The total wealth in the form. of

S2.1 per cent is coptTibuted by lands
| and buildings. 81 per cent by nipple
! ments and machinery, and 1872 per
cent by live stock.
The value of land and buildings
is $685., $4,000, showing an increase
of $255,454,OOO, or 66.3 per cent since
1900. In 1880, the value was 1929 ,299.-
000
In 1910, the total number of farms
owned in whole or in part by the oper-
ators was 170,332. OF this number,
1885 were reported as free from
mortgage; 33,039 were reported as
mortgaged, and 1,7SS no report rela-
live to mortgage Indebtedness was OBJ
tanned. The number of mortgaged
farms constituted 1916 per cent of the
total number of owned farms, eXciu-
sive of those for which no mortgage

were tenants, while of the foreign
born, only 1874 per cent We're tenants.
Among non-white farmers, the tenants
constituted nearly one-half (49.1 per
cent? of the total number.
The average size of a Kentucky
farm decreased continuously from
226.7 acres in 1850 to the $50 acres in
1910, which is at an average rate of
nearly "a acres for each decade. The
decrease during the last decade. how.
ever, was only 81 acres"
