the rhousamlt and thousands Wtw
tame to town had thousand and
hoisindi of xprcnce which thev
will be able to relate for many year
to come Some pleasant some unpleasant
We wore vcrv happy to
hac qu te a number of vmors from
the Panhandle of Texas Somj could
1 not reach the Capitol by car by foot
lor by telephone If wc missed see
lng someone I am sorry because
we had a wonderfol time with all
those who got to th office
I About ten oclock in the morning
on Inauguration Da > the police
blocked off the streets around the
Capitol and the office buildings Un
i less you can show some pretty clear
authority to get through you are
stranded outside the blockades I
told all of our folks to be sure to
get to the office as early as they
could I got the entire Rogers family
up about six oclock and started for
the Capitol The night before a snowstorm
had suddenly desemded upon
Washngton leaving seeral nches
of snow on the streets and several
thousand people stranded I was in a
axicab just after the storm hit and
t took 55 minutes for us to a dis
go
tance of about 25 city blocks Mary
Catherine our youncest was on her
school bus for four and a half hours
home from school
coming Prepota i
coming home from school Preparations
had been made to clear the
streets on tho Inaugural Parade
route but this took alt of the avail
able snow equipment hence all
cth ° r streets had to wait On the
morning of Inauguration Day the
sun was out but it was biter cokl
and the snow was hardpacked and
frozn We had to bring quite a number
cf things to the office because I
had made arrangements to have
some ceffee soft drinks sandwiches
arid cookies for all of the folks
from the Panhandle We packed
everything in the car including the
clothes that I had to change to in
order to be properly dressed for the
Inaugural Ceremony Realizing the
possibility of getting stuck in the
snow I did not reLsh trying to dig
out in a meming suit and top hat
Available food and drink in the office
is almost a necessity on Inauguration
Day because of the tremendous
crowds and the mpo sibility of getting
through the barricades to eating

p How many acres does it take to support a sugar beet plant
A From 27000 to 40000 acres
Q What is the relationship between the plant and the grower
A The plant enters Into a contract with a grower whereby the grower agrees to plant his
alloted acres the production from which is purchased by the sugar company The company
provides technical assistance and a representative remains on hand to offer suggos
tinos Of course if for any reason there is no production the contract is cancelled
Q How are sugar beets grown
A Five pounds of seed are planted per acre 400 pounds of 16200 fertilizer are used The
land is disced or floated The crop is listed in 30inch rows A ring roller is used to pack The
crop is planted with Iinch deep beet planter furnished by the beet company controlled by
depth bands Watered until the bed is black When beets are up I V2 inches use cultivator
Field man always helps Use disc hook knife corragators or water furrow plows
Q What labor is needed
A Use hand labor to thin Price established by Department of Labor is 1380 per acre
The government refunds this cost for laborfrom tax on sugar paid by consumers If second
over cost is 6 per acre
p How much water is required
A The crop should be thinned to 68 inches and watered every I 5 toj 8days If beet leaves
stand up in the morning do not water Water about four times cultivating Planting
dates are from April 20 to May 10 Harvest isfrom Oct 15 to Dec I depending on when sugar
company can handle beets
p What are the hazards
A Hazards are at a minimum compared with other crops grown here Early fall freezes or
polonged rain in the fall do not endanger the crop The sugar content of the beet improves
with age up to a certain point Hail during the growing season will not damage the crop unless
it is of such intensity as to knock the beetout of the ground Ordinarily it is not necessary
to carry hail insurance
Q What is the estimated cost of productionand the estimated return
A Farmers who have been growing the cropin this area estimate that the production cost
is from 65 to 75 per acre and that the returnis approximately 280
THE PRIMARY PROBLEM IS NOT THE ACTUAL PRODUCTION OF THE CROP BUT SECURING
LEGISLATION NECESSARY TO SECURE AN ALLOTMENT FOR THIS AREA
