BULLETIN 1258, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
furnished an appreciable part of the working capital, particularly that 
represented by livestock other than work animals. 
All tenant farms were included in Table 50, but in Tables 57 and 
58 data are shown for the two prevailing forms of rental separately — 
that of a half share of crops, and that of a half share of crops and live- 
stock. (See Tables 59 and 60 for statements in more condensed form 
for each year.) These data bring out that farms which were rented 
for half the crops and livestock were on the average considerably 
larger than those which were rented for half of crops only. Renting 
for a half share of crops and livestock also enabled tenants to operate 
larger farms with given amounts of capital, in that they furnished 
only part of the working capital (the landlords furnishing part), 
while when renting for a half share of crops the tenants furnished all the 
working capital.
