The problem of correct preservation has not yet beensolved, as there is danger both from sweating and freezing. Thebeets now lie in the upper trench as they came from the course some soil adheres to them. SUGAR, ETC. 305 What happens next ? Warm waste water is let into the under-ditch or flume, andthis lifts the loose boards. The beets fall down and go towardthe factory. At the factory they fall into buckets on the rim ofa wheel and are carried into the washing-augur, which revolvesin an iron trough. As the beets are forced along they becomeclean. At the end of the trough they fall into buckets andascend to the top of the building, drying as they go. Arrivingat the top, the beets fall into an automatic weigher, which tipsat half a
