$8,000,000. The state is a large producer of 

 fruit, especially of apples, peaches and grapes; 

 in the number of apple trees it is among tin- 

 foremost in the Union. Nearly 18,000,000 

 bushels of apples were produced in 1916, but 

 tin output in average years is about 11,500,000. 

 Peaches and grapes thrive in the counties along 

 Lako Erie, where both soil and climate are fa- 



lo to their growth. 

 Live Slock. Ohio ranks with Wyoming. 



it ana, New Mexico and Idaho as an im- 

 portant sheep-raising state. The south a-t< rn 

 corner of the state, where the hills arc oft. n 



n and always hard to till, affords excel- 

 Ifiit KM/nm for sheep. There were 3,067,000 



P in 1916, and the annual wool clip is about 

 14,000,000 pounds. Raising of live stock form- 

 one of the chief occupations of the inhabitants. 

 In 1910 Ohio ranked fifth among the states in 

 the viilw of hvr-stock sold and shu^h; 

 on fauns, and in live-stock products, which 



:nt.<l to over $155,000,000. The states 1 

 ing it were Iowa. Illinois, Missouri and K 



sas. The best land suitable for pasturage is 

 situated in the northeastern corner, and there 

 dairy farming has become an important in- 

 dustry. There were 922,000 milch cows in 1916. 



Forests. This region was formerly covered 

 with dense forests composed mostly of hard- 

 wood timber, intermingled with white pine. 

 Most of it was cut down during the nineteenth 

 century but a little over twenty per cent of 

 the whole area is still wooded. The chid" tl 

 found are oak, several vain ties of hickory, ash, 

 poplar, pine, elm, birch, locust, beech, walnut, 

 tnut and hemlock. Ohio ranks high among 

 the states of the Union in the production of 

 hardwood timber. The annual cut exceeds 

 400,000,000 feet, board measure, but this is leas 

 than half the amount cut in 1900. The timber 

 serves as raw material for a great number of 

 ill-' state's industries. 



Minerals. Ohio ranks fourth among tin- 

 states of the Union in the value of its mineral 

 products, which averages about $115,000,000 

 in the year. From this total is excluded the
