that much longer. Everywhere in the state 

 the rainfall is sufficient for agriculture, the 

 amount varying from thirty-five inches in the 

 north to forty-six in the Ohio valley. Heavy 

 snowstorms are common in the north in winter, 

 but the southern -portion has comparatively 

 little snow. 



Agriculture. With its favorable climate and 

 its fertile soil, Indiana is excellently adapted 

 to agriculture. Almost everywhere the forests 

 have been cut down; to-day about ninety-four 

 per cent of the total land of the state is 

 in farms, and of this farm area almost eighty 

 per cent is improved. The crops are varied, 

 but corn stands always at the head of the list 

 in value; in corn production Indiana is sur- 

 passed only by Illinois, Iowa and sometimes 



Nebraska and Missouri, its crop being about 

 six per cent of that of the entire United States. 

 The corn crop averages nearly 200,000,000 

 bushels yearly, with a value of over $90,000,000. 

 Wheat, the second crop in importance, is worth 

 about half as much. Hay and oats rank next, 

 while in the river region of the south, with its 

 very fertile loess (which see), tobacco is a valu- 

 able crop. Indiana ranks ninth in wheat acre- 

 age, and seventh or eighth in production, the 

 latter averaging about 40,000,000 bushels. 



In the northwestern part of the state, in the 

 lake basin, is a region which is practically a 

 great marsh, under flood every spring; but here 

 a special system of underdraining, with mil- 

 lions of yards of drain tiles, has been intro- 

 duced, and vast truck farms have been devel-
