FIRST CROP 

 SECOND CROP 

 CROPS INTERPLANTED 

 WITH CORN 



More than one-half of the crop acreage was planted to cotton in 191.3 and more 

 than one-third in 1918. In 1913 the acreage planted to corn was about two-thirds 

 that planted to cotton, but in 1918 there was about an equal acreage of each crop. 

 From 1913 to 1918 the acreage' in oats was decrea&ed and that of wheat and rye in- 

 creased. About one farm in fifty was producing wheat in 1913 and two farms in three 

 in 1918. The acreage planted to cowpeas, velvet beans, and peanuts was much greater 

 in 1918 than in 1913. Most of the cowpeas and velvet beans and about one-half of the 

 peanuts were grown interplanted with corn, or as second crops following small-grain 

 crops ; thus the acreage utilized for growing second crops and interpla'nted crops In 

 1918 wa." greatlv increased over that of 1913.
