Agricultural Products. -- The agricultural resources of our county make a very fair showing. While our farms are not, as in some of the Western States, immense territories, yielding fabulous crops, they give evidence of the prosperity of the many, rather than the opulence of a few, -- a healthy state of things, indicating the thrift, independence and contentment of the people. Westchester County contains 2991 farms, of which 2385 are cultivated by their owners, 455 are rented for fixed money rentals and 151 are rented for shares of products.
