CORN PRODUCTION IN EXPORTING COUNTRIES. 
Table XIII shows the percentages of tiie world's corn crops pro- 
duced in the five principal corn-exporting countries of the world each 
year for a period of ten years, from 1898 to 1907, inclusive. During 
the whole period these countries together produced an average by 
years of 83.4 per cent, while the United States alone produced an 
average of 75.18 per cent of the world's corn crops. Argentina stands 
next to the United States in the production of corn and in showing the 
most substantial increase in the quantity produced.

PERCENTAGES OF CORN CROPS EXPORTED FROM EXPORTING 
COUNTRIES. 
Table XIV shows the percentage of the corn crops exported from 
the five principal corn-exporting countries of the world each year for 
a period of ten years, from 1898 to 1907, inclusive. From this table 
it will be seen that an average, considered by years, of more than one- 
half of the. corn produced in Argentina and more than one-half of 
that produced in European Russia was exported from those coun- 
tries during the period; that more than one-third of the crops of Rou- 
mania and Bulgaria was exported; while the exports from the United 
States for the same period amounted to only 4.86 per cent of the pro- 
duction, the exports from the United States showing a gradual reduc- 
tion in the percentage of the yearly exports. In considering this 
table, however, it must be remembered that the statistics relating to 
the United States are based upon a year beginning July 1, while those 
relating to the other countries shown are based upon the calendar 
year, and also that the crops in Argentina ripen and are exported 
practically six months before those of the other countries shown.
