Through The Years by Marie Schaettgen Mini Chapter 9 Agriculture in Early v McHenry County Agriculture in early McHenry county was not • the efficient business it is today. Our farmers with their corn pickers, hay loaders, powerful tractors and commercial fertilizers, to say nothing of government pamph* lets, farm bureaus, scientific knowledge and help, bear little resemblance to the farmer of their grandfathers' day. That early farmer had little or no "book-learning." He was not the product of an agricultural college as our neighbor farmer is apt to be. There was no gentleman firmer class now so abundant in our prosperous county. The farmer then farmed to live. It was a serious vocation, hot a pleasant avocation. If* his crops failed he had nothing else to draw from. His very existence and that of his family depended upon his being a good farmer. What he lacked in scientific knowledge he made up in hard work and long hours. • The early farmer hid implements, of course, but what implements! They consisted mostly of hoes, spades and shovels which were only as good as the village blacksmiths' skill could make them. Corn was planted by hand. Wheat was sown by hand. When the grain was ripe it was threshed by hand or trampled out by horses. The McHenry courtty farmer often travelled sixty miles to get his grain or corn ground. Quite a far cry^from the present farmer who has a corn grinder come to his farm every few days or as often as necessary. The settlement giew by- leaps and bounds and soon it was evident something had to be done about mills. Before long sm.ll mills, run by water, power, sprung up around the county. Agriculture has come a long way in the short century since our forefathers settled here. The community met each problem as it arose and found the answers to many perplexing questions. Least of all these .was Wall street in New York was so named because it follows the line of the pal:saded wall or stockade built m 1652 across the southern end of Manhattan Island.
