Center of Pro- duction.â The center of production of oats has shifted westward and northward, as is shown by the fact that while New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio were the center of the crop in 1850, now (1900) the con- centration is in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. This represents a movement in the last half century of a little less than 120 miles northward (to 41° 39' 15" N. Lat.) and about 575 miles westward (to 91° 8' 11''W. Long.). This shows a northward movement of oat produc- tion twenty-one miles more than of wheat and 115 miles more than of maize, while the westward move- ment has been ninet}^-five miles more than of maize and 105 miles less than of wheat. The increasing use to which maize is being put as feed for milch cows is largely responsible for the relatively decreased area devoted to oat production in some States, as is shown by the fact that the n:ajority of the States which reported decreased acreages in oats reported increased acreages in maize. These States were principally in the dair}' sections. 426. Export of Oats.âThe quantity of oats exported is small compared with wheat or maize, although increasmg relatively.
