NOTE .- It is estimated that an average of twenty thousand small farms escape assessment each year, and this number should be added to the foregoing figures in order to approximate the total farms of all kinds in Texas. The number of tenant farms indicate the number of renters in the State, and by " tarm laborers" are meant individ- uals simply working for wages.
