conducted, both receipts and the percentage of these receipts required 

 to meet business expenses are larger than on farms of other types 

 found in this survey, the expenses amounting to 48.7 per cent of the 

 receipts. 



Table LI shows in detail the nature and relative amount of expend- 

 itures for different purposes on owner farms of different sizes and on 

 tenant and special farms. The data for tenant farms are given in 

 the fourth column from the last in such manner as to include both 

 tenants' and landlords' expenses, leaving out the rent paid by the 

 tenant. In the third column from the last the average expenditures 

 of the landlords for the entire number of tenant farms is given. The 

 second column from the last gives the expenses of cash tenants, in- 

 cluding rent. The last column gives the expenses of share tenants, 

 not including rent. On owner and tenant farms the largest single 

 item of expense is for hired labor, this item being slightly greater on 

 owner than on tenant farms. The owner operator, having both labor 

 and capital income, can afford to hire a greater proportion of his 

 labor, although, on the average, owner farms are smaller than the 

 tenant farms in this region. .
