1 These figures are only approximate, for the acreages vary slightly from year to year. 

 - Includes either Japanese or Hungarian millet on a few farms. 



3 On the Jones and the Ames farms, respectively, a small area out of the tilled land is 

 used for potatoes. 



4 Includes 50 acres of permanent pasture. 



5 On all except the Wilson farm other cereal crops than corn are used for hay or silage. 

 On the Wilson farm they are cut for grain. 



6 All corn raised is for silage except on the Avery farm, where corn is raised for grain, 

 and figures there apply only to winter feeding.

 be rather slight.
