According to the 1910 census report the average farm 

 income from poultry products sold in the United States 

 was $92.39 on the basis of the total number of farms. (See 

 Table XLIII, Appendix.) On the basis of the total number 

 of farms reporting poultry the average farm income for the 

 United States is $104.98, or about $2 per bird. Figures are 

 not available which show what proportion of the average 

 total farm income the average poultry income is, but it is 

 reasonable to suppose it will generally be greatest in those 

 states whose average farm income from poultry is largest. 

 The ten states showing the largest average farm incomes 

 from poultry sold are listed according to their incomes in
