grown, but none is of great importance. Table III shows the dis- 
tribution of the various farm crops on 300 owner farms and 153 tenant 
farms in Lenawee County. It likewise shows the same data as gath- 
ered on all farms of the county in the census of 1910. It will be 
observed that in a general way the data correspond very closely. 
Figure 5 shows graphically the percentage of the total crop area which 
each crop occupies and the average per farm on these same farms.
