1 Represents the percentage the labor income each year is of the 7-year average ($558.= 100). 



of the latter realized no labor income outside of the farm, supplies 

 furnished the family, and received less than 5 per cent interest on the 

 capital. 



Thirty-two per cent of these farmers realized in labor income every 

 year as much or more than they valued their labor to be worth in 

 addition to the farm-furnished supplies, and 41 per cent about hah 

 of the years. 



In 1910, 41 of these 100 farmers made in labor income what they 

 considered their labor worth in addition to food, fuel, and house rent; 

 39 in 1913; 25 in 1914; 43 in 1915; 73 in 1916; 56 in 1917; and 81 

 in 1918. 



From Table VII it will be noted that 60 of the 100 farmers made 

 over 5 per cent interest on capital, after deducting conservative 

 charges for their own labor and management, and that but 10 of 

 these received over 8 per cent. Only 2 farmers made better than 5 

 per cent every year.
