The labor of the operator or owner and other unpaid labor is charged 

 on the basis of the estimates furnished by the operators. The figures for 

 paid labor are made up from the actual wages paid plus the cost of board, 

 and the number of hours the labor was employed. The rates per hour, 

 when one considers the wages paid in other lines of industry, are certainly 

 not too high. As a matter of fact, the average loss sustained of $ .8415 

 per 100 pounds subtracted from the total labor charge of $1^116 in 

 Table No. 24 shows that all the labor actually received after paying all 

 other costs was only $ .11 per hour for their labor instead of $ .349 as 

 charged in Table No. 31 :

The total value of the operators' labor, as shown in Table No. 9, 

 was $102,606.44. The value of the other unpaid labor was $18,338.03, 

 making a total for unpaid labor of $120,944.47. The total losses as shown 

 in Table No. 23, were $118,317.60. This assumes that all labor was paid. 

 If the unpaid labor amounting to $120,944.47 was not included in the ex- 

 penses, it would leave to the farmer a profit of $2,626.87 to apply to the 

 wages of the unpaid labor. The number of hours the unpaid labor was 

 employed was 312,352, as shown in Table No. 31. If only $2,626.87 was 

 available to pay for this, the unpaid labor actually received $ .0084 per
