Binghampton, n. T.. Special.-The
work of dismantling The Binghampton
sugar factory, which is to be removed
to Blackfoct, Bingham county, Idaho,

here to raise enough beets to operate
the plant successfully. The Idaho
soil and climate are well adapted to
beet sugar, and the farmers there are
eager to contract to raise enough
money to supply the factory. Already
1000 acres have been contracted for
within a radius of 100 miles from Bin
