Thefewer number of farm owner-operators in the prairie portion of the Corn Belt, as com-pared with the originally forested portion (see Fig. 7), is noteworthy. This is due, inpart, to the larger, consequently fewer, farms (see Fig. 102), and in part to the largerproportion of tenants (see Fig. 112).
