Title	Farmers' Centennial History of Ohio
Subject	Agriculture Centennial celebrations Almanacs
Place	Springfield (Ohio) Clark County (Ohio)
Description	Published in 1904 to mark the 100th anniversary of Ohio statehood, this almanac documents the progress and achievements of agriculture. The first 53 pages are included here and provide information on the state's agricultural history from its beginnings, when virtually all of the residents were involved in some form of agriculture, to the publishing date, when diversification and specialization of careers was becoming more apparent. The complete volume is 157 pages and measures 6.25" x 9.25" (15.88 x 23.5 cm). Other sections of the book include statistics on truck crop yields, cash commodities (tobacco, broom corn, hops, and willows), and production of wheat, corn, oats, and lesser grains. Development of horticultural and plant breeding endeavors in the state are related to the emigration of German grape growers. The livestock section lists, in order of value to the economy, horses, cattle, sheep, and swine; there is special emphasis on the value of the beeswax produced in the state. The almanac section has lists tables of taxation, transportation, and education, relating each to its impact on the agricultural community. The concluding section shows Ohio's contribution to the agricultural output of the United States.
