1 Represents the per cent the labor income each year was of the seven-year average ($276= 100). 
Following the labor incomes of each farmer over the seven-year 
period, it is seen that 9 of the 25 farmers made a labor income every 
year after paying all other expenses (in other words they had plus 
labor incomes each year); 6 farmers had labor incomes for six of 
the seven years, and so on. One farmer failed to make a labor 
income in any of the seven years. 
The $1,000 labor income mark was reached only in an occasional 
year and then by only a few farmers. Not a farmer reached $1,000 
labor income every year. ‘Two farmers had better than $1,000 labor 
income for two years, and three farmers for one year. 
Ten of the 25 farmers did not reach a $500 labor income in any 
year and but 1 had over $500 every year. For the seven-year aver- 
age, only 4 farmers exceeded a $500 labor income; that of 7 ranged — 
from $300 to $500; that of 10 others was between $1 and $300,. 
while 4 failed to make 5 per cent on capital, with no returns for their 
own labor outside of the farm-furnished supplies. The four last men- 
tioned had seven-year average minus labor incomes. 
Comparing the labor income returned on these farms each year 
with the value each farmer placed upon his labor for each year, it is 
found that one-fourth of the farmers got what they considered fair
