land rented. Nearly a half comes from the sale of crops, almost a 
fourth from stock and stock products, 5 per cent from miscellaneous 
(largely outside labor), and nearly a fourth from increase of inven- 
tory, about two-fifths of which are due to new machinery and im- 
provements. Excluding the last item, the receipts on all 97 farms 
average $2,049 per farm, of which 51.2 per cent comes from crops, 
5.1 per cent from stock, 21.7 per cent from stock products, 5.8 per cent 
from miscellaneous, and 16.2 per cent from inventory increase due 
solely to farm activities.

Table 7 presents the distribution of crop receipts on the various 
farm types. It is evident that fruit is an important crop. The 
receipts for fruit per farm are $387, or 36.9 per cent of the crop 
receipts. The small owners go in relatively more heavily for fruit 
than any of the others. Fruit is nearly as important in the second 
group of this table as in the first, but in the third group it becomes
