208 BULLETIN 1074, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
acreage of the county was determined. The actual number of acres 
of wheat in each county, as determined by the preliminary reports 
of the Fourteenth United States Census, were used to compute the 
estimated number of acres of each variety. The varietal survey and 
the census data were for the same year, 1919. The estimated acre- 
age of the different varieties in each State (Table 2) and in the 
United States (Table 3) thus have been determined and a corre- 
sponding weighted percentage computed. 
In filling out the varietal questionnaires many reporters listed only 
the most important varieties and grouped the remaining as “ others” 
or else failed to report varieties totaling a full 100 per cent. Other 
correspondents reported ** no wheat ” where the census reports showed 
a small acreage for the county. These undetermined percentages 
have been carried as “others and not reported” in all computations. 
The unidentified varieties reported have also been included under 
that heading. 
Most of the crop reporters were not acquainted with the names 
of varieties of club and durum wheat. Instead of reporting varie- 
ties, therefore, these classes of wheat usually were reported merely 
as “club ” and “durum.” In tabulating the results these class names 
are used with the explanation “ yarieties not reported” in paren- 
theses. The acreage data for club and durum varieties, therefore, 
are of little value, but the varieties known by the writers to be 
grown are listed by name in all cases. Where these names were 
not reported on the survey, the acreage and percentage columns are 
left blank. For all varieties reported but which have an estimated 
actual acreage of less than 100 acres or an estimated percentage of 
less than 0.1 per cent, leaders (dotted lines) are shown in each figure 
column. The figures following the State names show the number 
of reports used in computing the averages. 3
