Abstract
The staple crops are wheat and corn, while live-stock offers the second source of the county's wealth. Alfalfa is also grown on the lowland where the stately cottonwood lends its sheltering aid. Fruit as well as shade trees are industriously planted on farms. The white or silver leaf poplar, the Carolina poplar, the American elm, the slippery elm, the white ash, the black walnut, bqffaloberry, hackberry and red cedar seem well adapted for the county. The Chinese arbor vitaes suffered much from the blizzard of March, 1931. Honey locust and black locust are naturalized, the soft maple is less frequently found, the Chinese elm is of rather recent introduction.
