Fig. 5.— The value of the familvl iving from the farm for the different families in a locality varied accord- 
ingto the size of the families. The data from 125 farms in Frederick County, Va., for the year 1918 
of 7.0 and more adult units in a locality averaged more dollars' worth 
of family living from the farm than those of less than 3.0 adult units 
is to be found in Table 8, and in this instance only one family was 
represented in the large family group 
Considering only the groups in Table 8 with 10 farms or more, an 
increase in the size of family in a given locality was accompanied 
by an increase in the average value oi the family living from the farm 
164 out of 189 times. (See fig. 5.)
