59, but 9 cents less than in 1947-49.
The farmers' share of the consumer's
doll a varies widely among products.
It is smaller for a highly serviced pro-
duct;, such as bread, than for an un-
processed product such as eggs. When
$1 was spent in 1969 at the grocery
store, 41 cents went for products and
59 cents for marketing services.
Higher marketing costs were part
of the increase in food expenditures.
Part was due to increases in the price
of goods and services farmers use to
produce the product. Sharpest cost
increases are in taxes, wage rates, and
interest.
From 1957 to early 1970, the index
of prices farmers pay for commodities,
interest, taxes, and wage rates in-
creei .d 31 percent. Taxes were up
to I 29 percent, hired wage rates 81
percent, motor vehicles 35 percent,
fertilizer 7 percent, and feed 6 percent,
to name a few. Thus, the cost-price
squccze continues to keep their earn-
ings below those in other industries.
"I bough it gets little attention from
the a verage American, consumers also
gain from the farmers' role as an ex-
porscr. Foreign trade in agricultural
products is an important source of
national income and most important
in our balance of trade situation.

ten si-- Service.Crosby Office Closed
Cii June 17, at the request of the
District Manager, the Board of Direct-
ors voted to close the District's Crosby
County office in Lorenzo. Permits for
welk in Precinct 3, Crosby County, will
nov be issued at the District's Lubbock
office. Mr. Cliff Thompson will now
serve as the Crosby County Secretary.
The Crosby County office was
opened in June 1969. Since that time,
five well permits have been issued at a
total cost to the District of over
$300.00 per permit.
Closing this office establishes the
same relationship between the Lub-
bock office and Precinct 3 that has al-
ways existed between the Lubbock of-
fice and the northern one-third of
Lynp County-Lynn County has nev-
er h ad a District office. Mr. Thomp-
son ;ilso serves as the Lynn and Lub-
bock County's Secretary.
There will be no change in the
Crosby County Committee. These
committeemen are to be commended
for their unselfish efforts in behalf of
the people in Precinct 3. Through
their efforts and support, the Crosby
County taxpayers have received from
the District: (1) the guidelines (8 maps
and tables) for claiming the cost-in-
wat r depletion, income-tax allowance;
(2) .in expansion of the water-level
observation well program; (3) a chem-
ical quality of water monitoring pro-
grawm; (4) all wells were located on
maps, in order to recognize their exis-
tence at the time Precinct 3 joined the
District; (5) the economic and physi-
cal protection provided by equitable
well spacing; (6) an official body
speaking and working for the preser-
vati n of the principles of private own-
ersh p of groundwater; (7) and other
ser ces.Page 2

Mr. Collard was active in civic af-
fairs, a director of the YMCA and
Kids Incorporated. He founded the

Association.
Aquifer Modeling.. .
-continued from page 1
This example recharge problem was
discussed regarding its accuracy and
the model's potential for predicting
the aquifer response to artificial re-
charge schemes.
The methodology being used by the
District in attempting to determine
more nearly precise pumpage figures
was presented by Albert W. Sechrist.
Also discussed was the remaining
effort to conclude the research project.
The model will be revised to consider
possible improvements as suggested
during the meeting and to include re-
vised and additional data. Other work
necessary to complete the research
project includes preparation of an an-
nual report by July 1 and the final
project report by August 1.
The Tech-District Aquifer-model
research project is funded by a
$98,578.00 grant from the Office of
Water Resources Research (OWRR),
United States Department of Interior,
to Texas Tech and the District.
Dr. H. Garland Hershey is the
Director of OWRR. Dr. Edward
Altouney, OWRR Water Research
Scientist is coordinating the Tech-
District research within OWRR.
