ALLEGANY COUNTY

Area, 1,047 square miles. Population, 41,412. Annual precipitation, 42.4 inches. Annual mean temperature, 47.5°. Number of farms, 4,937. Average value of farm lands per acre, $37.32. County seat, Belmont.

Located in what is known as the southern tier of counties west of the center of the state.

The surface features are rough and mountainous. The county is traversed by deep valleys the sides of which are, in many places, too steep for cultivation. Some of the elevations are from 500 to 800 feet above the valleys and from 2,000 to 2,500 above tide water. The Genesee river flows northeast and a little to the west of the center of the county, and many of the tributaries of this river have cut deep valleys in different directions.

The soil of the county is known as the volusia soil. These soils are derived through feeble glaciation and consist of a gray, light brown or pale yellow silt loam. The volusia loam is the most important agricultural soil of the volusia series. The soil upon the upland is generally a heavy clay. This soil is excellently adapted for grazing, and wherever found dairying can be profitably engaged in. It is good soil for grains and general farming. Notwithstanding the roughness of the surface features, Allegany county contains many excellent farms and farm lands. The lines of communication necessarily follow the valleys and pass in crooked lines throughout the county. There are more than fifteen hundred miles of graded and improved highways. There are many villages in the county but no large cities. The excellent school advantages are shown by the 245 district schools and Alfred University. This university, located at Alfred, offers a four-year course in agri

culture.

Some of the leading crops of the county are as follows: Corn, 94,126 bushels; oats, 935,955 bushels; wheat, 28,147 bushels; barley, 39,000 bushels; buckwheat, 170,620 bushels; rye, 6,385 bushels; potatoes, 1,631,123 bushels; hay and forage, 175,279 tons. The county ranks fifth in the production of potatoes and fourth in the number of farms. There are twenty-two agricultural societies for the purpose of promoting agricultural interests and improvement of rural life.

The dairy interest is shown in the 39,573 milch cows found on the farms of the county. The other live-stock being horses, 13,542; swine, 14,002; sheep, 24,320; a small poultry, 187,579. The total value of all farm property is $26,071,862, increase over that of 1900, namely, $1.21 per acre.
