Fig. 7.— The labor incomes of 25 farmers, Palmer township, Washington County, Ohio, 1912-1918. Each 

 dot in this figure represents the labor income of one farmer. The farmers shown in the shaded area of the 

 chart had only the food products, fuel and house rent for their year's labor, and less than 5 per cent on 

 their investment. The white dots below the shaded area represent farmers whose losses were in excess 

 of average value of supplies furnished by the farm for family use. (Fig. 7 is drawn on the same scale 

 as fig. 13 and fig. 19 in order that some comparison of the profits in the three areas may be made.)
