Fig. 4. — This chart brings out the importance of the cotton crop as a source of income 

 to the farmers of Sumter County. In 1913 over 80 per cent of the money on these 

 farms came from sales of lint cotton and cotton seed, and in 1918 over 70 per cent. 

 Aside from cotton, the sale of corn and income from land rented out were in 1918 

 the only farm receipts exceeding 2 per cent of the total, while the sales of com, 

 peanuts, and hogs and income from rented-out land each exceeded this percentage 

 in 1918.

 various farm enterprises. Comparing these data for owners and 

 tenants it is seen that the most outstanding changes were effected on
