The 99 mills now standing are for the most part favorably situated 
for extracting and refining beet sugar under present conditions. In 
many instances certain limiting factors will need careful considera- 
tion and readjustment before a sufficient quantity of raw material 
can be assured annually to make all of them permanently successful 
under normal conditions as beet- sugar centers. In many areas beet- 
sugar mills have been crowded in too rapidly, so that it has not been 
possible to readjust the farming operations and install the required 
drainage, irrigation, etc., with sufficient rapidity to provide the neces- 
sary well-prepared acreage of sugar beets to insure a normal mill run. 
Consequently neither the mill owners nor the growers have received 
under these conditions a maximum return for the money and labor 
invested.
