passed only by Iowa. In 1914 the state con- 

 structed one of the largest hog serum plants in 

 the country. Sheep raising is carried on ex- 

 tensively in the grassy uplands of the south, 

 and in the horse markets Missouri is noted for 

 its fine, blooded stock. In 1916 the total value 

 of the live stock in the state was $267,504,000. 



Forests. Over forty per cent of the total area 

 of the state is timberland, and the lumber in- 

 dustry gives employment to a greater number 

 than any other industry but the boot-and-shoe 

 manufactures. The hardwoods of the Ozark 

 region furnish the most valuable lumber. Ce- 

 dars are found in the eastern section, and 

 swamps of cypress border the southeastern riv- 

 ers. The total value of the lumber products of 

 the state exceeds $8,400,000 annually. 



Minerals. Although an agricultural state, 

 Missouri has vast mineral wealth and leads all 

 of the other states of the XJnion in the produc- 



tion of zinc, lead, tripoli and barytes. The 

 great lead mines of southeastern Missouri, espe- 

 cially those in Saint Frangois and Madison 

 counties, recently have shown a greater devel- 

 opment than any other lead-producing district 

 in the United States, and since 1908 have sur- 

 passed the Coeur d'Alene district in Idaho, for- 

 merly the leading lead region in the Union. 

 The lead product, which exceeds $15,000,000 in 

 value, together with the zinc, the value of which 

 is over $10,000,000, forms over one-half of the 

 entire mineral output of the state. The great 

 zinc industry in the mountainous region in the 

 southwest has caused the rapid growth of Jop- 

 lin and of Webb City. 



Missouri's coal fields in the northwestern part 

 of the state cover over 23,000 square miles and 

 are continuations of the coal deposits in Kan- 

 sas and Iowa. This state was the first of those 

 west of the Mississippi to mine coal, but owing
