Judging by the figures in Table 16 the amount spent for all purposes 
and the proportion devoted to advancement both tend to increase 
with the extent of education received by the heads of a family. In ~ 
order to test this point further, records dos 128 farms ranging from 
100 to 149 acres in size were selected and used in correlating the extent 
of education received by operators and home makers, not only with 
the total expenditures per cost-consumption unit and the proportion 
devoted to advancement but also with the value of the house, the 
value of house furnishings, and the size of the farm business as 
measured by acres operated, capital invested, and work units 
employed.
