Over one-third of the automobiles are in the CornBelt, where one-half to three-quarters of the farms have such ve-hicles. Water has been piped into the houses mostly in the Hay andPasture Eegion, especially in New England, and in the South PacificRegion. Telephones are more widely distributed than any otherof the farm facilities; nevertheless, the map shows a noteworthy con-centration in the Corn Belt and the Hay and Pasture farm facilities are criteria of rural progress and prosperity,and as such their geographic distribution is deserving of considera-tion.
