In general, the value of the family living from the farm was more 
for the large farms of a locality than for the small farms. The average

Fig. 4.— The value of the family living from the farm was usually more from the large farms of a locality 
than from the small farms. Data from 209 farms in Tama County, Iowa, for the year 1918 
in any locality was more, in most cases, than in the group of next 
smaller-sized farms. Considering only the groups in Table 7 with 
10 farms or more, an increase in the size of farm in a given locality 
was accompanied by an increase in the average value of the family 
living from the farm 104 out of 116 times. There is a relationship 
between the family living from the farm in a locality and the size 
of the farms (see fig. 4), but no more marked than that between the 
family living from the farm and the size of the farm families.
