is now (1924) somewhat less than in 1919. 
The capital represented in the farm business in this area, although 
less per farm than in some other parts of the United States, was con- 
siderably more than the average capital for all farms in the country. 
The average value per farm of all farm property of the United States, 
as reported by the 1910 census, was $6,444; and by the 1920 census, 
$12,084. See Table 3 1 for the average capital per farm for a few areas 
of the United States where investigations similar to this were made 
for the year 1918.
