BULLETIN/ 648, U. S. DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE. 



Two- thirds of the value of the food grown consists of animal 

 products. On the small farms nearly two-thirds of the animal 

 products come from swine, but as the farms increase in size dairy and 

 poultry products find a more important place. Likewise, vegetables, 

 fruits, and nuts are of more importance on the larger farms. Other 

 products, consisting principally of corn meal and sirup, occupy a 

 relatively more important place in the diet on the smaller farms. 



By reference to figure 13 it is seen that swine products and dairy 

 products each constitute more than one-fourth of the total value of 

 family food furnished by the farm, while vegetables make up one- 

 sixth of the total, miscellaneous products slightly more than one- 

 tenth, poultry and eggs nearly a like .amount, and fruit and nuts one- 

 twentieth. 



The quantities and the values per farm and per person are shown 

 in detail in Table XV for each item of food, both purchased and fur- 

 nished by the farm.
