1 Data for two farms investigated where the crop was a total failure are excluded from this tabulation. 
NoTE.—Although some farms in the United States produced less than 3 acres of beets in 1922, cost data 
were not obtained for these small acreages because they were usually incidental and of only minor impor- 
tance on diversified farms.
