Table 1. — Corn: Approximate distribution of the United States crop. 

 [Figures are averages for the 5 years 1911-1915, where not otherwise noted.]

2. Merchantable com 



3. Shipped out of counties where grown (represents commercial movement

1 These figures (items 3 and 4) show the gross movement and do not take into account the intrastate 

 com shipments between surplus and deficiency sections of the same State. 



2 Data regarding farm consumption are based upon investigations made by N. C. Murray, assistant

3 Additional quantities marketed in cities are reshipped to farms, and included in consumption on farms 

 (above).
