The temperature conditions were as shown in Table IV. 6 BULLETIN 199, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THE DRYING GF BEETS PULLED, TOPPED, THROWN INTO LARGE PDLES, AND LEFT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. On October 14, 1912, a plat of sugar beets was dug with a specialbeet plow. As rapidly as possible the beets were pulled and topped,care being taken to shake off the adhering soil. About 1,00 poundsof the beets were then thoroughly rinsed with cold water to washoff the remaining soil. They were then spread out on a lawn untiltheir surfaces were dry and again weighed to ascertain the topped beets were at once weighed and piled in two piles ofabout 500 pounds each and left uncovered in the open field. Themean temperature during the experiment was 47° F. (See fig. 1.).
