Title:: Historical development of the sugar-beet industry in the United States

Collection:: Economics Books

os COSTS OF PRODUCING SUGAR BEETS Through improvement in machinery and processes, much gain accrued in the average extraction of sugar from beets. The average extraction for the five-year period 1909-1913 was 12.6 per cent, and the average for the five-year period 1921-1925 was 13.8. On the other hand, the average sugar content of the beets during that period slightly declined.
