Considering the least efficient third of the farms in each size group, 

 efficiency increased from 108 work units per man in the small-farm 

 group to 220 in the large-farm group. The change in average labor in- 

 comes was about $700. The most efficient third in each size group 

 changed from 220 work units per man to 387, and the average labor 

 income diiference was $1,116. With efficient labor, a large sized busi- 

 ness becomes increasingly important.
