 COMPARATIVE TESTS OF SUGAR-BEET 
 VARIETIES. 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The tests ami trials recorded in this circular have been carried on 
 for a term « » f five years in cooperation with the New York Agricul- 
 tural Experiment Station, Geneva, X. Y.. the Experimenl Station of 
 the Michigan State Agricultural College, East Lansing, Mich., the 
 Agricultural Experimenl Station, Logan, I tali, and private indi- 
 viduals under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture at 
 Holland, Mich., and Fairfield, Wash. The Agricultural Experimenl 
 Station ;ii Fori Collins, Colo., and the Eastern Oregon Agricultural 
 Experimenl Stat ion at Union, Oreg., also cooperated with the Depart- 
 ment for three years. Many of the various beet-sugar factories 
 throughout the United States have assisted materially in the work. 
 
 IMPORTANCE OF COMPARATIVE TESTS OF SUGAR-BEET 
 VARIETIES. 
 
 Although the import a nee of quality of seed is quite generally appre- 
 ciated, it is often difficult, if not impossible, for one not personally 
 acquainted with the growers to judge wisely as to the true merits of 
 • I before purchasing. Reports regarding tests of seed often convej 
 a false or misleading impression. This arises from a number of causes, 
 a \ci\ common one being thai the peculiar climatic and soil condi- 
 tion- prevailing during the year the tests were conducted were espe- 
 cially advantageous to certain varieties and injurious to others. Tin- 
 fact might not he apparent during a single year'- work, although it 
 nia\ have been a mosl important factor in determining the relative 
 
 ■ a aumbi re there has been considerable discussion among sugar-beel 
 
 growers ami others interested in the beet sugar industrj regarding die comparative 
 
 values of the different varietii I I Five years ago thi Bureauunder- 
 
 took some carefully planned experiments for the purpose "i deten ing the relative 
 
 merits of the leading varieties used 1>\ two <>r more factories in this country. Tl 
 tests have been carried on under different Boil and climatic conditions during the 
 ]>rri"<l thai the work ha- been in ind the results of these ; mbodied 
 
 in 1 1 og set forth in tables a- well as by means of charts. These results

 results for a series of years. Influences of local climate and soil 
 should not be ignored; in fact, they can be used to great advantage, 
 although to comment wisely upon the quality of varieties it is neces- 
 sary to eliminate as far as possible any temporary adverse conditions 
 which a given variety may have encountered. The greater the num- 
 ber of comparative tests made under various soil and climatic condi- 
 tions the more the objectionable elements of chance are eliminated, 
 and just so much more by continuing the tests through a number of 
 years. Permanent soil and climatic conditions should lie considered 
 as bearing certain relations to the crop, and the effect of such influ- 
 ences should be recorded. A variety which has been developed under 
 certain local conditions would probably be much better suited for use 
 in sections having similar soil and climatic conditions than in sections 
 widely different in this respect from that where the seed was pro- 
 duced. These experiments were conducted for a term of five years 
 in localities representative of the various beet-growing sections of the 
 United States. 
 
 METHODS OF CONDUCTING THE TESTS. 
 
 The tests at the various stations were uniformly conducted with 
 the idea of determining the ability of each strain or variety to produce 
 a paying crop under varying local conditions. 
 
 The plots were made as large as feasible, in most cases being one- 
 fourth to one-half of an acre, although under irrigation at one station 
 they were but one-twentieth of an acre. All plots were planted 
 and treated as a farm crop, no care being taken to produce extra yield 
 or high sugar content that could not be secured in a general crop. 
 
 Fields uniform in soil and physical condition were chosen for the 
 tests, and the tables are made up of the actual results secured, except 
 that in a few instances, where peculiar conditions of soil or drainage 
 appeared or varieties were washed out by rain or injured by local 
 conditions, the results have been eliminated, no attempt having been 
 made to correct the figures on account of such exceptional local con- 
 ditions. It is possible that if these eliminations had not been made 
 it would have changed the relative positions of the varieties. As a 
 suggestion to those who care to study the matter further, die mean 
 position of the varieties in question a1 a particular station during the 
 remaining years' experiments can he used for the computation of a 
 possible result . 
 
 At each si at ion the plant ing of all plots was done on the same day 
 and in t he same manner. 
 
 The care, including the blocking, thinning, cultivating, and general 
 attention, of each plot and the harvesting, topping, and weighing of 
 the roots fr )in each plot were practically the same. 
 [Cir. 37] 
 
iMPARA I [V] li VARIETIJ S. 
 
 The testing at each station was done under similar conditions and 
 in the same manner, the samples used being uniformh taken of -ill 
 roots ;- grown in the row, a like number being taken of each sort. 
 
 The standard of measurement used lias been the gross amount of 
 BUgar produced to the acre, as represented by the yield of roots multi- 
 plied by the sugar content (sugar in beel I. Separate tables showing 
 the comparaf ive \ ields of roots and of sugar have not been included, 
 although the figures are given. The purity of the roots was not 
 taken into considerai ion. 
 
 METHODS OF SECURING THE SEED USED. 
 
 The Depart meiit of Agriculture receives numerous requests from 
 suear-beei growers to test seed grown by themselves and has been 
 offered large quantities for this purpose. In the preliminary work of 
 these experiments it was found that such samples were often much 
 superior to the samples of the same variety secured in the open 
 market, and n was therefore decided to purchase all seed in commer- 
 cial lots in the original sacks as senl oul by the seed growers. The 
 Beed tested, therefore, was purchased from factories using it for com- 
 mercial purposes and nol From the growers themselves, the only 
 exceptions throughout the entire series of experiments being thai 
 obtained from J. IS. Ajmw, C. C. Morse & Co., and E. 11. Morrison, 
 which was purchased in L,000-pound lots direct from these growers. 
 The varieties determined upon were -ill those which to the Depart- 
 ment's knowledge were used h\ two or more beet-sugar factories in 
 t he United States.

 RESULTS OF THE TESTS. 
 
 It was found that if alphabetically stated there would be such a . 
 wide variation in the diagrams (figs. 1 and 2) that their object, the 
 graphic presentation of facts, would be lost; therefore, the order 
 shown in-Table 1, giving the yield of sugar per acre at all stations 
 for the entire period, was used. The variety showing the highest 
 sugar content for the entire period was therefore given first place 
 throughout the entire report; the variety showing the next highest 
 sugar yield was given the second place, etc. Varieties not appearing 
 in Table 1 follow alphabetically according to growers.

 The gr'eatesl amount of sugar obtained in 1904 and 1905 was 4,094 
 pounds, and the average 3,477 pounds, while during the two good 
 years of 1906 and 1907 the highest sugar obtained was 5,729 pounds, 
 and the average was 4,947 pounds; thus, the highest sugar recorded 
 during 1904 and 1905 was not only 1,635 pounds below the highest 
 obtained in 1906 and 1907, but 853 pounds below the average obtained 
 during these two years.
