The variations in amounts of capital employed on each of the 100 
farms for each year are shown in Table 32. Note that 61 of the 100 
farm businesses had capital of less than $20,000 in 1910, and only 
27 had less than that in 1919; that 86 were capitalized at less than 
$30,000 in 1910, against 57 in 1919; and that only 3 were capitalized 
at over $50,000 in 1910, against 14 in 1919; which illustrates the 
decided increase in farm capital from 1910 to 1919.

FARM RECEIPTS. 
Of the 8-year average farm receipts, 37 per cent were from the 
sales of crops, 61 per cent from sales of livestock products and net 
sales and inventory increases of livestock, and 2 per cent from other 
sources. (See fig. 4.) The sales of corn, oats, and wheat made up 
33 per cent of the total farm receipts, and 90 per cent of the total 
crop sales. The receipts from hogs amounted to 41 per cent of the 
total farm receipts and 67 per cent of the receipts from livestock 
and livestock products; the receipts from cattle were 10 per cent of 
the total farm receipts and 16 per cent of the receipts from livestock 
and livestock products; the receipts from poultry and eggs were 4 
per cent of the total farm receipts and 7 per cent of the receipts 
from livestock and livestock products; and the sales of dairy prod- 
ucts were almost 4 per cent of the total farm receipts and 6 per cent 
of the receipts from livestock and livestock products. Receipts from
