Fig. 111. — The avonipp value of farms, including bnihlinKs, machinery, and live stock, 

 in the prairie portion of the Corn Kelt and tlie southern part of the Sprinjr Wlicat 

 Region is about .?4(>,000. The high values shown in western Texas and northern Nevada 

 are mostly of cattle ranches, which are few in numlwr and larfre in area, often in<luding 

 thousands of acres of arid range. In central and southern California, on tlie other hand, 

 many of the high-priced farms are small. Init. consist of expensive orchards, or of heaa 

 or sugar-beet land. The very low-priced farms shown in the eastern Cotton Itelt are, 

 in large part, small cropper or tenant holdings in plantations. The light areas in Ken- 

 tucky and Tennessee represent poor mountain farms.
