Maryland ranks first in acre-age, followi d by New York, Iowa, Ohio. Illinois, and in close Jersey, relative to its area, has a large acreage. 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 gi-own for grain in Maine or California (see Fig. 24),there is a considerable acreage of sweet £om In these States.
