to speak. The crop that doesn't pay 

 its rent must give way to one that does. 

 The system is quite simple. The total 

 expenses divided by the square feet of 

 bench room give the so-called overhead 

 cost of operating each square foot for 

 one year. The crop grown is charged 

 with this expense plus the cost of biUbs 

 or plants or seeds, and credited with the 

 amount realized from the sales of that 

 crop. The difference gives the profit 

 or loss. Of course, a crop occupying a 

 given space on the bench for two 

 months will be charged for that time 

 onlv.
