With $10,000 less invested than is shown by the owners operating 
only their own land, the labor income of these owners additional is 
over $250 greater than that of the farm owners. The average size 
of the farm owned was 105 acres, and 78 acres additional were rented. 
Where it is possible, this method permits a farmer to have a home 
of his own and at the same time a good-sized farm business with 
a comparatively small investment. It is an intermediate step be- 
tween tenant and owner. 
DISTRIBUTION OF FARM RECEIPTS. 
The farm receipts are derived mainly from crops and live stock. 
The proportion received from each varies with the method of opera- 
tion as to whether run by owner or tenant, as well as with the type 
of farming followed. In Indiana 48 per cent of the total income 
received by the owners was from the sale of live stock, while the ten- 
ants received only 36 per cent from this source. In Illinois cattle 
and hogs were fed in much larger numbers, the income of the owners 
from live stock being 60 per cent of the total receipts. On the ten- 
ant farms 50 per cent of the receipts was from the sale of crops and 
36 per cent from the sale of stock. 
In Table IX the distribution of the receipts for both owners and 
tenants 1s given.
