Beet Sugar Notes.

Some papers have been publish
ing exaggerated reports OF the
richness OF sugar beets brought to
the Rocky Ford factory. The
highests have been about 20 per
cent, and the average is II, which
is very satisfactory to the growers.
In calculating the amount OF re-
fined sugar which ton OF Upper
cent beets will make It will be well
to remember that between 81 and
4 per cent Of the sugar content is
lost in the various processes OF
manufacture.
During the past two weeks
many beets have been received in
a frozen condition. They can be
worked up while frozen without
loss OF sugar content. but after
they thaw their value is lost
