j APPENDIX. 
The data which follow, form the bases of Maps 1, 2, and 3, and are explained on 
pages 2 and 6. 
Counties have been used as the smallest effective unit of measurement, for the reason 
that the usual State prices are frequently averages for large expanses of territory 
with dissimilar physical and price conditions. The basic figures were compiled from 
returns of some 30,000 township reporters for each of the five years 1910-1914, as of 
December 1. Observations for this period and for a like date of each year were 
employed to distinguish normal geographic variations from temporary deviations; 
and to further conduce thereto the price averages have been rounded to a five-cent 
unit to overcome occasional minor differences due to such causes as local variations 
in. grade. 
As the figures are designed to show geographic variation in prices paid to oat pro- 
ducers, counties with little or no oat production have been omitted (those with less 
than 500 acres in oats, according to the 1909 census).
