Abstract
This chapter has two purposes: first, to compare the level of differentiation among the peasantry in 1909–13 and the mid-1920s; and secondly, to examine the trend within each of these periods. Special emphasis is given to regional differences. After a discussion of the problem of assessing differentiation, the second section deals with differentiation by farm size, and the third section with the effect of off-farm income as a measure of differentiation.
