auspices of the board of agriculture
in seven centers In England. The
boards report has now been issued,
and is decidedly encouraging for those
concerned In the experiment In East
Anglia mentioned above. The conclu-
sion of the board of agriculture says
definitely:
There Is no question that beets
with high sugar content can be grown
in this country and give yields equal
ing, If not exceeding, those obtained
on the continent"
The report points out that lin no
case did the crops receive more atten-
ton than would be given to growing
mangolds or swedes by a farmer of
ordinary skill. In no case was sub
soiling carried out, practice which
on the Continent is regarded as indis-
pensable. 1t is therefore significant
to. learn that the average yield of su-
gar beets in Prussia did not exceed
six tons an acre. figure only slightly
In excess of the yields obtained at the
Devon or Essex stations, which have
been characterized as failures in view
of the better results obtained at the
other stations"
The venture OF course has still to
be regarded as experimental. 1t has
been proved beyond question that SUI
gar beets will grow In England as well
as on the continent. 1t may be taken
as beyond controversy that the crOp
! is generally suitable to English soil.
