Note.— Apparent discrepancies in the items "Increase in feed inventory," "decrease in work animals," 
" Receipts— Total," and " Expenses— Total " in the three columns of averages in this table are due to the 
fact that in some of the years there were decreases in feed inventory and increases in work animals; e. g., 
the increases in feed inventory in 1910 and 1913 equal $88 and the decreases in 1914 and 1915 equal $58. 
The net increase in 1910 and 1913-1915 equals $30, or $7 per year. The figures for "Increase in feed inven- 
tory," "Decrease in work animals," "Receipts— Total," and "Expenses— Total" in the three columns of 
averages were obtained as illustrated. 
Apparent discrepancies in the last unit of some of the averages in the tables in this bulletin are due to 
the fact that all computations on which the averages are based were carried to at least two more decimal 
places than shown. 
SIZE OF FARMS. 
The farms of this area were smaller than in many other parts of the 
Corn Belt, especially in parts farther west, and most of the 100 farms 
were operated as 1 or 2 man farms. Only about 15 per cent were 
larger than 180 acres, while about 45 per cent were of 100 acres or 
less, and 40 per cent were from 101 to 180 acres. (See Table 2.)
