CONSUMPTION OF INDIVIDUAL FOOD ITEMS. 
Table XV gives the average annual consumption per person and per 
family, with the quantity furnished by the farm and quantity bought, 
of practically all food items used by the families. It presents the 
details on which the generalized data in the other tables are based. 
In the other tables quantities are represented by values, because the 
difference in the common units for the various items makes value 
the only common basis of comparison. Table XV, however, gives 
the quantities in units which represent exactly the same volume in 
all sections, making the data comparable one section with another. If 
the reader is interested in the consumption of any particular article, 
or group of articles, this table will give him the desired information.
