quantity of sugar 
developed in beets grown on soils abounding in these salts; i. e., 
they are not detrimental so far as the sugar and the coefficient of 
purity are concerned, nor does it effect the time of maturing.
