Abstract
FOR some time the United States Department of Agriculture has been instituting and directing experiments to ascertain where sugar-producing plants can be grown most profitably. The present volume contains the results of this investigation so far as concerns the beet-sugar industry. It is divided into two parts, one part consisting of the report of the chemist of the Department, Dr. H. W. Wiley, while the other consists of the report of the field agent, Mr. C. F. Saylor, who has personally visited and examined the plantations and factories concerned in the beet-sugar industry in a large number of districts.
