Free Sugar Beet Seed, and Free
AnaLpSiS Of Sugar Bects.
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION,
MADISON, WIS, April IS, 1891

MADISON, WIS, April IS, 1891.
The subject of sugar beet culture is a
very important one at this time. If
Wisconsin can produce her own sugar
proftably, it should be done. Only
when we have learned what it costs to
grow crop of beets, the number of
tons that can be produced per acre, the
percentage of sugar contained IN the
Juice and its purity, can we intelligently
discuss the question of proitably pro-
ducIng sugar from the beet. To help on
this work we have procured a consider
able quantity of sugar beet seed from
Germany, and so long as the supply
lasts will send it in one pound packages
to all farmers in the state who send us
their names with postofice address,
enclosing S cents in stamps to pay
return postage. Directions for planting,
cultivating, etc, win be sent with the
seed Samples Of the beets may be sent
to this Station next fall, when they will
be analyzed free of charge. Farmers
are urged to form societies for the pur-
pose of cooperation and making greater
advancement in studying the subject.
w. A. HENRY. Director
