2/6 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY I3TH ANNUAL REPORT 



or other unit is the same in each county as it is in the whole State. 

 The federal census is also unsatisfactory in that it lumps together 

 the two varieties of cotton and many kinds of vegetables, which 

 are important in Florida, but that at least simplifies the table. The 

 reasons for not using the State census figures for crop value per- 

 centages have been given elsewhere. 



The percentages in this table are given to the nearest tenth, so 

 that those below .05% are represented by zero, which does not nec- 

 essarily mean that the crop in question is not raised in that region 

 at all. Crops that do not constitute as much as i % in any of the 

 regions treated are omitted. The highest figure in each line is 

 printed in heavy type, as usual, but the lowest is in many cases in- 

 determinate. Somte of the columns add up more than 100% and 

 some considerably less, doubtless because of great variations in the 

 value per acre of different vegetables, which are not separated by 

 the census.

Average Yields 



The average yield per acre of the leading crops in 1909, which 

 is readily ascertained from the census reports, except for vegeta- 

 bles and orchard fruits, is given by regions in the next table, ex- 

 cept that in a region where a given crop is relatively insignificant
