 Kansas. 



The percentage of total acreage devoted to wheat in Missouri and 

 Nebraska was considerably lower than in some other districts visited 

 because of the competition with corn in these States. In the spring- 

 wheat districts, because of the smaller amount of rainfall and the 

 shorter growing season, corn does not compete with wheat to so 

 great an extent.
