This chart does not present plus and minus quantities, but is, however, in bilateral bar chart form. It should be noted that the sum of the lengths of the bars on one side of the zero line is equal to the sum of the lengths of the bars on the other side. As a result, the scale might represent either percentages or "millions of acres."

The total length of each bar if measured on the per cent scale would be 100%. Thus this chart is merely a rearrangement of 100% bar charts. The reason for presenting it in this way was to emphasize the relation between public and private relief. Compare with 102 A and 14 SA. I9K)

Here again is a group of 100% bar charts.

Note that the two types of crosshatchtngs below the zero line are in the classification "unprofitable" while the two above the zero line are in the classification "profitable." The zero line might well be heavier to emphasize this division.
