CALHOUN COUNTY SOME FACTS AND FIGURES


C ALHOUN COUNTY, with a total of 3,761 farms in an area of 693 square miles, is distinctly a farm county. More thai 92 per cent. of the entire area of the county is in its farms and more than 75 per cent. is under cultivation. The farms are, as : rule, of more than average size, less than 3 per cent. being under ter acres. They are almost without exception profitable and correspondingly valuable. The farmers, as a class, are the most prosperous folks in the county. In view of the number of farmers, that is in itself a statemen of the wealth of this section.


The farm population of Calhoun County is almost exclusively native born white. There are few foreign and only 12 negro farmers in the entire county, according to the most recent United States Governmen statistics.


It is interesting to note the number of farms in the county operater by their owners. Of this class there are 2,760 or 73 per cent. On thousand five hundred and three, or 54 per cent. of them are reporter

CALHOUN COUNTY


free of mortgage debt. This is an exceptionally large percentage. Of the balance, the remarkably low mortgage indebtedness of only 33 per .cent. of the entire valuation is carried. Even in the absence of other statistical figures, these mortgage statements alone would indicate ex- ceptional prosperity among Calhoun County farmers.


The largest single crop, and the one produced most generally throughout the entire county, is corn, of which 1,996,456 bushels were produced in 1910, a notably bad crop year, but the latest for which authoritative figures are available. Following closely on this for quantity is oats, with a total of 1,219,747 bushels; wheat comes next, with 896,157 bushels, and potatoes fourth, with 532,788 bushels. The combined total value of these four crops was in excess of three million dollars.


Everywhere is an atmosphere of hard work. Everyone takes work seriously and as a matter of course. There is no false pride about it, and no failure to realize its importance and its necessity. Rich farmers' wives, and sons and daughters, take pride in their fine butter, their eggs, their vegetables, their chickens and their stock. The relations between the people of the farms and the people of the county seat are most cordial. The farmers deposit their savings in the local banks, and deal in the local stores.


This directory is published in the belief that it will serve to acquaint the residents of one end of the county with those of the other. We believe it to be accurate. We realize, however, that even in the most carefully compiled and printed books certain errors are bound to appear, and we apologize in advance for any such that may be found by our subscribers.

MEASURING HAY AND CORN


Hay is often sold in the mow or stack where the weight has to be estimated. For this purpose 400 cubic feet of hay is considered a ton. The actual weight of 400 cubic feet of hay will vary ac- cording to the quality of the hay, time of cutting, position in mow, etc. For making an estimate in a given case multiply together the length, breadth and height of the mow or stack in feet and divide the product by 400. The quotient will be the number of tons.


Corn is measured by the following rule: A heaped bushel contains 2,748 cubic inches. To find the number of bushels of corn in a crib it is therefore necessary merely to multiply together the length, width and height in inches and divide the product by 2,748. The number of bushels of shelled corn will be two-thirds of the quotient. If the sides of the crib are slanting, it will be necessary to multiply together one- half the sum of the top and bottom widths with the height and length.


The legal weight of a bushel of shelled corn in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia is 56 pounds.


In Pennsylvania, Virginia and Mary- land 32 pounds constitute a bushel of oats; in New Jersey, 30 pounds.


A bushel of wheat is placed at 60 pounds by most of the states of the Union.


Pennsylvania recognizes 56 pounds as a bushel of white potatoes. In Mary- land, New Jersey and Virginia the legal weight is 60 pounds.


A bushel of clover seed in Pennsyl- vania must weigh 60 pounds; in Mary- land, 60 pounds; in New Jersey, 64 pounds; in Virginia, 60 pounds.


A bushel of timothy seed in Pennsyl- vania must weigh 45 pounds, and the same weight in most adjacent states.

Seed Per Acre


It requires less seed per acre to sow in hills or rows than to sow broadcast. The hill or row system permits of after cultivation, which is not possible with a broadcasted crop. In all calculations for hill and drills it must be remembered that an acre of land contains 43,560 square feet. A square piece of land, 209 feet on a side, contains about an acre. The following figures are merely suggestive, as practice varies with locality :


ALFALFA, 25 to 30 lbs, broadcast.


ASPARAGUS, 4 to 5 lbs. in drills; 1 oz. to 50 feet of row.


BARLEY, 11/2 to 2 bushels drilled; 2 to 21/2 bushels broadcast.

Shingles Required in a Roof


Double the rafters and multiply by length of building. Multiply this by 9 if exposed 4 inches, by 8 if exposed 41/2 inches, and by 7 1/5 if exposed 5 inches to the weather.


One thousand shingles, laid 4 inches to the weather, will cover 100 square feet of surface.


Eight hundred shingles, 5 inches to


the weather, will cover 100 square feet.


One thousand shingles require 5 pounds of four-penny nails.


Five to ten per cent. should be al- lowed to these figures to cover waste and shortage.


One thousand laths will cover 70 yards of surface, and take 11 pounds of nails. Two hundred and fifty pickets will make 100 lineal feet of fence.


Nails Required


For 1,000 shingles, 31/2 to 5 pounds 4d., or 3 to 31/2 pounds 3d.


For 1,000 laths about 7 pounds 3d. fine, or 8 pounds 2d. fine. For 1,000 feet clapboards (siding), about 18 pounds 6d. box.


For 1,000 feet covering boards, about 20 pounds 8d. common, or 25 pounds 10d.

Lime on the Farm


The use of lime on the farm is growing every year. The farmer who uses it finds it pays and uses more; then his neighbor tries it with the same experience. Agri- cultural Experiment Stations have proven its value in records of results over periods of years. All reports agree that the necessity of its presence in the soil is second only to drainage.


Where lime is lacking in the soil, it is a waste to supply other ferti- lizers or even manure, because the full benefit of their application is only attained when the soil is .sweet-has a plentiful lime supply. The more green or stable manure put on, the more fertilizer applied, the greater the need of lime, for the decay of any of these in their change to plant food forms acid and tends to soil acidity.


All legumes thrive in soils well supplied with lime. Legumes such as alfalfa, red clover, soy beans, etc., are plants having power to take nitrogen from the air; and since the bacteria necessary to their growth will not thrive where lime is lacking, lime becomes the indirect means of supplying nitrogen neces- sary to all plants.


.


Not only legume crops are bene- fited by the application of lime, but corn, oats, wheat, fruit trees, etc. Experiments at Wooster show a net increase for lime of more than $20 per acre in a five-year rotation. Old pastures should be top- dressed with carbonate of lime, two .


to four tons per acre will not hurt. Lime not only adds to the abundance and quality of the grass, but also is of value from a sanitary point, helping destroy germs of infectious diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, hog cholera, etc.


Lime may be had in Ohio in several forms: Lump caustic, ground caustic, hydrated, and ground raw limestone. Lump caus- tic should be air-slaked before applying to the soil. Hydrated lime is the caustic lime sufficiently slaked with water to take away much of the undesirable qualities in handling, and in the process it is reduced to a fineness which makes it quickly available to do its work in the soil.


Ground limestone, or carbonate of lime, is the raw rock ground or pulverized. In it, fineness is especi- ally desirable.


Limestone quarried or mined in some sections differs in analysis from that of other sections, but the basis of all is calcium carbonate.


All cultivated soil sooner or later needs an application of lime in one or the other of its forms, and the farmer who recognizes this fact and supplies the need will find it profitable. But it is important to remember that lime should never be applied so that it will come into direct contact with manure or nitrogenous fertilizers. Use it at a different time, or in such a way that the two will not mix.
