CROP BOUNDARIES 
The map on page 18 (Fig. 7) shows the approximate 
boundaries of the six types of annual cropping as they existed 
in the crop year 1909. The heart of the Corn Belt is made up 
of the summer-spring and summer-winter types. To the 
north of the Corn Belt and along the Pacific coast the domi- 
nant type is spring-summer. Most of the Rocky Mountain 
region and some of the cooler parts of the Great Lakes region 
belong to the spring-winter type. The two remaining types 
*The acreage of spring wheat was taken from the Nebraska Agricnltural 
year book (crop year 1909) and subtracted from the total acreage of wheat 
reported in the census. The remaining acreage was classed as winter wheat.
