Sec. 211.21  Evidence to be submitted by claimant.

    (a) All claims must be substantiated by competent evidence. If the 
claim is for rent or other payment the claimant should furnish evidence 
as to the value of the property, income from the property if previously 
rented, or rental value of similar property in the vicinity. If the 
property is under a formal lease to the Government, the claimant should 
identify the lease and state the covenants of the lease upon which he 
predicates his claim. Where the claim is for damage to the property 
which has been or can be economically repaired the claimant should 
submit in triplicate an itemized signed statement or estimate of the 
cost of repairs and copies of itemized receipts, evidencing payment for 
any expenditures made in relation to the property for which 
reimbursement is claimed.
    (b) In support of claims for damage to crops the claimant should 
submit a statement showing the number of acres, or other unit measure of 
crops damaged, the normal yield per unit, the gross amount which would 
have been realized from normal yield, and an estimate of the further 
cost of cultivation, harvesting and marketing; if the crops are one 
which need not be planted each year, the diminution in value of the land 
beyond the damage to the current year's crop should also be stated. All 
such statements or estimates should, if possible, be by disinterested 
competent witnesses, preferably responsible dealers of the type of 
property damaged.
