Far the project as a whole, the aver-c <br /> <br />age increase will be greater because of the develo~ent of lands now <br /> <br />idle or yielding only a negligible emount of pasture. <br /> <br />Reliable estimates of the cost of production of various <br /> <br />crops on the project are not readily available because few farmers <br /> <br />keep books'and the figures given by them are only rough estimates. <br /> <br />The following data were secured from the County Agent and the <br /> <br />Farmers' Produce Company, as well as from individual farmers: <br /> <br />17 <br />
