According to these figuies, a factory could have found beets in 
proper condition for working the last week in September, and ten 
days later nearly half the crops were of excellent quality. All of 
the fields improved in quality during October, and some of the more 
backward were hardly ripe before the end of the month. 
Harvesting for shipment to Grand Island began on October 28 
and was completed November 2. Six carloads were shipped from 
Loveland, two from Fort Collins and one from Greeley. Each 
wagonload of beets was weighed when brought to the cars and 
samples of the beets taken for analysis. When the cars reached 
Grand Island they were weighed, the beets again analyzed, and also 
a sample was cleaned to ascertain how much dirt was attached 
to the beets.
