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.
