NEW  YORK.  (By  F,  E.  Dawley.)  Probably  in
no  other  state  is  the  agriculture  so  varied  as  in  New
York.  This  is  partly  because  of  natural  conditions

leads  the  states  in  dairy  products,  potatoes,  hay,
farm-forest  and  other  products,  and  is  one  of  the
two  or  three  leading  states  in  horticulture.
Long  Island  is  largely  a  sandy  plain,  some  parts


of  it  fertile,  others  barren.  Geologically  it  has  about
the  same  formation  as  sections  of  North  Carolina,
Virginia,  Delaware  and  Maryland.  The  more  fertile
sections  are  well  adapted  to  potatoes,  cucumbers,
melons  and  general  garden  truck.  Poultry-raising,
Tioth  for  eggs  and  market  fowls,  is  largely  practiced.
