RELATION OF SIZE OF FARM TO CAPITAL AND INCOME. 
Table IX shows the amount of capital invested on farms of vari- 
ous sizes, and shows also the farm income and labor income. The 
farm income increases with the size. The labor income similarly in- 
creases with the size of the farm. There is an exception in the 
group of farms of from 301 to 500 acres. There falls into this 
group a large number of farms classified as “ general mixed farms ” 
(see p. 18), which stand between the types specializing in either to- 
bacco or live stock, and which are the least efficient of all types. (See 
also Table X.)
