The acreage in these States isconcentrated in a few counties, as can be seen on the map. It is interesting to note thatalthough there is almost no corn giown for grain in Maine or California (see Fig. 24),there is a considerable acreage of sweet corn in these Fig. 58.—Tomatoes are grown for sale in almost all parts of the United States,except in the Spring Wlieat, Northern Great Plains and Arid Intermountain Plateauregions. The eastern Maryland, Delaware, and southern New Jersey districts Includeover one-third of the Nations acreage, and the Los Angeles and San Francisco Baydistricts in California about one-tenth. Virginia and Indiana rank next in importance,followed by Florida, which produces most of the winter crop. Other important early-tomato districts are located in Copiah County, Miss., and Cherokee County, Tex. Toma-toes lead all the vegetables grown for saJe in the United States (other than ijotatoesand sweet potatoes), both in acreage and value. A Graphic Si(lim7nary of American AgricuUv/re. 463
