A general resume of the average quantities of eacli article of food 

 consumed per person and per family for all the families visited is given 

 in Table XVIII. There is considerable difference between the diets 

 of the families in the Southern States and those in the Northern and 

 Western States. The southern families, for instance, use large quan- 

 tities of buttermilk and sweet potatoes and relatively less of whole 

 milk and Irish potatoes. This table, therefore, is divided iijto 2 

 groups, separating the averages of the families in the 3 Southern 

 and those in the 11 Northern and Western States. It shows the 

 relative importance of each item of food in the average family's 

 annual total food consumption; the per cent bought and that fur- 

 nished by the farm is also shown for each article of food.
