a- Average cost per bushel for all winter wheat. 

 CUMULATIVE PER CENT OF TOTAL PRODUCTION. 



Tables XXXV and XXXVI show the cumulative per cent of total 

 production with reference to cost per bushel. 



In the spring-wheat areas about 67 per cent of the total bushels har- 

 vested was grown on farms havings costs not in excess of the general 

 average of $2.65 per bushel. This percentage varied in different 

 counties. In Grand Forks County, 87 per cent of the production was 

 grown at a cost of $2.60 or less, but in Morton County only 13.3 per 

 cent was produced as cheaply as $2.60 per bushel. 



In the winter-wheat districts approximately 60 per cent of the total 

 production was raised at the average cost or less per bushel. As in 

 the spring-wheat districts, the cumulative per cent of production 

 grown at various costs per bushel showed considerable variation 

 among the various districts visited.
