<br />. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />as late potatoes W1ic0 cannot noW be attempted. Sugar beets will <br /> <br />probably also bec:me feasi ble of production as the development <br /> <br /> <br />of Pine River Project will probably result in the establishment of <br /> <br /> <br />a sugnr b8et fnctory in San Juan Basin. <br /> <br /> <br />The increase in average crop return is estimated as fully <br /> <br />twice the cost of the supplemental "~ter. <br /> <br />The CGst of vIa tel' under the proposed development is as <br /> <br />high ns has been su ccessfully met on ether pro Jects of the Bureau <br /> <br />of Reclamati0n with similar cli~tic and marketing characteristics <br /> <br />and can only be met by an increase in cash crops. <br /> <br />Assist~nce by Other Interests <br /> <br />The benefit cf the supplemental "~ter supply is not <br /> <br /> <br />limited to the land which receives it directly. All ether irrig~ters <br /> <br /> <br />will participate in the increased and stabilized return flow, as well <br /> <br /> <br />as a part at least of the curtailment of e~rly season demand to which <br /> <br />pr.)ject irrigators may subject themselves in the interest of increased <br /> <br />storage catch. Nor is this benefit limited to the land in the valley; <br />ell other interests, particularly those of the ~own of ~~ncos, will <br /> <br />be pl~ced on [l more selid footing along with the water users who <br /> <br />are assured of e. re'l.sonably adequate wflter supply by the construction <br /> <br />of the project. <br /> <br />41 <br /> <br />2300 <br />
