In manv instances certain limiting factors will need careful. Fig. 2.âOutline map showing the original location of 26 beet-sugar uiLis ('â '; and the points to which they were removed (R). For example, IE shows the original location of mill No. 1 and 1R the point to which that mill was removed ; 2E the original location of mill No. 2 and 2R the point to which it was removed ; and so on for each mill listed in Table II. Factories 21E and 22E are in the same loca- tions as those designated by 2R and 5R. consideration and readjustment before a sufficient quantity of raw material can be assured annually to make all of them permanently successful.
