IONIA COUNTY


SOME FACTS AND FIGURES


I


ONIA COUNTY, with a total of 3,602 farms in an area of 579 square miles, is distinctly a farm county. More than 94 per cent. of the entire area of the county is in its farms, and more than 79 per cent. is under cultivation. The farms are, as a rule, of more than average size, about 2 per cent. being under ten 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 farms, that is in itself a statement of the wealth of this section.


The farm population of Ionia County is almost exclusively native- born white.


It is interesting to note the number of farms in the county operated by their owners. Of this class there are 2,758, or 76 per cent. One thou- sand five hundred and three, or 54 per cent. of them, are operated free of mortgage debt. This is an exceptionally large percentage. Of the balance, the remarkably low mortgage indebtedness of only 31 per cent. of the entire valuation is carried. Even in the absence of other statistical

Be Ready For Opportunity


The man who has a Savings. Account is prepared to take advantage of opportunities when they are offered. His experience has taught him that the only opportunities that can do him any good are those which he is in a position to grasp. He knows that he must be prepared beforehand.


A Savings Account at this bank pays you 31/2 per cent. interest compounded semi-annually. In case you need the money you can call and get it any time. If you should not pay any attention to the account whatever, your interest goes on just the same, and is added to the balance every six months. Such an account grows rapidly.


Let us help you to get in position to grasp the next opportunity that comes your way. We invite you to open a Savings Account with us.

figures, these mortgage statements alone would indicate exceptional pros- perity among Ionia County farmers.


The largest single crop, and the one produced most generally through- out the entire county, is corn, of which 1,370,033 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, of which 877,953 bushels were produced; potatoes come next with a total of 657,816 bushels, and wheat with 583,170 bushels. The combined value of these four crops was in excess of two and one-half 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.
