Truck crops occupy 50.4 per cent of the total land area included 

 in the three surveys, general farm crops occupy 9.6 per cent, and 

 40 per cent of the area is not occupied by annual crops. 



A considerable proportion of the entire area surveyed is thus not 

 cropped, and it is desirable to compare crop acreages on the basis 

 of their relationship to the cropped area as well as with respect to 

 their proportionate place in the whole area.
