LETTER OF SUBMITTAL. 
 
 Department of Agriculture, 
 
 Office of Statistician, 
 
 June 10, 1891. 
 
 Sir: The first edition of the Album of Agricultural Statistics, issued two years ago, was received 
 with great favor by students of rural economy in this and other countries. Its limited numbers, (10,000 
 copies) were found to be entirely inadequate even to the requirements of a restricted and conservative 
 scheme of distribution. The present edition of 15,000 is especially intended for libraries of reference 
 and schools and colleges in which industrial art and social science have a prominent place. 
 
 In obedience to the public demand for, graphic illustrations of statistics, which has often been 
 reiterated, maps, charts and diagrams have from time to time been prepared, by the Statistician, for 
 international and other exhibitions, and for educational institutions. Only a single copy of each was 
 made, in some instances on a large scale, elaborate and expensive, for exhibition purposes. There have 
 been urgent and repeated calls for popularization of such illustrations, by cheapening their cost and 
 multiplying their numbers, and a more general distribution to societies, schools and individuals. The 
 annual report, of which 400,000 copies are distributed, has furnished a medium for presentation, gen- 
 erally in single page diagrams, of some of the more striking and instructive facts of American agriculture, 
 familiarized the people with this method of interpreting statistics, and excited a desire for further 
 elaboration of methods so interesting and educational in their uses. 
 
 The work contains sixteen colored maps of the United States, each presenting a separate topic, 
 as follows : 
 
 .;£.. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. 
 
 I. Percentage of unoccupied and of farm lands, comprising the VIII. Yield of oats per acre in each State. 
 
 superficial area of each State. ■.' IX. Average value of horses in each State.

 VI. Yield of corn per acre in each State. XV. Average value of lands in the United States. 
 
 VII. Yield of wheat per acre in each State. XVI. Farm tenures in the United States. 
 
 These maps are mainly based on results of past investigation conducted by the Statistician. The 
 distribution of each of the three principal cereals, which together include all but three per cent, of 
 cereal production, has so remarkable a differentiation and so extreme a range, as to justify its selection 
 as a leading topic. The rate of yield, based on yields of ten annual crops, showing the results of cli- 
 matic adaptation, differing soils and methods of culture, is another topic fruitful in suggestion, and 
 thus worthy of consideration. The average values of farm stock in different sections are equally sug- 
 gestive of differences in breed, degree of improvement, and effect of distance from market. It is hoped 
 that the results here embodied, in matter and form, will be found worthy of this presentation.

 ALBUM OF AG^IOULTU^AL 8TATI8TI08. 
 
 This graphic presentation of statistical data 
 is limited to classes of facts existing in every 
 portion of the national territory. A distribu- 
 tion involving only a part of the public domain 
 is not suited to the form of illustration 
 adopted. Cotton, tobacco, flax, even the minor 
 cereals, and many other products, must be 
 treated in a different manner, and hence are 
 not included in this geographical method of 
 presentation. There will be opportunity here- 
 after for discussion of other topics by other and 
 suitable methods. 
 
 Graphic illustrations should never be involved 
 or obscure. A complication of forms and 
 ideas should be avoided. Simplicity and unity 
 are prime characteristics of every attempt to 
 interpret facts and figures by form and color. 
 The basis of this album is, therefore, made a 
 map of the United States. To avoid extra- 
 neous considerations, an outline of the terri- 
 tory, divided by State boundaries, is left unin- 
 cumbered by indications of mountains, streams, 
 cities, or towns. 
 
 Some of these maps represent three or four 
 constituent parts of a whole, . showing by 
 States the relative proportion of each, without 
 reference to volume or quantity. Figures in 
 the form of semicircles, which are equal in 
 size for each State, are divided by segments 
 representing the relative proportion of each 
 constituent factor. This eliminates all consid- 
 erations except the one idea of relative pro- 
 portion, and enables one to make comparison, in 
 this respect, of each State with every other. 
 
 A large number carry the single idea of 
 geographical distribution, as of the relative area 
 of certain principal cereals in the several States, 
 the differences in rate of yield of certain pro- 
 ducts, and the average prices of farm animals. 
 The local differences, in these respects, are first 
 indicated by placing States in five groups each 
 having a certain range of differentiation, and 
 giving to each a grade of density of color and 
 
 a distinct peculiarity of mechanical drawing, 
 making the gradation between the groups 
 doubly easy of discrimination. 
 
 It is desirable, however, to make closer com- 
 parison than is shown in five classes or groups. 
 The range of differences within a group may 
 be considerable ; therefore, in several of these 
 maps, a scale is made, with the average for the 
 United States as zero ; and the percentage of 
 each State above or below this average is indi- 
 cated in plain figures, with the plus or minus 
 prefix, enabling one not only to see the exact 
 relation of each State to the national average 
 at a glance, but also to, find as readily the rela- 
 tion between any one State and any other. 
 
 Upon each map there is placed a table which 
 gives the figures on which the graphic delinea- 
 tion is based. With all the aids to quick appre- 
 hension of the meaning of the presentation, a 
 simple and appropriate graphic method, ample 
 explanation, and the entire body of fact which 
 the map illustrates, it is believed that- the series 
 will prove an instructive and valuable means of 
 popular education. 
 
 In the first map of the series, the blue section 
 of each semicircle shows where the land not 
 yet taken for farms is found. Blue is the almost 
 exclusive color west of the Missouri, it takes 
 large proportion in the South, and in the Eastern 
 and Middle States it covers a much larger part 
 of the surface than in the Ohio Valley. In the 
 whole country it represents 711 in every 1,000 
 acres. The farm lands comprise 289 acres in 
 every thousand, of which 153 are productive or 
 "improved area," 103 are in woodland, and 33 
 acres are unproductive, including old fields, 
 swamps, ledges, and other technically "waste" 
 areas, most of which are susceptible of improve- 
 ment or reclamation. 
 
 Relative to woodlands, it should be carefully 
 observed that only the forest lands in farm 
 areas have ever been reported by the census. 
 The area "not in farms" has woodlands also; 
 
6 
 
 in the South it is nearly all in wood; in the 
 Eastern and Middle States it is mainly wooded 
 area, though the timber has been culled more 
 or less closely in much of it; while in the 
 western regions of prairies and plains, only the 
 valleys of streams and sheltered slopes of moun- 
 tains are covered with woody growths, a part 
 in the western coast very heavy, and other 
 portions in the Rocky Mountains thin and scat- 
 tered. It is probable that in the total area, 
 including that portion not divided into farms, 
 the forest growth would approximate 250 acres 
 in every thousand. 
 
 The second map of the series includes only 
 the farm area, and divides productive lands into 
 tillage and grass lands. The farms of the Rocky 
 Mountain region show a large proportion of 
 "unproductive lands," not because of their want 
 of fertility, but from insufficient means for 
 irrigation and other preparation for use. Their 
 owners are providing areas for future utilization. 
 The proportion of woodland is not a percentage 
 of the total land area, but of the farm area. 
 The range is very wide, from a fraction of one 
 per cent, in Utah to sixty-six per cent, in 
 Florida. Going eastward from the central moun- 
 tain plateaus, it is 3.3 per cent, in Nebraska, 
 11.2 in Iowa,, 15.6 in Illinois, 29.1 in Indiana, 
 24.4 in Ohio, 29.4 in Pennsylvania, and 24.1 in 
 New Jersey. 
 
 The third map illustrates the distribution of 
 maize, the most generally cultivated, occupying 
 the largest acreage, and producing the largest 
 value of any crop in arable culture. It is now ' 
 found in every part of the national domain, and 
 was cultivated by the aboriginal races before 
 the advent of the white man, and also by the 
 prehistoric races of whose lives and industries 
 glimpses are had in their cave-dwellings and in 
 the excavation of their burial mounds. The eight 
 central States which are printed in solid color 
 are characterized by soils and climates especially 
 adapted to corn-growing, and represent half of 
 the national area and nearly two-thirds of the 
 production. Kentucky and Tennessee have a 
 small surplus; the other six, with Nebraska, 
 which is found in the second group only because 
 so much of its territory is as yet unoccupied, 
 produce nearly all the corn of commerce, and 
 are known as the seven "surplus States." The 
 cotton States from Virginia to Alabama inclusive, 
 
 are in the second group; and those further west 
 are less prominent in maize distribution only by 
 reason of larger superficial area in proportion 
 to breadth of cultivation. 
 
 The States of. greatest density of wheat dis- 
 tribution, are five in winter wheat, and two 
 in spring wheat, as follows : Ohio, Indiana and 
 Illinois, in the Ohio Valley, and Delaware and 
 Maryland, producing almost exclusively winter 
 wheat, and Minnesota and Iowa yielding spring 
 wheat. The spring wheat region includes the 
 country west of Lake Michigan, and north of' 
 Missouri and Kansas, the Rocky Mountain pla- 
 teaus, and a strip in New York and New England 
 bordering on Canada. Were the distribution . 
 made in relation to population, or even culti- 
 vated area, the grouping would be essentially 
 different, and Dakota would stand first in the 
 first group. Several States are not included in 
 any group, not because they produce absolutely 
 no wheat, but because the quantity is insignifi- 
 cant and annual estimates of it impracticable. 
 
 The distribution of oats is naturally most dense 
 in the Northern States, by reason of the fact 
 that this grain requires relatively low tempera- 
 ture. Gradual deterioration of yield and quality 
 attends cultivation in any part of the United 
 States. Oats which weigh 40 to 50 pounds per 
 bushel, in Scotland or Norway or Denmark, will 
 usually yield lighter grain at the first planting 
 in this country, and the weight declines annually. 
 In the South good crops are obtained by planting 
 in the autumn for winter growth, and the neces- 
 ' sity for the grain as a variation of the ration for 
 horses has made the crop popular in this region. 
 
 The differences respectively in yield of corn, 
 wheat and oats, are illustrated by three maps, in 
 which the national rate of yield for the past ten 
 years is made the basis of comparison, and the 
 relative rank of each State or Territory is 
 expressed as a percentage above or below the gen- 
 eral average, the ascending or descending scale 
 being marked by plus or minus signs. On one 
 side of the scale the actual yield in bushels, as 
 measured by percentages 8 of difference, is indi- 
 cated, showing instantly the equivalents of these 
 differences in actual yields. 
 
 It will be readily seen that the! results of an 
 absolutely perfect census of the products of a 
 single year would do manifest injustice, and 
 excite local dissatisfaction, as a basis for a show- 
 
 
ing of the relative productiveness of States under 
 existing conditions of rural development and 
 methods of husbandry. The fluctuations in rate 
 of yield are so wide that nothing less than a period 
 of ten years should be averaged for such a purpose. 
 Such an average, from the statistical records of 
 the Department, is the fairest basis available, 
 and may be relied upon as practically the real 
 measure of the production of the period. 
 
 It is proper to explain that the general average 
 for corn, 24.2 bushels, is lower than for the pre- 
 vious ten years, and probably below a real normal 
 average, on account of the successive recurrence 
 of causes of reduced production, notably in 1881 
 and 1887, and less conspicuously in 1883 and 1886. 
 The averages since 1880, with two exceptions, 
 have been lower than in any of the six preceding 
 years. It is believed to be the result of a series 
 of exceptional seasons, not likely to recur with 
 such frequency in the future. 
 
 The rate of yield must not be taken as a mea- 
 sure of the natural fertility of a State. In the 
 first group, in the map showing the corn yield, 
 there are seven States, and only two are in the 
 great corn belt, Ohio and Nebraska. Four are in 
 the Eastern and one is in the Middle States, where 
 small areas are highly fertilized. The second 
 group, having a range of averages from 31.1 to 27 
 bushels, includes New York and most of the 
 States north of 35° to 40° north latitude. Illinois 
 falls into the middle group by reason of the de- 
 structive droughts that have occurred since 1880. 
 The South has a broad area in corn, and very rich 
 soil, though the climate is more favorable to 
 growth of stalk than to heavy yields of grain. 
 
 The first group in wheat yields has a range of 
 16.6 to 19.6 bushels, and includes eleven States 
 and Territories, of which eight are in the Rocky 
 Mountains and on the Pacific Coast, and three in 
 New England, and represent comparatively little 
 wheat. The high rate of yield in one case is 
 due to a rich virgin soil, and in the other to 
 fertilization and cultivation. The second group, 
 with a yield from 13.6 to 15.9 bushels, includes 
 the winter wheat States between the lakes and 
 the Ohio Valley, and New York, and also Dakota 
 in the spring wheat region. Wisconsin and 
 Nebraska occupy a position in the middle group, 
 and Iowa a still lower place, with 10.3 bushels 
 as the average, 16 per cent, below the national 
 average. Yery large yields have occasionally 
 
 been made in the South, though the climate is not 
 very favorable to a high rate of production. It 
 is possible, by selection of localities and careful 
 husbandry, to produce crops of "wheat in this 
 region above the general average. 
 
 The averages in oats run highest in the higher 
 latitudes and elevations. They range from 37.3 
 to 10.1 bushels per acre. The highest average 
 is in Washington, which enjoys a moist climate 
 and moderately low temperature. 
 
 Another series of five maps illustrates the value 
 of farm animals — horses, milch cows, other cattle, 
 sheep and swine. The State averages are those 
 of ten annual estimates, and not for a single 
 year. The averages are those consolidated by the 
 Statistician of the Department of Agriculture 
 from returns of county averages, and they repre- 
 sent the values upon the farms, or the price paid 
 to farmers in the primary markets. 
 
 The apparently extraordinary range of prices 
 »:will at once attract attention, but will not excite 
 a suspicion of inaccuracy among those acquainted 
 with the facts. The largest factor in difference 
 in value is breed; care and feed are also impor- j 
 tant causes of difference in value; and the dis- 
 tance from market is another consideration affec- 
 ting value. 
 
 The first group in yalue of horses covers a 
 small territory, the four States, New Jersey, 
 Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Delaware, and 
 presents a range of prices from 196.21 to $87.06. 
 The second group has a range from $85.96 to 
 $75.22, comprising eleven political divisions, 
 including New York and Pennsylvania in the 
 Middle States, South Carolina and Georgia in the 
 Cotton States, and Minnesota and Dakota in the 
 Northwest. The first named are in a populous 
 section, demanding fine stock; the next men- 
 tioned are amply able to produce a surplus, while 
 depending on Tennessee and Kentucky and other 
 States for a large proportion of their domestic 
 deficiency; and the last are in an agricultural 
 region of so rapid settlement as to render present 
 importation an urgent necessity. The lower 
 groups are found in agricultural districts where 
 horses are raised for market as well as for use 
 on the farm. In these, the culling process, for 
 supplying the requirements, of the principal 
 markets, is continually reducing the value of the 
 remainder, the young and the less desirable of the 
 mature stock. In Texas the lowest average 
 
8 
 
 appears because of the large number raised and 
 the proportion of small animals of ' ' Spanish ' ' or 
 Mexican origin. There are herds of horses in 
 the Territories with a large infusion of good 
 blood, which command somewhat higher prices. 
 
 The extremes are great in values of cattle. The 
 lowest group represents Texan cattle, which 
 came from Mexico originally, and from Spain 
 more remotely — the longhorn tribes, hardy from 
 survival of the strongest, and unimproved through 
 generations of neglect. Until within fifteen years 
 they were the export cattle of the United States, 
 going to Cuba and adjacent Islands. They go 
 there still, and five nearly represent the value of 
 one fat shorthorn sent to England. In the more 
 distant Western States, the grazing region, the 
 average value is lower than in the States further 
 east which buy two-year-olds to feed and finish 
 for the market. There are various considerations 
 of breed, feed and distance from market, which 
 cause differences in average values. 
 
 The value of milch cows is indicated on a sepa- 
 rate map. Of course the groups above the aver- 
 age represent the dairy districts. In some of the 
 Territories, however, values are high because of 
 scarcity and demand for milk and butter in min- 
 ing camps, as the females of large grazing herds 
 are not reckoned as milch cows. 
 
 The value of sheep ranges from $3.70 to $1.34, 
 depending on breed and grade, quality and quan- 
 tity of wool, value for meat production and 
 distance from market. Every district has its pe- 
 culiarities in sheep husbandry, including pedi- 
 gree-stock growing, mutton producing, raising 
 early lambs, and exclusive wool growing. Three- 
 fourths of all are Merino breeds and their grades; 
 the English breeds are numerous in some sections; 
 and grade Mexicans are common in the Southwest. 
 
 The value of swine has an extreme range, 
 according to average age of slaughtering, which 
 affects the average of weight, as does also the 
 amount and kind of feed and length of feeding 
 season. Where swine are kept for home use 
 mainly, and the market for a possible surplus is 
 precarious, average prices are very low, and the 
 stock is usually slaughtered at an early age, as 
 pigs of small average weight. In the pork packing 
 regions, on the contrary, feeding is liberal and 
 weights are heavy while the demand is sure and 
 the prices generally remunerative. 
 
 The proportion of rural population is presented 
 
 in the fourteenth map of the list. The basis is 
 found in the record of numbers in all gainful occu- 
 pations in the United States, in 1880, by segrega- 
 ting all those occupations which in a broad sense 
 may be deemed related to agriculture. The pro- 
 portion was about 44 per cent, of all enumerated. 
 This was three per cent, less than in 1870. It is 
 probable that a census on the same basis, in 1890, 
 will show a slight further decrease. The highest 
 group includes those States having 83 down to 72 
 per cent.; the lowest from 15 down to 9 per cent. 
 It may be fairly assumed that this small percen- 
 tage of farm workers produce half the supplies 
 required in their States, and that 25 to 30 per 
 cent, of all could feed liberally the entire popu- 
 lation of the country. 
 
 An illustration of the variation in average val- 
 ues of farm lands, showing a range from $65.16 to 
 $4.19, places nine States in the highest group, four 
 in the second and seven in the middle group, which 
 includes States with averages from twenty per cent, 
 above to twenty per cent, below the national aver- 
 age, leaving twenty-six out of forty-six political 
 divisions with very low averages, the maximum 
 being $14.45. This is based upon the .last Census. 
 It is hoped that the enumeration of 1890 will show 
 a material increase in these low values, as the re- 
 sult of the diversification of industry and a better 
 employment of surplus labor for which there has 
 heretofore been no profitable use. 
 
 The last map of the album series shows the 
 relative proportions of proprietors, tenants paying 
 money rent, and tenants paying a share of pro- 
 duce in lieu of rent, in the active management 
 of farms. It shows that 74.5 per cent, of all 
 farms are cultivated by their owners. The pro- 
 portion of share tenants is nominally 17.5 per cent. 
 An examination of the table reveals the fact that 
 they are mostly in the Cotton States. A more 
 thorough investigation proves that the freedmen 
 occupants are generally tenants in name only, with 
 a pretence of independent occupancy, living not 
 on separate farms but on temporary subdivisions 
 of land without any substantial appurtenances of 
 a farm, and without the working capital necessary 
 to habilitate a man as a working farmer. The ten- 
 ants who pay a money rent are but 8 per cent, of all. 
 
 The Album of Agricultural Statistics is pre- 
 sented to the people of the United States as an 
 aid to their clear and instant appreciation of some 
 of the leading facts of American agriculture.

 The single idea of proportion of the entire land surface not m farms, 
 and of the several classes of farm lands, is alone considered. The 
 first division represents that part of the surface not included in farm, 
 area; the other divisions show the proportion which is productive, the 
 woodland, and the farm land which is unused or unprodutive. These 
 divisions are slwwn in distinct and separate calms. The States are

 This map is intended to show the proportion of the superficial area 
 of each State of the United States which is cultivated in corn ; the 
 acreage seeded in this cereal for every thousand acres of the superfi- 
 cial area. The States are placed in five groups, each distinguish- 
 ed by separate tints or degrees of intensity in color, those having the 
 largest proportion of the total area in solid color, the other groups 
 relieved by gradation indicated both by tint and mechanical drawing, 
 thus employing both form and color to aid the eye in distinguishing the 
 groups. The figures printed in the center of each State show the

 EXPLANATION. 
 
 In this map the differences of State averages of value of horses, 
 from the average of the United States for ten years past, are 
 expressed in percentages above or below that general average, the plus 
 or minus sign being prefixed to the percentage of each State to 
 distinguish the two classes of percentages. The States are placed 
 in five groups, each class distinguislied by separate tints, each 
 including a certain range of average values, and of percentages 
 above or below the general average, which is $60.11. These dif- 
 ferences of value are due to differences of breed, distance from 
 market, proportions of young and mature animals respectively in 
 pastoral and manufacturing States and otter local causes affect- 
 ing values.

 from the average of the United States for ten years past, are 
 expressed in percentages above or below that general average, the plus 
 or minus sign being prefixed to the percentage of each State to 
 distinguish the two classes of percentages. The States are placed 
 in five groups, each distinguish by separate tints, each including 
 a certain range of average values, and of percentages above or

 of value are due to breed, age, weight, distance from market, and 
 other local causes affecting values. In the South the necessity for 
 slaughtering in December or January reduces the average age 
 and weight.

 EXPLANATION. 
 
 In this map the differences of State percentages of rural work- 
 ers to total numbers engaged in all occupations, m relation to the 
 average percentage of the United States, are expressed in percent- 
 ages above or beloio the general average, tlie plus or minus sign be- 
 inqprefxed to tU percentage of each State to distinguish the two 
 classes of percentages. The States are placed in five groups, each 
 class distinguished, by separate tints, each including a certain 
 range of State percentages. Thus is practically represented the 
 proportion of rural to total population by States; and the figures 
 in the center of each State show, in percentage form, the relation 
 of each State average to the general average indicating the propor- 
 tion of rural to total population of the United States.

 In this map the differences of State averages of mine per acre 
 are expressed in percentages above or below the general average of 
 the United States, the plus or minus sign being prefixed to the 
 percentage of each State to distinguish the twoclasses of percentages. 
 The States are placed in five groups, each distinguished by sepa- 
 rate tints, each including a certain range of average values and 
 gradations by percentage above and below the general average 
 ZhichZ $19 02 per a7e. It is easy to see the relative position of 
 States in value per acre, first by the color gradations and more 
 exactly by the figures printed in the centre of each State.

 EXPLANATION. 
 
 The semi-circles are of the same size, representing the total number 
 of farms in each State without regard to number or extent of terri- 
 tory occupied. Tlie single idea of proportion of the farms cultivated 
 under each class of tenure is alone considered. The first division 
 represents the farms carried on by their proprietors ; the second, 
 those held by tenants who pay a mon-ey rent ; the third, those occu- 
 pied by renters who pay a stipulated share of the produce for the use 
 of the land. It should be stated that the large proportion of the lat- 
 ter class in the South is due to the aversion of the freedman to 
 working for wages, wlw are virtually farm laborers rather than ten- 
 antfarmers.
