The receipts amount to $17.70 per acre of improved land. Receipts from the 
dairy are greater than from any other one source, being 43 per cent of the total. 
Receipts from the four other major sources were pretty evenly distributed..- 
The selection and proportioning of crops were similar to the common diversi- 
fied farms. It then may be classified as a diversified dairy farm. 
Expenses: Expenses were $952, or about 40 per cent of receipts. 
This farm was well organized for the general dairy type of farm- 
ing in this locality. About 43 per cent of the total receipts were 
from dairy cows. The balance of receipts was well distributed to 
crops and the various kinds of live stock found to be profitable here. 
This distribution shows proper diversity. 
Receipts per cow were $103, showing good quality for the dairy 
business. About an equal amount of receipts were from market 
milk and butter. The average for 24 dairy farms was $88.50 per 
cow. 
Crop yields were about normal, and the proportioning of crops and 
live stock conformed fairly well to standards set by the more suc- 
cessful farms in the community. However, if this land had been a 
general diversified dairy farm there should have been about 14 acres 
of tobacco instead of 7, and about 30 acres of corn instead of 40. 
Both man and horse labor were well utilized. The farm was much 
better stocked than the average. There were 5.6 acres of improved 
land to each 1,000 pounds of animals. The average of 342 farms 
was 20.5 acres per 1,000 pounds of animals. Fifty-four farms, show- 
ing less than 10 acres of improved land per 1,000 pounds of animals, 
had an average labor income of $621, or nearly twice that of the 
average farm.
