Show SUGAR BFET HAS 3 POUNDS SUGAR The Amalgamated Sugar Company Com-pany reports a sugar beet grower who picked out a promising individual indi-vidual beet in his field last spring and noted that it was 9 inches in diameter on June 9. From then on he measured it every week. On July 28, it measured 22 inches in diameter. He harvested his crop on November 9, and this particular beet was 30 inches in diameter and weighed 29 pounds. Figuring an 11 per cent sugar content, the whopper beet carried over three pounds of sugar. The average Utah sugar beet, however, has a sugar content of 15 per cent. Small beets have more sugar than :he larger beets. |
