leading states nre given as: North
Dakota. 2Ss.6; Iowa, 2s64; Mime
sofa, 1904. and Kansas. l09.5.
South Dakota was listed as fourth
among the states in the production OF
wheat and OF corn. but her compare
lively small population gave herS the
palm from n per capita standpoint,

or more than 1900 per capita.
