Extract

1. The distribution of the total weight of beet in small areas (2 yards by 1 yard) was examined and estimates made of the effects of missing beet on the final yield, and of the yield to be obtained with various percentage plants.

2. The distribution of gaps over the field is found to be non-random. The percentage of gaps varies from block to block, but does not differ greatly between the spacings. Three methods were employed and gave consistent results.
