1921 Vegetable Crop
Value$1, ,1O4 100000
Interesting Statistics Depart
ment of Agriculture Are
Made Public.

Washington, June S.-Vegetables
grown in the United States in 1921
had an estimated value of $1,104,-
600, 900, according to the department
of agriculture. This was 1871 per-
cent OF the total value of all crops.
The products of market gardens,
which may not have been productive
enough to be farms within the cen
sus definition, are not included in
these estimates The total value of
truck vegetables produced for sale.
often called the commercial crop,
was estimated by the department at
1927 ,000,0 900.
The potato crop had a farm value
of $685., ,000, 900 and the sweet pota-
to, $S7, 100000. Together, these
two crops comprises 43 percent of
the value of all vegetables in 1921.
The tomato crop OF 1921 had a
farm value Of S60,000,000; the can
taloupe crop was worth SIT 1000, 900;
watermelon and cabbage crops
each had a value of about $4,000 =
600.
Farm gardens are a new item in
the vegetable list and had an es-
timated value Of $405,00o,000 in
1912.
The value of the vegetable crop
in relation to prominent single
crops and groups of crops has some
striking ratios for 1921, a year when
the values of the large crops were
low the department pointed out.
The total value of the vegetable
crop for 1921 was S5 per cent of the
great corn crop: it was almost as
large as the value of the hay and
forage crops; it was nearly one
half as large as the value of the
dairy pr,Sucts; it was considerably
larger than the value of all poultry
products; 46 percent larger than the
value of the cotton crop; and so
percent larger than the value of
the winter and spring wheat crops.
