A brief explanation of the characteristics of the apparent differ-ences seems necessary to avoid error in the practical application ofthe detailed figures of the farm prices of corn by States and counties.

To determine normal conditions the data forming the base of themaps were arranged and zones determined according to the five-yearaverages (1910-1914). Prices in a single year, of course, may begreater or less than the average.

The quality of the local corncrop may be poor, or a local failure may occur and a territory usuallyproducing a surplus may have to ship in corn.
