In conclusion, a statistical review from 1871 to 1915 is appendedin Table 9, showing geographic changes in sources of the domesticcorn supply, relation of production to population, and other factors. Since 1871-1875 corn production has nearly trebled, but the frac-tion as well as quantity of corn exported has declined, likewise thepercentage of shipments out of counties where grown. Consequently,the farm consumption has increased. Per capita production, how-ever, has declined since 1882-1886 (31 bushels per capita against 1911-1915). Xotwithstanding the fact that the average production has increasedfrom about 1 billion bushels at the first period to 2f billions atthe last, the percentage of corn in the total improved land has fallenoff. Increased crops are due to new areas which have been broughtunder cultivation rather than
