More than one-half of the crop acreage was planted to cotton in 1913 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 decreased 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, er as second crops following small-grain 
crops; thus the acreage utilized for growing second crops and interplanted crops in 
1918 was greatly increased over that of 1913. :
