it was found that board and lodging for each individual averaged $14.62 a month. But of this sum, it is inter- esting to note, the farmer paid out in cash only P per cent. Exclusive of lodging the board of the average hired man cost $10 month, but here again the farmer had only to pay $3. The remaining $7 was furnished by the farm as result presumably of the hired mans own efforts.
 The averages obtained as the result of this investigation are not of course to be taken as automatically exact for the entire country. In the opinion of agricultural experts, however, they point with convincing emphasis to the possibilities of comfort and prosperity that may be realized by fulled utili- Zation of all the farms resources.
 Cash crops are not the sole, and on the average they are not even the chief source of real income. It is really what the farm furnishes directly to the farmer that enables him to support his family. To increase the quanti- ty and quality of this direct supply is one great object of farm management studies.

ble or expense.
 Next to food, shelter is probably the most important necessity of life. In considering the farmers income, however, common error in the past has been to ignore the question of house rent. The value of the house has usually been included in the value of the land and the whole considered as capital invested on which interest must be paid before the farmer can be regarded as receiving any pay at all. This method, however, assumes that the farm family is to have shelter for nothing-an assumption which the city worker with whom it is not unu sual to pay out from one-third to one quarter of his entire wages for rent alone would regard as most astonish- ing.
 According 70 the recent investiga- ton, if the average farmer had to pay rent his home would cost him $125 a year. This figure represents ten per cent of the value of the average house. Including interest, depreciation and re- pairs, this is regarded as fair rental charge for the class of houses usual ly found on the farm.
 With the information at their com mand, the investigators were also in position to compute the average cost of board and lodging on the farm. In this way they included an item very easily forgotten-the value of the house work performed by members of the family. This was reckoned on the basis of the wages that would have had to be paid for hired assistance. Including this with the more obvious charges for food, fuel, light, and rent,
