a Average cost per bushel for all winter wheat. 
CUMULATIVE PER CENT OF TOTAL PRODUCTION. 
Tables XXXV and XXXVI show the cumulative per cent of total 
production ^^dth reference to cost per bushel. 
In the spring-wheat areas about 67 per cent of the total bushels har- 
vested was grown on farms havings costs not in excess of the general 
average of $2.65 per bushel. This percentage varied in different 
counties. In Grand Forks County, 87 per cent of the production was 
gro^\TL at a cost of $2.60 or less, but in Morton Countv only 13.3 per 
cent was produced as cheaply as $2.60 per bushel. 
In the winter-wheat districts approximately 60 per cent of the total 
production was raised at the average cost or less per bushel. As in 
the spring- wheat districts, the cumulative per cent of production 
grown at various costs per bushel showed considerable variation 
among the various districts visited.
