The only caute of delay It the necessity of awaiting the full ripening of the Wets, which waesomewhtl retarded by the recent rains. The present line weather will, doubtless, develop them rspldly. Thechemtcal tests of the roots from vsrlous lucallllee show the average percentage of sugar and of purity to be at least equal to the same qualities In thoee produced In any other part of the United rlutea. This Is au encouraging fact. The standard of Ihe beets raised on Lehl bemh land It somewhat hlgherlhanthatofsamples from any other locality. This Is probably due to the fact that these roots for sugar purosee lo better on the high landt then where Ihe toll lihravler, and alio for Ihe reaiou that In I.ehl tho crop hat received more atlentlou than hat beeu tho rule elsewhere.
