...made from the actual payroll records. Secondly, my studies are specifically for the grape and lettuce workers in California, your studies are national averages of all farmworkers. About your $10.90 figure, the study does not make it clear whether it does include piece rates. But in the particular chart to which you refer, the greatest number of farmworkers, 38 per cent, are in the last column marked simply "over 13.00" which would not contradict my figures, especially since $10.90 is the median and not the average.

...rise in the purchase price of the average U.S. house (see chart preceding page) only begins to measure how expensive home ownership is becoming; mortgage interest rates, utility bills and property taxes are climbing even faster. As every homeowner knows, the key figure in determining whether a house can be afforded is the total of monthly payments-and in the past six years, the cash outlay needed to buy and maintain what is now a moderately priced house ($35,500) in a middle-class suburb has almost doubled.

Says a G.O.P. Congressman from New Jersey: "I think Republicans in each congressional district picked up 20,000 votes when Nixon resigned, and lost 10,000 when Ford pardoned...

...money-market watchers had been waiting for, and it triggered a boomlet of optimism. Treasury Secretary William Simon foresaw a "further decline" in short-term interest rates; since early September three-month Treasury bills have dropped from 9.3% to 7.6%, and there have been other declines as well (see chart). Chase Manhattan Chairman David Rockefeller and other bankers predicted that if this trend continues, the prime rate-the one charged to banks' most creditworthy customers-may well drop from 12% now to 10% by year...
