208 BULLETIN 1074, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



acreage of the county was determined. The actual number of acres 

 of wheat in each county, as determined by the preliminary reports 

 of the Fourteenth United States Census, were used to compute the 

 estimated number of acres of each variety. The varietal survey and 

 the census data were for the same year, 1919. The estimated acre- 

 age of the different varieties in each State (Table 2) and in the 

 United States (Table 3) thus have been determined and a corre- 

 sponding weighted percentage computed. 



In filling out the varietal questionnaires many reporters listed only 

 the most important varieties and grouped the remaining as " others " 

 or else failed to report varieties totaling a full 100 per cent. Other 

 correspondents reported " no wheat " where the census reports showed 

 a small acreage for the county. These undetermined percentages 

 have been carried as " others and not reported " in all computations. 

 The unidentified varieties reported have also been included under 

 that heading. 



Most of the crop reporters were not acquainted with the names 

 of varieties of club and durum wheat. Instead of reporting varie- 

 ties, therefore, these classes of wheat usually were reported merely 

 as " club " and " durum." In tabulating the results these class names 

 are used with the explanation " varieties not reported " in paren- 

 theses. The acreage data for club and durum varieties, therefore, 

 are of little value, but the varieties known by the writers to be 

 grown are listed by name in all cases. Where these names were 

 not reported on the survey, the acreage and percentage columns are 

 left blank. For all varieties reported but which have an estimated 

 actual acreage of less than 100 acres or an estimated percentage of 

 less than 0.1 per cent, leaders (dotted lines) are shown in each figure 

 column. The figures following the State names show the number 

 of reports used in computing the averages.
