Their previous experiments demonstrated that
the percentage CT sUglr in Missouri beetS was
from ! to e.. In order for the beet to be profita-
BILE for sugar making the percentage should be
from 10 to l.. Owing to the large number Of
letters, however, which have been recently re-

boards Of trade and capitalists urging further
investigation, the agricultural experiment sta
ton will experiment further and make two ex-
perimentS in each county. The United States

station with a large quantity of seed. which will
be distributed free to any farmer making appli-
cation here for the same. To anyone who
wishes to experiment the station will furnish
