This plant, constructed in 1905, has a rated capacity of practically 1,000 tons daily. The lowest average yield for the five-year period was recorded in the Rocky Ford district, although there is little variation in the aver- age yields for the Fort Collins, Fort Morgan, and Rocky Ford areas. The average yield for the Rocky Ford area during the years 1914 and 1915, when the enterprise records were obtained, exceeded the normal yield. The maximum average yield was obtained in the Eaton district. A large number of the enterprise records for Weld County came from the Eaton area. Fort Collins and Fort Morgan were considerably above the normal for the year 1914. The latter was slightly below normal in 1915. On the whole, there were no wide differences in yield within the groups. The slight fluctuations that may be observed were undoubtedly due to climatic Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illust
