Below we present general averages of some of our results giv- 

 ing figures for several different counties. While these results 

 are of interest, they possess little real value so far as they repre-

 ples from most counties to afford any fair basis for comparison. 

 Readers are carefully cautioned against drawing any sweeping 

 conclusions from the results presented in this manner.
