IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Fosters the Beet Sugar Industry OF
the couttTy

The watchful eye Of the statesman.
the statistician, the expert. and the i'll
telligcnt consumer is fixed all the time
on the constantly increasing sugar
beet production, especially through ir-
rigation in the West.
The ultimate hope of the American
consumer is that the beet industry
may give rise some day to a situation
wherein the United States will pro-
duce its annual sugar consumption
and i, is conceded that the hope of
this situation is by means Of the beet
industry and that through irrigation
in the West.
From the date of its inception in
1901 until the present time. the Ma
tiona1 Irrigation congress, which
holds its eighteenth sessions in Pu-
cblo. September 26-.3o, has fostered
and nurturcd the beet industry with a
jealous care. The constantly-increas-
ing irrigated area of the West means.
therefore. constantly-increas beet
production.
In Colorado. where there are I6
beet mills and which has produced in
the year 1909 sufficient sugar there
sumption of the country for I3 days
of the year. and especially in the ia
vorcd Arkansas valley where there are
seven of these mills and more success
ful beet conditions than anywhere
else. the beet situation and its direct
relation to irrigation and the 1rriga-
ton congress assume vast importance.
Charles +. Saylor. the government 5
beet expert. recently made the follow
ing statement regarding the growth of
the beet industry:
THE acreage of sugar beet produc-
ton in the United States is increasing
rapidly:
while we cannot hope for many
years to produce enough sugar bects
for the manufacture of all the sugar
we consume in the United States, the
increased acreage and the growing
manufacture of sugar in this country
is encouraging. Most of our sugar is
imported from abroad in the raw state
and refined in this country. We con-
sumo every year 100000 tons and
about one-fourth of this is produced
here.
"If the growing of sugar bects con-
tinues to increase, and the building
of beet sugar manufactures advances
as it has in the last few years. it will
not be great while until We shall at
least make half of the sugar used in
| this country.
Colorado and California arc the
leading sugar beet states. and Michi-
gan follows. Nearly every state in
| the beet sugar zone, however, is TAX
ing up the culture of the beet. and in
many states new factories are going
UP. Ohio is rapidly increasing her
beet sugar output, and only recently
two new factories were built in that
state.
"Of course. sugar bcets cannot be
grown everywhere. The zone OF sue
ccssful production lies in territory
north of line that would. If drawn,
have Chicago in its center. The
South. of course. raises a vast guam
] tity Of sugar cane

tonnage at less cost and risk It will open up the entire Atlantic and Gulf States to competition that are now held down by fixed rail rates. Prac- tically all the Atlantic and Gulf lines are controlled by railroad interests, and the railroads will not prorate from the ports to the interior with indepen- dent lines. and the equipment for new lines of steamships is too exOrbitant to enlist capital; but when it comes to the matter of tugs, barges, lighters, and bay steamboats that would be re- quired for an inland waterway, the conditions all change if the railroads are made to restrict themselves to land movement. In other words, their car riage and interest should stop at the port. Natural competition will fix the water rates. Water provides a natural highway and should be free as the air we breathe.
 Perhaps the greatest obstacle in the way of establishing what Congressman Moore calls New England's sonly means of competitive transportation" is the somewhat prevalent feeling that it would ''hurt the railroads, a feel ing illustrated here when the city pre- sented the road with II acres of har- bor area which will be needed when the inland waterway is completed. Is it a fact that water competition would ''hurt the railroads? It is the judg- ment of many practical thinkers, says Congressman Moore. that the railroad doing business in a country whose population is congested stands in its own ight-pulls itself back-when it encourages the obstruction of water ways, that in respect to harbors must bring new grist to the railroad mill, and that in respect to inland streams must serve as feeders to existing rail- roads because of the new territory they encourage and develop
 This view of the subject has been substantially endorsed by Railroad Magnate James J. Hill.
 Bridgeport has several civic organi- zations to which this subject of an inland waterway should appeal strong ly. It has a Board of Trade. a Busi- ress Mems Association. and a Manu- facturers' Association, all of which should be deeply interested in this matter; it has also a Taxpayers League which possibly might. tempor- arfly at least. neglect the mint, anise and cummin'' of municipal affairs and give attention to this weightier mat ter. Bridgeport should shake off it's lethargy in the matter of water trans portation, and cease to regard as the prime object of its existance and devo- tion the welfare of a railroad which has ever. taken from Bridgeport all it could get "by hook or by crook. and given in return the very least possi- ble.

It is said that the driver of one of the cars in the Glidden Tour has fallen heir to a fortune of s1,5OO, ,O0O. It is not advisable to lubricate fibre band brakes. but if they should be- come noisy a little grease makes a better Silencer than oil.
 When brake approaches the limit allowed for adjustment, have the blocks renewed. If a squeak develops in the brakes, the trouble should be looked for in the drums, which may oil.
 The selectmen of Brookline Mass, have purchased five more motor cars for municipal use, making. ten in all bought by the town fathers within a short time. The last five will be us- ed for the heads of various town de- partments
 It is we'll in selecting maps to choose those which are on scale sufficiently large to show clearly all the byways, for it frequently happens that the beauty spots in any locality are only to be reached by abandoning the larger and more important thor oughfares.
 Nearly all of the department stores of Reading, Pa, have adopted auto mobile delivery, the breweries are us- ing the delivery truck almost exclu- sively and the City Council is laying plans for next year, when some of the fire companies will be equipped with the combination chemical auto mobile truck.
 After a car has been in continual use for some time it is not bad plan to thoroughly overhaul the cool ing system, wash out the water tank and the jackets and thoroughly cleanse the pipes and coils by means of a hoCp iS aSfnniShino Uhat Int of dirt accumulates after few months of steady use.
 A big discussion has been caused all over the country by the declaration of an official that automobiles are causing race suicide in Kansas. The consensus of opinion appears to be that it is not so much the motor car as it is Kansas exceptional prosperi- ty that has frightened the stork-for the stork is notoriously wary of riches.
 If valves have been neglected and are deeply pitted, have them skinned up in a lathe and then grind them in. Great force is not necessary and fine emery should be used. A good plan is to interpose very light spring between the valve head and valve seating on the cylinder, as this will render it unnecessary to keep on lift ing the valve.
 A mdcQ1Q0 IOT measuring ana map ping the flights of airships has been devised by Professor Alexander G. McAdie, head of the United States Weather Bureau in San Francisco, Cal. It is machine that will show the exact path of an airship, measuring g with scientific accuracy the time of flight and the number of miles travel ed, as well as showing the variations of elevation at all times during the voyage.
 Sudden tendency to oil seepage through the parting line of the crank or gear case, should be followed by an immediate investigation. While it may be due merely to the loosening of some of the fastening belts, there also is a possibility that some unusual strain has so wrenched the shafts and bearings as to spring or even crack the housing. If such happens to be the case of course, the internal me- chanism must be attended to at once.

The carrying of luggage on open bodied ears frequently presents con- siderable difficulty; but the difficult ty is not really very serious if the tour ist is willing to spend certain amount of time and money upon solution of the problem some little time before the start. A luggage grid can almost always be adapted to the back of an open touring car. and it can be so ar ranged that it slides completely out of sight, when it is not in use.
