The percentage of total acreage devoted to w^heat in Mssouii and 
Nebraska was considerably lower than in some other districts visited 
because of the competition with corn in these States. In the spring- 
wheat districts, because of the smaller amount of rainfall and the 
shorter growing season, corn does not compete with wheat to so 
great an extent.
