i One farm had no truck crops in 1913, but is included here for the reason that it usually grows such crops 
and is organized on that basis. 
The value of truck crops per acre is greater on the early-truck 
farms than on the late-truck farms, but the value of nontruck crops 
per acre is greater on the late-truck farms. Of the two groups of 
farms let for a half share of the crops, on the early-truck farms the 
value of the nontruck crops is 17 per cent of the value of all crops 
and 47 per cent on the late-truck farms. The small production of 
nontruck crops on the early- truck farms tends to limit the animals 
that may profitably be kept in addition to the work stock. Manure 
is even more essential to profitable farming on the early-truck farms 
than on the late-truck farms, so that, while the latter with an average 
of 12.1 cows per farm depend largely on manure produced on the 
farm, the former with an average of 3.1 cows depend almost entirely 
upon purchased stable manure. 
EARLY-TRUCK FARMS LET FOR HALF OF THE CROPS. 
The customary arrangement on these farms is for the tenant to 
furnish all the work stock, productive stock, tools, machinery, and
