ABSTRACT
The amount of land owned is a markedly better predictor of stratified group than sales per hectare, though land and gross sales together appear to act differently among the groups. Returning to the stratified groups in Wola Plawska, the author predict that a household's location in one or another of the several groups will be associated with ownership and use of certain agricultural means of production. In small ancient villages with a norm of endogamy such as Wola Plawska—Wola Pfawska is typical in this respect—it is difficult to find anyone who falls totally outside the bond of family so broadly defined. The members of worker-farmer households in Wola Plawska have about the same number of years in school as farmer-workers. Worker-farmer households receive annual gross wages that are slightly lower than those of farmer-workers, but because their families are younger, there are also fewer people of working age.
