Note. — Figures in italics are census returns; figures in roman are estimates of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture. Estimates of acres are obtained by applying estimated percentage 

 of increase or decrease to the published acreage of the preceding year, except that a revised 

 base is used for applying percentage estimates whenever new census data are available. 

 Acreages have been revised for years 1890-1908. so as to be consistent with the following as 

 well as the preceding census acreage, and total production and farm values are adjusted 

 accordingly.
