of the preceding years, being but Csc
a bushel in 1912 and ranging from
CSC to nc for the three proceeding
years. But, on account of the other
crops the value of the corn produced
in 1912 exceeded that for several
years previous being S15,92S,000 in
1912. while the highest for the three
preceding years was s1S,991 in 1911.
While the number of acres sown
in wheat in West Virginia in 1912 was
not quite as large as for the two pre-
ceding years, the production was very
much larger And, although the price
was not as high as it had been for
three years past, the value of the
wheat produced was much greater.
The number of acres sown in wheat
in 1912 was $4,000 compared with
2SS.00O in 1911, 241,O00 in 1910 and
209 900 in 1909 The production of
