Excerpt from An Analysis of the Business of the Poultry Producers of Central California The usual method of measuring density of production appears to be based on the number of farms, or the political subdivisions, but inspection of available census data indicated that, in this instance, such a measure would be misleading because of variation in the size of farms, in the size of political subdivisions, and in the portion of their areas included in farms. It was felt that a more accurate measure of production density could be had by dividing the total egg production of a county by the total area included in farms, thus obtaining a figure that represented egg production per acre in farms. Objections to such a measure could be raised, but it seems to be the most significant which can be computed from the available data.
