Data on the cost of *Food, fuel, and house rent to farm families 
on 950 farms in 1913 and 1914 were collected in 14 localities in as 
many States. The Cotton Belt is represented by localities in North 
Carolina, Georgia, and Texas; the Corn Belt by localities in Ohio, 
Iowa, and Kansas, where the production of hogs is important. A 
locality each in Vermont, New York, and Wisconsin represents dairy 
farming, and one in Pennsylvania represents general farming with 
small dairies. Market gardening, or trucking, is represented by a 
locality in New Jersey; extensive grain farming by one in North 
Dakota; fruit growing under irrigation by one in California; and in a 
locality in Maine the combination of apple growing, dairying, and 
sweet corn production for canning prevails.
