Southern States on the Atlantic coast (South Atlantic) ; 57.89 

 per cent in the remaining Southern States (South Central) ; 41.97 

 per cent in the Western states, including and extending from Ohio 



: ward to and including Kansas, and including all of the states 

 northward of this line (North Central) ; and tenancy is represented 

 by 45.83 per cent in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific-coast 



>ns. 



With respect to farm tenancy the influence of the South upon 

 the average for the United States is very great, because in the 

 South Atlantic States the tenant farmers are 45.84 per cent of the . 

 total number of farm families, and in the South Central States 

 48.27 per cent; while in the North Atlantic States they are 



;5 per cent, in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states 18.91 

 per cent, and in the North Central States 26.49 P er cent. 



The high home tenancy of the South is less influential upon the 



rage for the United States than the farm tenancy of that region 



In the South Atlantic States 73.1 1 per cent of the total num- 

 ber of home families are tenants ; in the South Central States 

 70.78 per cent. The average in the United States is 63.10 per 

 cent ; and this is exceeded in the North Atlantic States, where 

 the percentage is 67.02. If the low degree of home tenancy in 

 North Central States namely, 53.66 per cent were as 

 hi^h as it is in the North Atlantic States, fully two-thirds of 

 the home families would be tenants. The Rocky Mountain and 



.lie states have a degree of home tenancy (55.95 per cent) 

 a little higher than that which is found in the Njrth Central States.
