Popis: A method for taking pre-harvest samples as an aid for estimat­ ing the tonnage and sugar content of the sugar beet crop in The Great W estern Sugar Company territory has been devised and described by Brewbaker and Bush (I) (2) (3y . Samples are taken the first week in September and again the third week of the same month by this method. Each sample consists of 10 feet of row taken at random for each 90 acres of beets being grown in a factory district. This method has been used each year since its innovation and the results obtained have led to highly accurate estimates of the amount of sugar to be produced.
