Fig. 13.— The increased earnings of the later years were due almost entirely to higher price levels. Hogs, 
corn, cattle, and wheat reached peak prices sooner than oats, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. They 
also reached higher prices during the period of this investigation. Less quantities of some products 
were sold in the years of higher prices. The quantities of corn and wheat sold fluctuated more from 
year to year than those of the other products.
