4 BULLETIN 411, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
farms include 112 farms from which the sales of late tomatoes and 
white potatoes were exceeded by the sales of other truck crops. The 
late-truck farms include the 134 farms from which the sales of late 
tomatoes and white potatoes exceeded the sales of other truck crops. 
This method of separation places almost all the farms on the light 
soils among those classed as early-truck farms and almost all those 
on the heavier soils among the late-truck farms. 
The most common method of letting land to tenants was found to 
be for half of the crops. Of 246 farms, 186 were let for half of the 
crops, 12 for half of the crops and half of the milk, 13 for a share 
other than half, and 35 for a cash rental. In Table II the farms are 
classified according to the type of farming and the method of renting.

ACREAGES AND VALUES OF CROPS. 
Among both cash and share rented farms the average farm is 
larger and the average acreage in such general crops as corn, wheat, 
and hay is larger on the late-truck farms than on the early-truck 
farms. These crops are grown more generally on late-truck farms 
than on farms of the other type. Tomatoes are grown almost uni- 
versally on farms of both types, although marketed differently on 
each. White potatoes are grown on half of the early-truck farms 
and in larger acreages on almost all the late-truck farms. Sweet 
potatoes are raised on but few farms of the latter type, but almost 
universally on the early-truck farms. On farms growing early truck, 
the more important truck crops, in addition to tomatoes, sweet 
potatoes, and white potatoes, are peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, 
asparagus, eggplants, and strawberries. In Table III is shown the 
distribution and value of the more important crops, classified by 
type of tenure and type of farming.
