1. This also includes "nut” types. 2 This is also reported to have included small quantities of oleomargarine made "exclusively from animal oil” from 1917 through 1925.

3 This total represents the sum of the quantities shown for each type and is the total as reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The total reported by the Bureau of Internal Revenue is considered to be more accurate, but it is not broken down by types.
