Anaemic, Discourteous ana III
Groomed, Is the Verdict of a Back
Bay Scientist.

Boston.-According to DR.. R. K. En-
drick Smith, Back Bay scientist, Bos-
ton men are the poorest physical speci-
mems of any type in the country.
The eminent scientist says that, as
a class, they are far below the men OF
New York. Philadelphia, Chicago and
other cities. He says the cartoonlst Is
not so far from the truth in his char'
acterization of the be-spectacled Dos
ton boy with the smileless race
stopped shoulders and the inevitable
volume of Emerson under his arm.
Another fault of Boston men is tina
they are discourteous." and he says
that il remarked by Southerners an'
Westerners. They are also III
groomed. There is always sharp con
trast in the clothes of men in TIL
city and those in New York.

Root System of Sugar Beet, Showing
Deep Penetration Into the Soil.

may occur after maturity. caused by
rain. which greatly reduces the sugar
content of the beet.
The sugar beet does remarkably
we'll at high elevations from the fact
that it is injured very little by frost
and haiistorms unless they are too
severe or too early. Profitable crops
of sugar beets are, however, seldom
produced above the elevation of 5000
feet.
Probably the best soil for sugar
beets is a good, deep clayey loan with
sufficient sand or silt to allow its be-
iI.g easily pulveriZed. Since the sugar
beet is deep rooted it necessarily re
ouires a Ceep soil. The low, wet soils
are poorly adapted to this crop, as
they are wet and prevent any rap1c
development in the early stages O
growth, and the later growth con
tinues beyond the time of maturity
Such soils produce a watery beet
low quality, resulting IN low suga
content. Soils which have hard-pal
formation within Is inches OF the SUI
face should never be used for beet
since they greatly interfere with roc
growth, and also have tendency |
lose moisture.
Stony and gravelly soils should o
avoided, since they are incapable
holding water, and stony soils prever
the proper development in form
roots. which is essential for the hig
est quality of beets. Sandy soils whie
have a tendency TO blow should new
be used as the young plants are IT
quently destroyed by strong VINO
The sugar beet requires deep, m'
low soil. quite rich N available pia
food and free from weed growth.
