They, of course, are not at all comparable with the data shown in Tables 17 and 18, as the average cost of manure, because the data here refer to the acreage manured only, while there they refer to the entire beet acreage harvested; and also here the total value per load is considered, while there the cost has reference to only that part of the total value that is chargeable to the beet crop of a certain year.

The data presented here are not comparable with those shown in Tables 17 and 18, because the former refer to the farms that used commercial fertilizer only, and the latter refer to all farms for which costs are obtained. NoTE.—Of the 9 States included in this investigation only the 2 listed above used commercial fertilizer on sugar-beet land.

Consequently the product of the price paid by growers per pound of seed multiplied by the number of pounds of seed planted per acre may not equal the seed cost per acre shown in the tables analyzing the costs of production. The cost per acre of seed shown in the analysis tables includes the cost of seed planted on abandoned acreage as well as on the acreage harvested. . 1 The weighted average prices paid by growers for seed were 23 cents per pound in 1921, 18 cents per pound n 1922. and 16 cents per pound in 1923
