A Graphic Summary of American Agriculture. 



FtG. 89. — Over two-fifths of the hogs and pigs in the United States are in the Cora 

 Belt, nearly one-flfth are in the Cotton Belt, and nearly another fifth in the Corn and 

 Winter Wheat Re^on. In 1919 there were, on the average, 106 swine per square mile 

 in the Corn Belt, 27 in the Cotton Belt, 32 in the Corn and Winter Wheat Region. 

 17 in the Hay and Pasture Region, and about 4 per square mile in the remainder of 

 the United States. Just as the cool Hay and Pasture Region finds the best outlet for 

 its crops in feeding dairy cows, so the warm, rich Corn Pelt finds the growing of eura 

 and feeding of beef cattle and hogs its most profitable system of farming (see Figs. 

 27 and 81). Swine in cities and villages numbered 2,038,389, which is about 4 per cent 

 of the total number in the United States.
