The three maps on the preceding page (maps 5, 6, and 7) show, 
through different dimensions of the circles, the per capita wheat pro- 
duction, by States, in 1871-1875, 1891-1895, and 1911-1915, ' 
progress of wheat production in relation to increasing population.

APPENDIX. 
AVERAGE FARM PRICES OF WHEAT, BY COUNTIES, 1910-1914. 
Note. — The data which follow form the bases of maps 1, 3, and 4,' and are ex- 
plained on pages 11 and 24. 
Counties have been used as the smallest effective unit of measurement, for the 
reason that the usual State prices are frequently averages for large expanses of territory 
with dissimilar physical and price conditions. The basic figures were compiled from 
returns of some 30,000 township reporters for each of the five years 1910-1914, inclu- 
sive, as of December 1. Observations for this period and for a like date of each year 
were employed to distinguish normal geographic variations from temporary deviations; 
and to further conduce thereto the price averages have been rounded to a 5-cent unit 
to overcome occasional minor differences due to such causes as local variations in grade. 
As the figures are designed to show geographic variation in prices paid to wheat 
producers, counties with little or no wheat production have been omitted (those with 
less than 500 acres in wheat, according to the 1910 census).
