The growing of roots for stock - feeding has never taken the place in American agriculture that its merits deserve, largely because of the ease and cheapness with which grain crops can be raised and the amount of hand labor involved in the production of roots. There is every indication that the culture of these forage plants will in- crease, particularly in the East. The reason why the production of roots is of special interest in the north Atlantic states and in eastern Canada is that these regions raise a comparatively large amount of roughage and a small amount of con- centrates, while the north-central states raise a large amount of cereals or concentrates in propor- tion to hay and forage as shown in the following table. The following table shows the ratio of con- centrates to roughage in the north Atlantic and north-central states according to the Census of 1900: All cereals except wheat, million tons All hay and forage, million tons . Per cent of cereals except wheat . Tons cereals except wheat, per animal unit Tons hay and forage per animal
