The returns of the agricultural instructor indicated that the number 

 of farms on the home-project list were higher in the West than in the 

 East, the average for the West North Central States being 33 per 

 agricultural instructor, 8 more than the maximum allowed under 

 the Massachusetts system. These returns indicated that not all of 

 the pupils in the agricultural instructor's class in the North Central 

 States were on his home-project list. In some instances the agri- 

 cultural instructor had as many as 130 pupils in his classes. In the 

 following table are shown the number of schools reporting and not 

 reporting home projects and the average number of home projects 

 per school:
