BULLETIN 1338. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
The value of the family living from the farm varied with different 
families from nothing to over SI. ,000, and with wide variations in 
every locality. (See Table 3.) Occasional families neither lived on 
their farms nor drew any of their family living therefrom. This was 
most noticeable for the locality in Polk County, Fla., where about 40 
per cent of the citrus grove owners were nonresident, usually living 
in nearby towns or cities; and in Frederick County, Va., where a few 
of the orchardists lived in town. In all of the localities other than 
in Polk County, Fla., the value of the family living from the farm 
ranged from S2C-0 to S800 for 70 per cent or more of the families. 
More of the families in practically all of the localities under study 
in 1918 to 1920 were within a group ranging from S-400 to S600 worth 
of family living from the farm than there were within any other group. 
In 1921, in about half of the localities, more of the families were 
within the group ranging from $400 to S600 worth than within any 
other, while in the other half of the localities more of the families were 
within the group ranging from S200 to S-400 worth than within any 
other. In 1922, in practically all of the localities, more of the fam- 
ilies were within the two groups ranging from $200 to S600 worth of 
family living from the farm than there were within all other groups.
