types are found. One is the crop farm, where 50 per cent or over of 
the total farm receipts are derived from the sale of grain. The other 
type is the live-stock farm, where the farmer markets his crops 
largely through hogs, horses, and beef cattle (fig. 6). The number 
of men following each type will vary greatly in different years, ac- 
cording to the relative price of cattle and hogs (figs. 7, 8, and 9). 
One year’s results are altogether too few to form any substantial 
basis of comparison. The data are presented only to show the im- 
portance of the type of farming in relation to income. It is fully 
recognized that further studies in another year under different con- 
ditions might easily show results just the reverse of these in regard 
to the best paying type of farming. 
Fic, 6.—The type of hogs which are an important source of income on Iowa farms, 
Of the 273 farm owners 194 were classed as live-stock farmers 
and 79 as crop farmers. The average capital and income of each 
are given in Table XNITI.
