these seven sources— hogs, corn, oats, cattle, wheat, poultry and 
eggs, and dairy products— represented 92 per cent of the total farm 
receipts. (See fig. 5.) 
The receipts for the second 4-year period were 76 per cent higher 
than for the first 4-year period, due mainly to price levels. (See 
fig. 6.) The item of receipts showing greatest change from the first 
to the second 4-year period was that of hogs, which represented 37 
per cent of the total receipts the first period and 43 per cent the last. 
The receipts varied from year to year, both in total and in the 
items in their makeup. The increase in receipts of the last 4-year 
period over the first 4-year period was largely a matter of price

and 1919 to over 70 per cent in 1917. For the other five years, they were 55 P fo 65 per cVntofIL total 
levels; but in single years, quantity of production, as well as the 
continuous shifting of the price relations of one product with an- 
other^ was also important. (See Table 1 for yearly variations in 
quantities of products sold and prices received.) 
The seven largest sources of receipts ranked the same for the aver- 
ages of each 4-year period as for the 8-year period, although there 
was some change in the yearly rank of every product except hogs 
Hogs ranked first m receipts every year and outranked the second 
most important source of receipts each year by more than 2 to 1 • 
corn was second in amount of receipts 5 of the 8 years, and oats the 
other 3; oats were a rather close second to corn in point of receipts 
for the 8-year period and each of the 4-year periods. Corn lost 
second place in amount of receipts in 1910 because of low prices com- 
pared with wheat and oats (Table 1), and in 1917 and 1918 because 
of low yields per acre (Table 1). Wheat varied in rank from third 
place in 1910 and 1919 to seventh place.in 1916 and 1917 mainlv 
on account of acres harvested and yields per acre. (See page 17 )
