Owing to the considerable capital value of the farms in this area, 
the farm income was much higher than the labor income, the dif- 
ference between these two representing 5 per cent interest on the 
farm capital. Because of the difference between the farm income 
and the labor income, considerable money was available for family 
use and payment of interest on any indebtedness, even in a year of 
very low labor income. The most striking illustration of this was 
in 1914, when the labor income was only $44, and the farm income, 
$1,330. 
The variations of each of these forms of earnings for the differ- 
ent farms for each year are illustrated in Tables 36, 37, and 38.
