are probably as good as any others. Figure 6 has been arranged with 

 oil prices varying from 1 cent to 10 cents per gallon, so that corrections 

 may easily be made for changes in fuel costs. 



Figure 7 3how8 the Labor costs per acre per year for pumping plants. 

 The basis on which they were computed is shown in Table 41.
