BEN F. COUNTER
M. P. COUNTER SECRETARY
PRESIDENT
VAN K. CARLSON
O. A. CARLSON
TREASURER
V IC E•PREBIDENT
THE FORT LUPTON CANNING COMPANY
FORT LUPTON, COLORADO
P. O. ROE 346
Tune 6, 1951
My name is Ben F. Counter , I live on a farm 1 miles
north of Fort Lupton and am employed by The Fort Lupton
Canning Company. Part of my work is in the field,
supervising crops etc. , and I am quite well acquainted
with many of the farm problems in our area.
One of the bigest problems in connection with
obtaining sufficient farm labor is adequate housing,
particularly for seasonal help, not only in our district
but in other farm districts as well. Good housing is basic.
It attracts more and better labor. We have such housing in
the Lupton Labor Camp. Generally speaking farm labor is
well satisfied with the accomodations and during the seasons
after World War II , the camp has been filled to capacity.
During the War it was used to house Mexican Nationals. The
Camp is an asset to the state, county and Lupton district
and every effort should be put forth to maintain, improve
and enlarge our present accomodations for farm labor.
whereby a county could serve in the capacity of a local housing agency.
The county in this capacity has no financial responsibility.
During the interim period, from April, 1950 to the present time,
while other plans were being formulated, The Lupton Farm Improvement
Association continued the operation of the labor camp under a revocable
lease.
It has been estimated that 75% of the monies paid Stoop Labor in this
area is spent in local stores. I do not know about the beet labor payments,
but stoop labor for picking snap beans is paid daily, in fact for each
sack as picked. The average daily payments made by Kuner—Ebipson Company,
Western Food Products and The Fort Lupton Canning Company totals
$10,000.00 or more. This daily payment for the 30 day period of early snap
beans totals $300,000.00. To this should be added revenue from other
crops.
Our farms in this area are relatively small and thus adapt themselves
to growing vegetables for market or processors and the revenue derived
therefrom is dependant upon the availability of the necessary stoop
labor and this migratory labor must be housed, hence the necessity of the
Lupton Housing Center.
I am Mrs. M. F. Counter, President of The Fort Lupton Canning Company.
I have been associated with the Company since its inception, February 1st,
1917. Prior to that time I was associated with my Father, the late 0. E.
Frink, during the summer vacations. He was a pioneer canner starting in
Fort Lupton in 1904. Thus for forty five years I have had personal
dealings with what is commonly called "stoop labor", used in thinning
beets, picking snap beans, harvesting onions, potatoes, picking tomatoes,
late snap beans and other garden items and topping sugar beets.
This type of labor is migratory since the work performed by them is
of a seasonal nature. Formerly they often camped on ditch banks and in
fields drinking ditch water and with no sanitary facilities, thus creating
a health hazard both to themselves and the community. The area did not have
the required housing facilities, hence the determination to establish a camp
with proper sanitary facilities.
The Lupton Farm Improvement Association has operated this labor camp
since September, 1947, at which time the Department of Labor funds,
appropriated for the operation of this and similar camps were exhausted.
There were fifty—three (53) similar camps in the United States located
by the Federal Government in areas of greatest necessity for this type
of labor-harvesting seasonal-perishable products. In April, 1950, the
labor camp was transferred from the Department of Agriculture to the
Federal Housing Administration. In so fax as Fort Lupton, a town of
about 2,000, could not qualify with the Colorado Housing Statute of
1935 -- which required that the sponsoring city have a population of
5,000, it was necessary to introduce a bill before the Colorado Legislature

DR. W. W. AICHELMAN
VETERINARIAN
FORT LUPTON, COLORADO
Speaking as the Mayor of Fort Lupton I would like to say
that the Fort Lupton Labor Camp is an asset to the town in a
business way.
The class of people that occupy the camp seem to spend
their money and from all indication they spend a great deal of
it in Fort Lupton.
We supply them with water which brings some revenue to
our town.
We need these people because there is such a demand for
the type of work they do in this farming district. The extra
camp homes help to alleviate the housing shortage in our
community since some of our permanent residents rent
some of these houses.
In my business as a veterinarian Z contact a great many

WELD COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY HEARING.
Members of the 3oard of Commissioners of field County, Colorado, and
others present.
My name is Caihoo., Lee E. Calhoon, Assistant Production Manager
of Kuner-Ernpson Company with headquarters at Brighton, Colorado.
Tuner-Empson Company operates five canning plants in Northern Colorado
area and packs approximately 1,250,000 cases of food products and contracts
ap roxir:ately 0,000 to 9,000 acres of vegetable crops annually.
The area in which Kuntr-Enpson Company contracts acreage coL- prises
an area bounded approximately by Greeley and Ft. Collins on the north; Longmont
and Loveland on the West; henderson and East Lake on the South; and Brighten,
Ft. Lupton and Platteville on the East. Some acrea p is also contracted in
Prospect Valley and Wiggins areas.
Canning; plants are located at Brightor, Longmont, Loveland, Greeley,
and Ft. Lupton, Colorado.
Pickle Salting stations are located at East Lake, Erie, Henderson,
Brighton, Ft. Lupton, Ione, Platteville, and Greeley, Colorado.
Pea hulling: stations arc located at Longmont, Loveland, Ft. Collins,
Johnstown, Berthoud and Head, Colorado.
For purposes of this hearing I will confine the facts trc-ich I present
to those concerning the operation in the area under the supervision of the
Ft. Lupton plant.
Table I shows the annual average of acreage contracted in this area;
the labor required; produce received; value of the produce; and wares paid to
the harvesting labor, for the period 1945-1950, inclusive.

These figures reveal the economic importance of this operation to the area.

This operation would not '.:e possible without '.;.}: 1_:bor supply
afforded by the Lupton Camp, since it is not ocor.emieally feasible for
grower's to furnish adequate housing for the large crews required of the
operation, due to the scasoi.al nature.
Ye feel that the need for labor in this area is such that we
are now making arrangements to open and operate the Labor Ca.1p at Gilcrest
for the season of 1951. In addition to these camps, it is also necessary
to supply tents to growers and laborers for supplemental on farm housing-.
