 no lont;er in doubt. That qiiestion has passed the experimental stage. * * * in- 

 vestigations conducted in New York by this Station during the season of 1897 in- 

 dicate that the State is not behind any of the Western States in adaptation of soil 

 and climate to the production of sugar beets."
