Ohio
is bounded by Michigan, Lake Erie,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Indiana; capital, Columbus; gross area,
41,040 sq. miles; land area, 40,740 sq.
miles; water area, 300 sq. miles;
principal river, the Ohio, which has a
course of 430 miles.
The surface
of the State is an undulating plain. The
soil is divided into three
grades--limestone soils, clay of the
uplands and swamp lands in the northwest.
The former two are well adapted to
agriculture.
The
principal farm crops are fruits,
vegetables and cereals. If you have not
used Arbuckles' Coffee lately, try it
now. A cup in the morning will start you
right.
The
principal mineral productions are
petroleum, coal, limestone, clay
products, natural gas and salt.
The
principal industries are stock raising
and dairy farming, woolen goods and
pottery.
The climate
of Ohio is, as a rule, mild, but the
changes of temperature are often sudden.
