A STUDY OF FARM EQUIPMENT IN OHIO. 



The percentage of the total investment represented by each class of 

 equipment is given in Table VI. The uniformity in the percentage 

 of value in land on farms 14 to 17 ($67.52, $61.10, $62.46, and $63.49, 

 respectively) and farms 20 to 23 ($49.36, $44.90, $44.80, and $45, 

 respectively) is interesting. The former are large level farms in the 

 southwestern quarter of the State and the latter are large hill farms 

 in the southeastern quarter. The influence of size of farm is to be 

 seen in farms 7 and 25, and of large building equipment on several 

 others already noted. 



Table VI. — Percentage of the total investment represented hy each class of equipment on 

 30 Ohio farms, u'ith the mean and the average for a group of 21 of these farms . 



• Nos. 5 and 11 omitted. 



The average land value for the State should be compared with the 

 total for land and all improvements except buildings on the 21 farms. 

 The mean of the 21 farms shows 55.9 per cent and the average 57.9 

 per cent in land, fences, drainage, and water supply as compared to 

 68.1 per cent for the State. The mean shows 21.7 per cent and the
