land rented. Nearly a half comes from the sale of crops, almost a 
fourth from stock and stock products, 5 per cent from miscellaneous 
(largely outside labor), and nearly a fourth from increase of inven- 
tory, about two-fifths of which are due to new machinery and im- 
provements. Excluding the last item, the receipts on all 97 farms 
average $2,049 per farm, of which 51.2 per cent comes from crops, 
5.1 per cent from stock, 21.7 per cent from stock products, 5.8 per cent 
from miscellaneous, and 16.2 per cent from inventory increase due 
solely to farm activities.
