Central [ Rest of | Whole Florida I State I State Per cent of land in farms Per cent of land improved Improved acres per inhabitant — Inhabitants per farm Average number of acres per farm Average improved acres per farm ] | 1 I Value of land, fences and buildings per farm Value of implements and machinery per farm Expenditures in 1894, per farm, for Labor, including board furnished Fertilizers Value of products in 1894, per farm. 1155 607 Expenditure in 1894, per acre improved in 1895, for Labor, etc. Fertilizers 1 Value of products in 1894, per acre improved in 1895. In comparing values for 1895 ^'^^^ those for other periods it is well to bear in mind that a year or two after that average com- modity prices reached the lowest ebb ever known in the whole his- tory of the United States, or in other words, the purchasing power of the dollar was greatest. CONDITIONS IN 1899-I9OO AND I9O4-5. For 1899-1900 we have more complete agricultural data than ever before. For the first time the farmers are divided according to race, and the value of buildings separated from that of land and fences; but there are no separate statistics for white and colored farmers for areas smaller than states, except in regard to land tenure. Goats and bees are also returned for the first time.* *Cattle are subdivided rather minutely as to age and sex
