unglaciated townships and this was true of both sections studied. 
The average values per acre (considering total areas, whether 
cultivated or not), were considerably greater in both of the gla- 
ciated portions than in the corresponding unglaciated districts. 
The following were the results obtained : 
Value of 
Total Total products 
values acreage per acre 
Canton area 
Glaciated $5,238,780 204,022 $25.6 
Unglaciated $1,727,169 95,613 $18.1 
Millersbiirg area 
Glaciated $2,621,592 137,237 $19.1 
Unglaciated $2,348,581 142,980 $16.5 
It is seen that this result is just opposite to that obtained in 
comparing amounts per acre, when only the acreage devoted to the 
crop considered was included. 
The explanation of this seeming discrepancy is found in a com- 
parison of the percentages of cultivated land in the different town- 
ships. Regularly throughout the glaciated townships the percent- 
ages of cultivated land were much greater than in the unglaciated 
ones. This is evident from the following figures: 
* Average per cent of Average per cent of

In the unglaciated townships a much larger proportion of the land 
was used as pasture or was wooded. The action of the glacier in 
smoothing the land and rendering more of the country available 
for cultivation is plainly shown by these results. 
The values of live stock were then compared for all the town- 
ships. Sheep were raised much more extensively in the ungla- 
ciated areas, due to the great extent of land which was unavailable 
for much but sheep pasturage. The number and value of all other
