Nore.—The sugar extraction from beet roots depends upon the sugar content, the coefficient of purity, 
the degree of ripeness of the beets when harvested, the general condition of the beets when sliced, the ex- 
braction and refining processes used, and the efficiency of the mills. 
Averages were all obtained by weighting with the total tons of beets produced in each State, respectively. 
These data were obtained from Tables 5 and 6 and are the differences between the sugar content and 
the sugar extracted per ton of sugar beets.
