conducted, both receipts and the percentage of these receipts required 
to meet business expenses are larger than on farms of other types _ 
found in this survey, the expenses amounting to 48.7 per cent of the 
receipts. | | 
Table LI shows in detail the nature and relative amount of expend- _ 
itures for different purposes on owner farms of different sizes and on 
tenant and special farms. The data for tenant farms are given in _ 
the fourth column from tke last in such manner as to include both _ 
tenants’ and landlords’ expenses, leaving out the rent paid by the — 
tenant. In the third column from the last the average expenditures 
of the landlords for the entire number of tenant farms is given. The 
second column from the last gives the expenses of cash tenants, in- 
cluding rent. The last column gives the expenses of share tenants, 
not including rent. On owner and tenant farms the largest single 
item of expense is for hired labor, this item being slightly greater on 
owner than on tenant farms. The owner operator, having both labor 
and capital income, can afford to hire a greater proportion of his 
labor, although, on the average, owner farms are smaller than the 
tenant farms in this region.
