THE RESULTS OF INTERIOR COLONIZATION IN FINLAND

The total value of the machines and implements increased on an aver- 

 age during the period of enquiry by 264 Finnish marks for each single lot 

 or by 23.43 Finnish marks for a hectare. 



If the various values of the capital in machines and implements in 

 the investigated lots be compared with the size of the holdings, it appears 

 that such capital is notably greater in the larger than in the smaller of 

 these ; yet when the average for a single hectare of arable and meadowland 

 is calculated there is no great difference in value to be observed. These 

 facts appear from the following table : 



Average Cask value of Machines and Implements according to the Size of the 

 Colonists' Lots and for 1 hectare of Arable and Meadowland.
