Type 7 families less numerous among farm than among total households. Thus,

man and wife households with an employable male head were considerably higher

among the farms. Among Type 1 families (male head "fully employable"), 33 per-

cent reported cash farm incomes above $1,000 compared with 19 percent of Type 2

families (male head "employable") and 8 percent of Type 7 families (no employ-

able male present). Conversely, the percentages reporting incomes below $250

were 52, 60, and 73 for Types 1, 2, and 7 families, respectively. This was the

same general pattern that was found under total family income.

 Distribution of farm households by cash farm income classes and

education of the family head is shown in Table 67. Cash farm income did not

tend to increase with the educational attainments of the farm operator as did

total family income when both farm and nonfarm households were involved. This

is due partly to the fact that some well-educated operators had low cash farm
