Washington, Oklahoma. and Texas.
The farms of Tennessee, June /, 1900
numbered 24,623, and we're valued at
$265, $50, $50. OF this amount, S63, 136,960
or 2S.S per cent. represents the value OF
buildings, and s202,013 .79O, or 1872 per
cent, the value of the land and improve
ments other than buildings. On the
same date the value of farm implements
and machinery was SIS, ,2S2,670, and OF
live stock, s60,s1S.60 These values
added to that of farms, give S341, ,202, OPS
the total value of farm property
The products derived from domestic
animals. poultry. and bees, including an
imals sold and animals slaughtered on
farms, are referred to in this bulletin
as animal products" The total value
OF such products. together with the val
ue of all crops, is termed total value
Of farm products" This value for 1893
was s106, ,166. .440. of which amount $685.
421, ,19S, or 1874 per cent, represents the
value of animal products, and $50 745, ,242
or 66.6 per cent. the value of crops. in
cluding forest products cut or produced
on farms. The total value of farm
products for 1899 is approximate
twice that for 1859, but part of this
increase is doubtless due to a more de-
tailed enumeration in 1900 than in 1890
Gross Farm Income.
The gross farm income" is obtained
by deducting the value of the product
81 tha bn
producers from the total value of farm
products. In 1899 the reported value OF
products fed was SIS, S,43o,310, leaving
ss7. 1876, 130 as the gross farm income for
that year. The ratio which this amount
bears TO the total value of farm prop
erty' is referred to in this bulletin as
the percentage of gross income upon
investment" For Tennessee in 1899 it
was 25.7 per cent.
The farms of Washington, June /,
1900. numbered 93,2O2. and were valued
at S115, 1903. no. OF this amount, &c.
300. or II per cent, represents the
value of buildings; and s99,310.510. or
S5.9 per cent, the value of the land and
improvements other than buildings On
ments and machinery was s6,271 $50,
and of live stock. S22,I59,207. These val
ues added to that of farms give S144,-
O4o, 547, the total value of farm prop
erty."
Value of Farm Products.
The total value of farm products for
1899 was s34, 1927, ,i95, of which amount
s11,295,3 ,345, or 32.4 per cent, represents
be value of animal products, and S23,-
532,150 or 67.6 per cent. the value OF
crops. including forest products cut or
produced on farms. The total value OF
farm products for 1899 exceeds that
for 1889 by s21, ,152. .565, or 154.7 per cent.
but part of this gain is doubtless due
to mere detailed enumeration in 1900
than IL 1890.
In 1899 the reported value of prod
ucts fed was s5,209, ,040, leaving $29,61S.-

S123ai1 .235. OF this amount, sI3.731. .5s5,
or Ill per cent, represents the value OF
buildings, and sl10, 209, $50, or $50 per
cent, the value of land and improve
ments other than buildings. On the
same date the value of farm implements
and machinery was s5.573, ,015, and of tive
stock. s54.s29.55S. These values, added
10 that OF farms. give 1898. .sis, the
total value o: farm property"

the value of animal products. and $26,-

crops, including forest products cut or
produced on farrps. The total value for
1899 exceeds that reported for 1883 by
:45 ,O07 1863, or more than one hundred
times.
In 1899 the reported value Of products
fed was ss.109 94s, leaving s37, ,337, 79S as

bered 352 100, and were valued at s69l,
1883. OF this amount. 800 ,222 Sll. or |
