320 EXTENT OF VEGETABLE GROWING 



tables (except sweet potatoes) in each state for the year 1909, as 

 recorded in the Thirteenth Census Report, are given in Table IV. 

 The acreage and value of the sweet potato crop is also given for 

 states in which the acreage exceeded 1000. The totals for the 

 United States in the case of sweet potatoes include the record 

 for the states not indicated in detail. The last two columns of 

 this table indicate the percentage of improved farm land which 

 was occupied by vegetable crops in each state in 1909, and the 

 value of the vegetable crop for each state expressed in percentage 

 of the total value of all crops produced in the state. It will be 

 seen that the value of vegetable crops is high considering the 

 amount of land occupied. On the accompanying chart (Fig. 192) 

 shading is used to indicate the states in which the value of the 

 vegetable crops amounted to over 10 per cent, of the total value 

 of all crops.
