CONSUMPTION OF INDIVIDUAL FOOD ITEMS. 



Table XV gives the average annual consumption per person and per 

 family, with the quantity furnished by the farm and quantity bought, 

 of practically all food items used by the families. It presents the 

 details on which the generalized data in the other tables are based. 

 In the other tables quantities are represented by values, because the 

 difference in the common units for the various items makes value 

 the only common basis of comparison. Table XV, however, gives 

 the quantities in units which represent exactly the same volume in 

 all sections, making the data comparable one section with another. If 

 the reader is interested in the consumption of any particular article, 

 or group of articles, this table will give him the desired information.
