$0 and $1,000. There were more who made over $1,000 than there 
were who failed to make any family income. 
The owners of the 246 farms realized on the investment in real 
estate an average of 6.6 per cent. Sixteen landlords made over 15 per 
cent on their investment in real estate, and of these 13 were owners 
of early- truck farms let for half of the crops, one of a farm let for a half 
of the crops and of milk receipts, and two of farms let for a share other 
than a half. 
In Table XVI is shown the variation in the interest realized on the 
value of real estate by the owners of 246 New Jersey tenant truck 
farms.

The greatest range of interest realized on investment in real estate 
is shown in the group of farms growing early truck and let for half 
of the crops. The great variation in this group is partly explained 
by the large expense for fertilizer and manure, amounting on the 
average to $722, which expense is not always compensated by a 
corresponding income from the crops produced. Comparative 
stability in respect to the interest realized on real estate is shown 
by the group of 96 farms growing late truck and let for half of the 
crops, 58 per cent of the landlords in this group receiving between 
5 and 10 per cent. Sixty per cent of the landlords renting their 
farms for cash realized an income on their investment in real estate 
of between and 5 per cent.
