<br />the damage caused to irrigation facilities from minor floops can be re~
<br />
<br />paired, at least temporarily, before t)1e crops are inju>.ed appr!)ci,ably,

<br />losses are those suffered a1; a result of loss of gainful employment and
<br />
<br />loss of income from producing, transporting, and marketing smaller
<br />
<br />amounts of the crop~ Indirect crop losses, while arising as a result of
<br />direct losses, are not directly proportional to them but in the case of
<br />
<br />complete crqp loss approach the amount of the difference between the
<br />
<br />direct loss and the a,nticipateq gross value of the crop, For eXSJIlple,
<br />
<br />if a crop were destroyed in an early stage, but at a time too late to
<br />
<br />permit replanting, the direct loss would be only the operator's eXPense
<br />
<br />to the time of flooding plus his anticipated net profit On the crop,
<br />
<br />The indirect loss, however, would be the loss in wage!, Which wt,:lulq have
<br />
<br />been received for cultiVating the crop to maturity, and after maturity,
