The tenants on the larger farms also make considerably more than 

 those on small farms. The size of farm does not seem to affect the land- 

 lord's profit.

Fig. 1.— The larger farms pay much better than the smaller ones. 



Table 2 shows similar results for Livingston county. Again the 

 largest farms pay much better than the small ones. One might think 

 that the farmers on the small farms could not own more land if they 

 desired. But from table 2 it will be seen that no larger proportion of 

 the small farms are mortgaged than of the large ones. Most of the farm- 

 ers on the small farms could own more land if they wished to go in debt 

 for it.
