03. .O4 acres each. But little over one
fourth of the land in the county was
improved at this date; leaving large
wilderness yet to succumb to the civil
izing influences of the brain and mus
Gle of the hardy pioneer.
The number of acres of wheat to each
100 acres of improvement, in 1879, was
2z.45; and the average yield per acre
of wheat, was 1875 bushels. To show
the rapid growth ofthis industry (wheat
producing) we will state that i'm 1876
there were 665 acres, yielding $3.50
bushels, or an average of 1926 bushels
per acre. In tie following year, there
were 100 acres, TO- 1876 bushels, average,
1883 bushels Per acre. The next year,
! ,2l2 acres, l3, 7SG bushels, an average
of IL. 20 bushels. In 1879, there were
,432 acres, yielding 49, $50 bushels; the
average asstated above. In May, 1850,
therc were l,0l2 acres OH the ground;
and estimating at the average of the
previous year, would give about $4,000
bushels as the product.
In 1879, the number OF bushels OF po-
tatoes produced IN the county was 25,-
2S7, from 3iT acres; SIT tons Of hay
from ,224 acres; 1,Gl4 bushels peas
rom l23 acres; S07 bushels barley from
i;3 acres; 12,544 bushels ears of corn
from 427 acres, and Z ,SU2 bushels outs
from $40 acres.
There were 206} acres OF apple or
rhartls in tile county, in 1850.
The live stock of tie county, IN 1879,
was as follows: There were 354 sheep,
producing l,S72 lbs of wool, or an aver
aye of 5. 30 lbs to each sheep. The num-
her of sheep WAS more than double that
in Mason county, same year; Il third
more than in Manistee county, nearly
four times rs many us in Bcnzie coun-
ty; more than twice as many as in
Wexford county. The average yield
of wool per sheep was greater in Lake
county than in Ingham, Eaton, Barry,
Allegan, Kalamazoo, VanBuren, Clin-
ton, Monroe, Wayne and some twenty
more of those counties in the State
where the annual product of wool runs
up into the tens of thousands of pounds.
In 1880, the flock ofsheep had increased
to 47S, over % per cent. In the same
year, there were in the county, 2Sl
horses, 400 mich cows, 754 cattle, 9TH
or than cows, and $40 hogs.
or the townships, Chnse takes the
lead i'm amount of improved farms; hav-
ing, in 1880, more than double that Of
any other township. Ellsworth town
ship comes iii second, Pinora, third;
and those townships rate in nearly
the same manner In the aggregate yield
of grains, and In the amount of stock.
The above figures are compiled from
official reports to the Secretary of State,
and may ne considered as very nearly,
ii not exact. The progress making in
the county Is exceedingly encouraging;
and If the same ratio of development
continues, il is only question of time
i'm the near future when Lake attains n
place i'm the front rank of wealthy and
populous counties of the State.
