The safety, comfort and conveni¬ 
ence of the Zftar/tsi solid top, closed- 
in breech and side ejection features 
are combined with the quick, easy 
manipulation of the popular sliding 
fore-end or “pump” action in the new 
Model 20 ]72art rifle. 
In rapid firing—the real test of a re¬ 
peater—the /72ar£in solid top is always a 
protection and prevents smoke and gases 
blowing back; the ejected shell is never 
thrown into your face or eyes, and never 
interferes with the aim ; the fat forearm fits 
your hand and helps quick operation. 
It handles the short, long and long-rifle 
cartridges without change in adjustment, 
and the deep Ballard rifling guarantees the 
accuracy, making it the finest little rifle in 
the world for target shooting and for all 
small game up to 150 or 200 yards.

SUGAR BEETS IN NEW YORK. 
Through several issues of your paper 
I have noted your discussion of the 
growth and utilization of sugar beets 
in New York. On page 308 you sug¬ 
gest that, perhaps, Michigan soils are 
better adapted to the production of 
first-class sugar beets than are the 
general run of New York State soils! 
You also add that the New York soils 
on which they have been grown are 
higher priced than those utilized for 
the purpose in Michigan. In part, 
but not in total, this latter statement 
is true. The first statement is the one 
to which I desire to call special at¬ 
tention. 
In New York beet sugar factories 
are, or have been, located at two points, 
viz.. Binghamton and Lyons. The 
former has been abandoned for some 
years and the latter has had a pre¬ 
carious existence. Both factories are 
so located that they are tributary to 
only a relatively small area of soils 
upon which a large yield of beets of 
first-class quality may be grown. At 
Binghamton it was early found that 
paying crops of beets could only be 
grown on the river bottoms, and at that 
point the area of river bottoms—con¬ 
sidering both the Susquehanna and the 
Chenango rivers—which may be de¬ 
voted to the crop is small indeed. Con¬ 
sequently it was necessary to ship beets 
for long distances, a practice by which 
freight rates rapidly destroyed profits, 
which latter was promoted by an unwise 
location of the factory. Nearly all of the 
soils on the upland are entirely unsuited 
in many respects to the profitable growth 
of sugar beets. At Lyons a different 
set of soil conditions prevail, but here 
again the soils upon which successful 
crops of sugar beets may be grown are 
found in small areas, much scattered, 
rendering it difficult for the factory to 
secure a full season’s run within a 
reasonable hauling or shipping distance. 
The uplands, on which a very moder¬ 
ate growth of beets may be obtained, 
are relatively more valuable for the 
production of other crops. 
In Michigan the sugar beet indus¬ 
try has been chiefly developed in two 
sections—Southwest Michigan and the 
Saginaw Bay region. In both of these 
regions the beet industry is primarily 
founded upon the. occurrence in that 
vicinity of a particular kind of soil. 
Tn the Eastern States it has been well 
shown that the most profitable yield 
of beets—large tonnage, high sugar con¬ 
tent and high index of purity—is ob¬ 
tained upoiv soils fairly rich in humus 
and of a moderately heavy texture. 
Sandy soils are successful only when 
very largely supplied with humus, so 
as to have a dark or black color. Black 
clay is better. Muck is a failure for 
producing sugar beets. The ideal soils 
are chiefly found -in reclaimed swamp 
areas which have not reached the muck 
stage. These are exactly the condi¬ 
tions which prevail -in the Saginaw 
country and in Allegan, Cass and other 
southwest Michigan counties. To the 
soil specialist these particular soils are 
known as the Clyde Series. They are 
not the only first-class eastern sugar 
beet soils, but they are the most prom¬ 
inent and widely distributed ones. In 
New York they are found in relatively 
limited areas, certainly in the regions 
where beet sugar factories have been 
located. The region where the large 
area of first-class sugar beet soils oc¬ 
cur is in Niagara, Erie and Orleans 
counties. Tn Niagara the black soils 
north of the “Ridge Road’’ and in the 
vicinity of Tonawanda creek are most 
promising and similar soil conditions 
extend into the adjacent counties. Here 
a factory may find in a small region 
a large area of sugar beet land, and 
consequently have much more show of 
permanent success than as at present 
situated. Other sections of the State 
offer better situations than the present 
factories occupy for the business. Beet 
sugar production in New York may 
have a much better prospect of suc¬ 
cess if more advantageously situated 
with reference to the soils upon which 
that industry must be based. The fac¬ 
tory authorities or the farmers are not 
so much to blame for the situation, 
for they had not available either the 
knowledge as to the requisite soils or 
their occurrence by which to he guided 
in establishment of the industry.
