The acreage and the amount of lint that was produced are also 

 shown in Tables 33 and 34. A larger percentage of the total pro- 

 duction than of either farms or acreage falls in the low-cost groups. 

 In 1913 over three- fourths of the cotton was produced at 13 cents or 

 less per pound, and in 1918 three- fourths was produced at 27 cents 

 or less per pound. The acreages with the higher yields more gen- 

 erally fall in the lower cost groups.
