On these farms the crop men had a larger area and nearly the 

 same capital, yet their income was less than half that of the live-stock 

 men. This wide margin of profit in favor of the live-stock farmer

is due primarily to two reasons, the most important of which is that 

 the crop men sold their corn at about 41 cents per bushel. (See 

 Table XXV.) The live-stock farmer fed his corn to hogs, which he 

 sold at a price ranging from 7| to 9 cents a pound. Many men also 

 fed cattle, which likewise sold on a high market.
