Before 1900, the-Wheat crop was frequently more valuable Monday, than the corn crop but since 1900, the value of corn has become on the average double the value of the annual wheat production.

This is ex- largely' by an increase of more than 50 per cent, in the production of corn while, wheat production has remained practically unchanged. The total crop last year was estimated by the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service at 46,470,000 bushels which, with a December 1 farm price of $1.00 per bushel, gives an.aggregate value of $46,470,000. The 10 leading counties in order of 'their production are Lancaster, York Bucks; Franklin, Lebanon, Cumberland, and Adams. The 10 leading counties 45', years ago were caster, York, Chester, Berks; Franklin, Montgomery, Washington, Westmoreland and, comparison of the two periods shows only slight change in geographic distribution of corn production.
