oreedin0 sugar oests.
prperess Of the work In tho
breeding Of sugar beets 10 certainly
eucouraging-says Q recent circular Of
the University OF Illinois. About 800
individual beets were analysed in the
spring Of 1902. the beets having been
saved from the 1901 crop. and the best
beets were selected from all Of those
analysed and were planted a. seed
beets. Owing to the very wet season
only a small quantity Of seed was pro-
duced but this has been saved and
will be planted In 1908. From the
best variety of beets grown during the
past season Of 1902 more than 1000
seed beets were carefully selected and
these individual beets have already
been analysed. About 200 of the best
beets from this lot OF 1000 are now
In cool storage and will be planted as
seed beets In the season Of 1908.
These 200 seed beets are all exception.
ally rich In sugar. the poorest beet
selected containing not less than II
per cent Of sugar and the richest con.
tanning as high as % per cent. II Is
hoped that q considerable quantity
Of very high grade sugar beet seed
may be produced from these seed
beets In 1903. When we remember
that beets containing 12 or 13 per cent
OF sugar are considered very salts.
factory for factory use. the possibility
OF growing high grade pedigreed sugar
beet seed from such stock Of select
ed seed beets as the 200 We now have

Its Importance will be appreciated.
In conclusion we may say that the
evidence Of the Investigations con.
Quoted during the past season points
very definitely to the conclusion that
large yields Of sugar beets Of most
excellent quality can be produced in
Illinois. provided varieties are grown
which are adapted to our soils and
climate. and further provided that the
beets are properly planted on suita.

which have been shown by past ex.
