mony designed to show that in some
states sugar beet culture is a "hot-
house, industry. James 8odkin Of
Mead, Colo, representing farmers Of
that, sugar beet territory, told Of the
cheap foreign labor employed there.
The farmers who are attending the
committee session contend that they
are not given reasonable profit on
their sugar beet crop and they want an
increase IN the price per ton delivered
to the sugar mills.
Mr.. Bodkin told the committee that
the contracts between beet farmers and
sugar refiners were drawn TO compel
the farmer to violate them as soon as
the beet crop was planted. One stipu
lation, he said, was that the farmer
must protect his bcets from sunlight
