0m A Comparison was made between two resident-tenants and two resident-owners having approximately the same size and quality of farm land, and the same size families; no signif¬ icant difference was found in their respective output. ?his would seem to discount the negative effect of tenancy, at least in terms of agricultural production. (8) While the size of farms ranged from a low of five acres to a high of 250 acres, twenty-eight (about 50$>) householders had farms in excess of fifty acres. Only two farms were less than fifteen acres. All householders had arable land; the amounts ranged from five to eighty acres, giving a median of 42.5 acres. . In terms of distribution of farm animals five householders, including three who had non-farming occupations, did not own horses; all householders owned cattle; and six householders owned no sheep and/or pigs. Butter was produced in fifty- two households; quantities produced ranged from a low of ten pounds to a high of 500 pounds; seventeen households produc¬ ed 2630 lbs. (66$) out of the total of 3997 pounds produced. Cloth was manufactured in forty-eight households. And the settlement included a church, a school and two taverns. Mixed farming, some specialization in work, home indust¬ ries, family labor^and probably some outside labor,almost allowed Sou' West to be a self-sufficient settlement. But the residents also used the shingle and saw mills at the west end of the settlement ( John Wright 's mills), and the grist and carding mills nearby in Lots 26 and 28. Sou' West 3.3.
