from grasses grown on the pasture lands of 

 the state sometimes yield over 11,000,000 tons, 

 valued at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. 



Oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other 

 market vegetables are raised in large quanti- 

 ties. Sorghum cane is an important crop, in 

 which Kentucky shares leadership among states 

 with Tennessee and Missouri. Orchard fruits, 

 especially apples and peaches, are extensively 

 grown; strawberries, blackberries and raspber- 

 ries are less important. Kentucky is the prin- 

 cipal hemp-growing state of the Union> its 

 crop being ninety per cent of the total pro- 

 duction of the country. 



Stock Raising. The superb pasture afforded 

 by the blue-grass region; the mild climate, in 

 which cattle can remain in the field nearly 



all winter; the large production of corn, ai 

 the streams of pure, clear water have all cc 

 tributed to make Kentucky an importai 

 stock-raising state. Kentucky is famous fc 

 thoroughbred horses. Many of the most fame 

 horses on the American turf have been Kei 

 tucky-bred; probably the greatest horse-bree( 

 ing district in the world is contained in a 

 counties in the blue-grass region. In vali 

 horses represent about thirty-five per cent 

 the state's live stock, which amounts to aboi 

 $115,000,000. Cattle form thirty per cent 

 mules twenty per cent. Dairy products are in 

 portant, and the state raises also a great nui 

 ber of fowls. With its 1,000,000 sheep, Kei 

 tucky is one of the important minor wool-pi 

 ducing states, its yearly wool clip amounting
