By dividing the Brix number, which represents the total solids in the beet juice, intothe polariscope reading which represents the per cent, of sugar in the beet juice, andmultiplying the qaotieat by 100, a nuoaber called Oo-efficient of Purity or simply? Parity, is obtained. Example:— (1.) y sugar in iaice. ) ^ ^° • ix 100 = Parity, Bnx or cotal solids la juice, 16 1(2). % sugar in jaic», Brix or total solids in juice, X 100 = Parity, Fig. 11. The beets of Example 1, cultivated on the flat in rows 21 inches apart, averaged anet weight of 1 lb. oz. and yielded a net weight of 22 tons, 1,166 lbs. per acre;while the beets of Example 2, cultivated ia raised drills 30 inches apart, averaged a netweight of 1 lb , oz., ani yield :d a n,t weight of 22 toas, 500 lbs. per acre. Upon the assumption that eaoh pouad of mitter nit sugir in the solids of beet juicekeeps at least one pound of sag it from crystallizing, 88 9 % of the sugar in the beets ofExample 1, and only 6S 5 of che sugar in the beets of Example 2, would crystallizeThis enormou3 lo^s of sug^r which in thi latter case would occur will not happen whenfarmers fully realize and practice proper me:hoda of cultivation.
