C Land values are high for farming purposes. In most instances 5 per cent of this value exceeds the renting value of the farms. The landlords of the rented farms realized an average of only 2. 9 per cent on investment. Twenty to thirty per cent of the crop area is double cropped. Labor incomes are materially increased by double-cropping, since thus the same equipment handles more acres of crops than in single cropping and the production per acre is increased. Double-cropping is equivalent to increasing the average of cropped land. Intensive farming 1s necessary for success on small farms. The farm produce is disposed of by hauling it to the city and sell ing it either at the public market stands (wholesale or retail) or through commission-men.
