It will be seen that 44 per cent. of the area of these farms is
under corn crops, 19 per cent. under rotation grasses and 17 per
cent. under permanent pasture. While corn is an important
item, they all carry a substantial head of stock.
Out of the 39,600 farms in this group 12,000 are between
20 and 50 acres, and 10,000 from 50 to 100 acres. Of the
remainder, the size-group from 150 to 300 acres has the largest
number and the largest acreage of any.

of crops and grass (excluding holdings under 20 acres) which is
occupied by farms of this type is about 20 per cent., but the
proportion varies very greatly in different parts of the: country.
