 are given, also, figures showing the 1920 

 acreage planted, the number of acres

 Any changes in the "acres planted"

 made necessary by corrected reports 

 submitted by growers. The abandoned 

 acreage accounts in part for the low 

 production of some seeds. 



In connection with the 1920 produc- 

 tion estimates of sweet corn, attention, 

 is called to the fact that in some in- 

 stances the harvest had not been com- 

 pleted at the time reports were made 

 and growers submitted their best estir 

 mates.
