Abstract

Excerpts: Good extension teaching requires the judicious use of charts. Since economic facts often can be shown best through the use of charts, we have collected and are sending you herewith the important charts used in presenting the 1935 Farm Family Living Outlook Report. Charts 1 to 4, furnished by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, give facts as to farm income, prices farmers receive, prices farmers pay, and price changes for food, clothing, operating expenses, building materials, furniture and furnishings, and all commodities used for family maintenance. Charts 5 to 7 show distribution of the average value of farm family living. Basic material upon which the charts are developed follows each chart. States that have household-account records doubtless will wish to substitute their own figures wherever possible. Charts 8 to 12 deal with the farm family food supply, including the usual versus the desirable distribution of food groups at different money-value levels, and the money value of the food supply required for a farm family while a son and a daughter are being retired to the age of self-support, together with explanatory material.
