THE GEORGIA FARMERS LIVING.

Georgia area consumed, annually. |
S480.45, of which $376.O3 or 1873
per cent was furnished directly by
the farm. With the exception of
North Carolina, in no other area
was the proportion of homegrown
food so great. In New York for
example it was only one-half, and
the general average for all the
areas was only IS per cent. This
accounts for the tact that although
the Georgia family had only half
as much money to spend on food
or at least spent only half as much
as in Texas, the individual had
practically as much to eat.
By raising vegetables for home
consumption the Georgia family
materially reduced its grocery bill.
In money value vegetables formed
l7.2 per cent of the family diet.
groceries 21.1, whereas in Vermont
these percentages were 1915 and
81 respectively and in Ohio rs
and 25.5. The Georgia farmers al
SO ground part of their corn in
to meal, thereby doing away with
the necessity of purchasing much
-four and still further reducing the
cash outlay.
Of animal products the Georgia
families consumed the average
quantity, raising 94.3 per cent on
the farm. Per person they con-
sumed more poultry than in any
other area except Kansas but their
use of eggs was comparatively
limited, using only 1856 dozen in a
year for each person as compared
with So dozen in Iowa and 43 doz
Ell in Kansas. Practically all Of
their milk they churned whole so
that the amount of fresh milk
drunk in a year was negligible.
while the consumption of butter
milk reached the enormous quanti-
ty of 105 gallons per person a year
Outside of the southern States
such free use Of huttermilk was
unknown in the areas studied.
Very little meat was bought and
no fuel at all, the farm furnishing
on the average $51. so of the latter.
Altogether the average Georgia
farm supplied its occupants with
the equivalent in food, fuel and
shelter of $519,63, a greater sum
than was the case in any other
area included in the investigation,
and nearly $500 above the general
average of $421. II. In consequence
the family was compelled to buy
only $110 more of these necessities
and was able to enjoy the use of
$500 Of them. This total is inferior
only to Iowa, where the average
was S668 and New York where it
was $641. On the other hand the
cash outlay of $110 in Georgia was
the smallest of any excepting North
Carolina. From these and similar
statistics published in Farmers

This is the lowest of all the re-
suits obtained from similar sur
veys made in areas in Vermont,
New York, Ohio, pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Texas,
and North Carolina, the average
for all these areas being Sl76. The
Georgia families, however, were
large and the total expenditures
for labor and rent we're therefore
divided among a number of per-,
sons. But even if the family and
not the individual, be taken as the
unit for comparison, these items
are noticeably low.
Because the great bulk of The

quently omitted in estimating the
farmers income. This however is
hardly Just. Had the members of
the family done the work for some
body else they would have been
paid for it, and if it had been per-
formed by somebody else they
would have had to pay. In other
words, this labor has a cash value,
and since it adds to the comfort of
the family, must be included in the
revenue from the farm, As a mat
ter of fact, in Georgia about Is
per cent of the total was hired.
The charge for rent must be
considered in much the same way.
The value of the farm house is
usually included in the value of
the land, and the whole regarded
as the capital which the farmer
has invested in his business. If
this is done, however, it is only |
fair to credit the farm with having
furnished its occupants with shell
ter, which, as every city worker
knows, has a high cash value. On |
the Georgia farms included in the
investigation, the average annual
value of this shelter, in other
words, the house rent, was esti-
mated at 500 year, a figure which
included interest, depreciation, and
repairs, but was lower than in any
other State except South Carolina
and Texas. The milder climate of
the South does not necessitate as
substantial dwellings as in the
North and the value of the average
farm house is, in consequence,
much less.
The great factor in the cost of
maintaining life is, however, food.
Of this, the average family in the

out to county assessors and county boards
tending to bring out more uniform as
sessment of real estate and other prop
erty in the state. In 1916 will occur the
reasscssment of real estate, which Is
made every four years, and the secretary
sees the need of organization along the
lines of a more equitable valuation. His
letter is as follows:
In order to have a just and uniform
assessment the county assessor must take
charge and supervise the real etate as
sessment OF your county. 1t is tho duty
OF the county assessor to Jointly view
with adjoining county assessors the lands

are established on county lines he should

so that equal lands viii carry the same
values on each side of the precinct lines.
must be paid by the county. and should
be cheerfully allowed by the county
board This will be the on'y system to
have a uniform value over tho entire

district to assist in getting uniform val

This work of valuing real estate should
DO completed by April /, ard therefore
work should begin shortly after New
Year.
Field notes should be prepared at once
by the county assessor 50 that he can
start his work after the new year using
the best days to be out and taking land
values. Property IN cities and villages
must also be viewed by county assessor
and precinct assessor so that values he

like nature.
The meetings over the state held with
the county assessors were a success I'm
every way. The work of starting the real
estate assessment after January | was
egreed upon to be dated and completed by
April l. This will greatly assist you In
completing 1t in time, as required by law.
You should appear before your county
board at their regular meeting in January
and ask for the necessary allowance for
help, so that you can devote your whole
time to the precinct assessors and their
work. Thus you will secure just va'ua-
