Résumé anglais Income and the Situation of Peasants. Gross Income and Available Income as a Means of Evaluation. The method employed consists first of all in collecting all the items in the column of receipts, then substracting the operating costs and the salaries of the extra-familial labourers; one thus obtains the gross income. Various large holdings with different policies of production illustrate the manner in which particular types of income can influence the gross earnings. For the period before the emancipation of the peasants it is necessary to refine the method somewhat; the peasant family could not dispose for its own use of the totality of the gross income; it had to pay out of this income taxes, land rent and services. Once these items were deducted the truly available income remained. The share demanded by those with claims upon the gross income of the peasants shows to what extent it was shrinking. If the peasant held land according to an unfavourable legislation, the lord appropriated the greater part of the gross income.
