FARM INCOME 
For all of the farms shown in Table 6 the value of the family 
living from the farm was, on the average, approximately one-third 
as large as the farm income, the latter representing the difference 
between the farm receipts and the farm expenses. In some of the 
localities the value of the family living from the farm amounted to 
more than as much as the farm income. These instances, however, 
usually occurred in the years 1921 or 1922, years when the farm 
receipts were usually so much less than in the more prosperous years 
1918 and 1919. 
Comparisons of the family living from the farm in relation to the 
farm income should be made for those localities in which data were 
obtained both in 1918 or 1919 and in 1921 or 1922. The value of 
the family living from the farm was generally larger relative to the 
farm income in 1921 or 1922 than in 1918 or 1919, principally because 
of the lower farm incomes, the value of the family living from the 
farm showing less change than the farm income from the earlier to 
the later years. An exception is found in Hillsboro County, Fla., 
where the truck farmers had almost as large farm incomes in 1922 as 
in 1919. The relation between the value of the family living from 
the farm and the farm receipts did not change so much from 1918 
and 1919 to 1921 and 1922 as did the relation between the value of 
the -family living from the farm and the farm income. Receipts fell 
off sharply, while expenses in some of the localities increased, thus 
leaving wider percentage variations in the farm income. 
As with the farm receipts, the value of the family living from the 
farm in relation to the farm income varied more with the different
