<br />o <br />o <br />,) <br />.;:::.. <br />c.;;; <br />o <br /> <br />V. NO STRATEGI C MATERIALS REQUIRED, <br /> <br />1. Items III and IV show that the potential average beet pro- <br />duoing oapaoity of the Northern Colorado Water Conservanoy Distriot and <br />the present oapaoi ty of refineries are approximately equal. Consequent- <br />ly refineries may be expeoted to handle the Distriot's beet produotion <br />without inorease in faotory oapaoity. A~.the present time this is of <br />extreme importanoesinoe no new refinery oonstruotion will be required <br />and. henoe, no materials vitally needed in produotion of war equipment <br />will be required. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />VI . NEW FARM MACHINERY aEQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />1, Farm operators of the Northern Colorado Water Conservanoy <br />Distriot ht;.ve long been equipped with the farm tools and maohinery re- <br />quired for beet produotion. Therefore the use of strategio materials <br />for 1l8W farm maohinery needed in the area will be limited to ordinary <br />replaoements. <br /> <br />2. Aotually, more than the average use will probably be made <br />of equipment now on hand. <br /> <br />VII. SUGAR BEET SEED <br /> <br />1. SU[:'lr beet seed now on hand is entirely adequate for the <br />demands of the lS..2 orop season. <br /> <br />2. The present program of beet seed produotion is adequate <br />to furnish all antioipated future demands. <br /> <br />VIII. BY-PRODUCTS OF REFINING <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1. Inoreased produotion and refining of sugar beets will pro- <br />duoe proportionate inoreases in the by-produots (beet tops, pulp and <br />molasses) whioh are utilized in sheep ar,d oattle feeding. Produotion <br />of fat livestook to meet established goals will thereby be aided. <br /> <br />IX. FARM LABOR <br /> <br />1. The sugar beet industry has always used a olass of transient <br />farm laborers, largely .span1sh-Amerioan, who f'ollow the seasons of orop <br />produotion. Mostly unskilled in trades. this olass of labor is not like- <br />ly to be greatly depleted by the lab.
