DISTRIBUTION OF INVESTMENTS.

particularly of supplies, should be taken on the same date. In this 

 study, except as affecting the percentages of the total investment 

 shown later, the c^uantity of supplies on hand is unimportant. 



Table IV shows the acre investment in the various classes of equip- 

 ment for 30 farms. With the exception of Nos. 5 and 1 1 all farms, 

 to and including No. 23, have also been included in tables showing the 

 division of investment by enterprises; hence, they are separated in 

 this table from those for which the data are less complete. Farms 

 5, 27, 28, and 30 had not been surveyed by the station surveyor up 

 to the time these data were compiled; hence, the acreages are only 

 approximate. For several farms the value of improvements was not 

 separated from that of the land for want of suflicient information. 

 The land value of such farms includes all permanent improvements 

 not otherwise shown. These incomplete data are presented for com- 

 parison with the mean and average for the 21 farms. While the data 

 for farms 24 and 25 were complete, they are excluded from the sum- 

 mary as not representative, the former because of the extremely low 

 investment and the latter because of the low acreage.
