THE HARVEST VALUE OF CROPS 
The census reports the value of crops 
grown 
on crop 
land, but does not report the value of pasture growth. If the 
value of plant growth on one type of farm is to be compared 
with the value of plant growth on another type of farm, pas- 
ture must be included. Furthermore, the value assigned to 
pasture growth must be comparable with the value assigned 
to crop growth. Since the census gives to crops what might 
be termed a harvest value (Table 17), it will be necessary 
to compute a similar value for pasture (Table 18). In com- 
puting the so-called harvest value of pasture it was assumed 
that the acreage of pasture per farm multiplied by the average 
value of all land would give a fair index to the total value 
of pasture land, and that 5 per cent of the total would not 
be far from the actual harvest value of pasture per farm. 
If it had been possible, however, the average value of pas- 
ture land would have been used in the place of the average 
value of all land and 7 1 •_> per cent (three times what is approxi- 
mately the actual rent) would have been used in the place of 
5 per cent.
