Owing to lack Of knowledge as to
proper time to harvest, most Of the
DeetS were pulled too early and all
the samples in first lot sent for anal
ySiS were unripe, so that no satisfac-
tory analysis could be obtained and
are not included in above list. Sew
eral Of the samples in the second lot
were also unripe, but for this the av-
erage would have run higher.
The results obtained, however, are
very satisfactory, especially when we
consider that the industry is new and
that our farmers had no experience
in handling the crop. The average
percentage Of sugar in the above
named samples is 40 per cent. greater
than it was when the industry first
started in Germany, and is not much
lower than the average there is now.
The state agricultural society last
year offered small prorata premiums
for the best Is samples of sugar beets
raised in the state, and now has in
press report showing results of the
test. The secretary of the association
has kindly furnished your committee
with proof sheet of this report, which
is attached hereto. A comparison of
this report with report of analysis OF
our beetS is very complimentary TIC

that $50 samples were received by the
state chemist from all parts of the
state, from these, Is premiums were
awarded.
We sent in Il samples and out Of
the p four tested high enough tC
have earned some of the 10 state pre-
miums, had they been entered in com
petition for them, or to put it in an
other way only 3 $40 per cent. of those
entered for state premiums were
awarded them while 10 per cent. of oul
samples tested high enough to have
earned state premiums and one of oul
samples tested III per cent. of sugar
being exactly the same as the highest
Of the $50 entered for state premium
The state fair associations repor
in commenting on the results, state
that the season was an unusually un
, favorable one, but that the result!
were as conclusive of the fact tina

WASHINGTON A DANDY,
a Letter OF INSTRUCTION to His Tailor
100 Gears AGO.

A Letter Of INSTRUCTION to His Tailor
l3OZears Ago.
Here is a letter written by George
Washington to his tailor in London.
He seems tohave been somewhat of a.
dandy: -. .. .,.
. "V1KG1SlA, 26th, April, 17e3.-Mr.
Lawrence. be pleased to send me a
genteele suite OF cloaths, made of su-
pertine broad cloth, handsomely
chosen;-I should have inclosed you
my measure: but, in general way,
they are SO badly taken here, that
am convinced it would be of little
service; I would have you, therefore,
take measure of a gentleman who
wears we'll made cloaths of the follow
ing size, so wit: Six feet high, and
proportionately made; if anything,
rather slender than thick for a person
OF that highth, with pretty long arms
and thighs. You will take care to
make the breeches longer than those
you sent last, and would have YOU
keep the measure OF the cloaths you
now make by you, and if any altera-
ton Is required in my next, it shall be
pointed out. Mr. Carp WILL pay your
bill. | am, sir, your very obedient
humble servant, ...-
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Note For your further government and
knowledge of my size, I have sent the in

END 10 No. and No. 8 is We size over We
breast and We hips. No. 2, over the belly,
and No. round We ARM and from We
breaches end. To No. a, is for waistband;
D, thick or the hip; c, upper button hole; d,
knee band; e, for length of breeches.
Therefore, if you take measure of q per-
son about six feet high of this bigness. I
think you can't go amiss; you must take
notice that the, inclosed is the exact size,
Without any allowance tor seams, etc.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
ITO Mr.. Charles Lawrence,
Taylor, in old Fish street, London"
AS Washington was 81 in 1853, his
height, as he states it, viz, 6 feet, is
apparently at variance with the popu-
lar belief that he was SIX feet inches;
but it may be that some popularity,
either Of his length of limb or his
body, caused him to tell his tailor to
measure a gentleman of only 6 feet,
assured that by some slight difference
on his part from other men, he may
have exactly the correct difference.
He was so correct in all his directions
that this seems the only elucidation
of the discrepancy. 49,. ......
