Fia. 89.—Over two-fifths of the hogs and pigs in the United States are in the CornBelt, nearly one-fifth are in the Cotton- Belt, and nearly another fifth in the Corn andWinter Wheat Region. In 1919 there were, on the average, 106 swine per square mileIn the Com Belt, 27 in the Cotton Belt, 32 in the Corn and Winter Wheat Region17 In the Hay and Pasture Region, and about 4 per square mile in the remainder ofthe United States. Just as the cool Hay and Pasture Region finds the best outlet forits crops in feeding dairy cows, so the warm, rich Corn Belt finds the growtng of cornand feeding of beef cattle and hogs its most profitable system of farming (see Ilea27 and 81). Swine m cities aiid villages numbered 2,638,389, which is about 4 per craitof the total number in the United States. 484 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture, 1921.
