PRICES OF FEEDS. 
The feed costs given in the foregoing tables are based on the values 
of feeds at the farm for feeds raised, and on actual cash costs for feeds 
purchased. These costs for each year were governed somewhat by 
market prices, and the average value on each farm was influenced 
by the quality of the feed, and the relative quantity used at different 
prices. 
It will be seen that the average price per bushel of corn in Ohio was 
$0.067 higher than the average price in Illinois, and in New York 
$0.158 higher than in Ohio. Likewise, the average price per bushel 
of oats in Ohio was $0.074 higher than the average price in Ilhnois, 
and in New York $0.05 higher than in Ohio. The average price per 
ton of hay for Ohio was $0.98 higher than for Illinois and that for 
New York $0.13 higher than that for Ohio. 
A comparison of the variations in grain prices in the three States 
with figures from the Yearbooks of the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture for the years 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1913 shows that in Ohio 
the average farm price per bushel of corn for three years was $0.046 
higher than in Illinois, and in New York $0.12 higher than in Ohio. 
Also, these figures show that the average price per bushel of oats 
for these years was $0.029 higher in Ohio than in Ilhnois, and $0.084 
higher in New York than in Ohio. These variations are less than 
those shown by the figures used in this bulletin. This is partly due 
to the fact that the prices used in this bulletin are averages for a 
‘ small number of farms, while those shown in the Yearbooks of the
