The basic data from which the pounds of sugar extracted from a ton of beets were obtained were fur- nished by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Sugar extraction from beet roots depends upon the sugar content, the coefficient of purity, the general condition of the beet roots when sliced, the extraction and refining processes used, and the efficiency of the mills, These data are restricted to those beets for which costs were obtained in this investigation, and therefore are not necessarily the same as the data published by the Department of Agriculture or those published in ‘‘ Concerning Sugar,” which are aver- ages for all beets sliced by all the factories located in the respective States. . * Land rental and other capital charges, paid and unpaid, are excluded from this cost. For the United States as a whole cash rental was actually paid on 5.4 per cent of the acreage harvested and share rental on 41.7 per cent. On a large percentage of farms, interest, amounting to 20 cents per acre, or about 1.8 cents per ton, was actually paid on cash advances made by the factories to the farmers for the payment of contract labor. Many of these farms are mortgaged, and interest is actually paid on these farm mort- gages at rates varying from 5 to 9 per cent and averaging 7.14 per cent. In order to put the data for all farms on a comparable basis and simplify tabulations, however, all farms were treated as owned by the operators, and taxes and overhead costs on this rented acreage were included as general costs. and all capital charges, whether paid or unpaid, were segregated. . 8 The capital charges included here are for all capital embloved in surar-beet production.
