percent to 27.4 percent in the largest class of sawah owned.
Despite the slightly unclear trends of farm animals owned,

Inter Village Variation

(a) Dry Land Owned

As expected, in terms of dry land owned, there is a clear
difference between lowland and upland villages. In each of the
lowland villages, mean dry land owned for all households are
less than one-tenth of a hectare, the highest mean being only
0.053 ha (in Village III); whereas in the upland land villages
