KANKAKEE COUNTY. 

 (Reported by O. W. Barnard, Manteno. ) 



This county has a sandy ridge extending across it that is 

 well adapted to fruit growing. There are many small fruit and 

 vegetable growers of from one to ten acres who grow for the 

 Chicago market. The means for collecting careful statistics of 

 the above were not at hand, but to show that fruits are grown 

 for market in Northern Illinois, the following is given as a 

 sample, and it is only fair to say that in the vicinity of the 

 larger towns in Northern Illinois many acres are devoted to 

 small fruits for the local markets. 



In Kankakee county the largest growers are: 



B. J. Wakeman Grapes, 1 acre, produced in 1893, 3,500 

 pounds; raspberries, 5 acres; blackberries, 7 acres; strawber- 

 ries, 4 acres. Total, 17 acres. Value of product sold, $1,663. 



P. A. Bonvallet Grapes, 20 acres, 45,000 pounds; value, 

 $1,350. 



A. L. Small Pie-plant, 30 acres, 342,600 pounds; value,
