1 One farm had no truck crops in 1913, but is included here for the reason that it usually grows such crops 

 and is organized on that basis. 



The value of truck crops per acre is greater on the early-truck 

 farms than on the late-truck farms, but the value of nontruck crops 

 per acre is greater on the late-truck farms. Of the two groups of 

 farms let for a haK share of the crops, on the early-truck farms the 

 value of the nontruck crops is 17 per cent of the value of all crops 

 and 47 per cent on the late-truck farms. The small production of 

 nontruck crops on the early- truck farms tends to limit the animals 

 that may profitably be kept in addition to the work stock. Manure 

 is even more essential to profitable farming on the early-truck farms 

 than on the late-truck farms, so that, while the latter with an average 

 of 12.1 cows per farm depend largely on manure produced on the 

 farm, the former with an average of 3.1 cows depend almost entirely 

 upon purchased stable manure. 



EARLY-TRUCK FARMS LET FOR HALF OF THE CROPS. 



The customary arrangement on those farms is for the tenant to 

 furnish all the work stock, productive stock, tools, machinery, and
