VOLUME 10. NUMBER 207. GOVERNMENT ISSUES DAIRY REPORT BASED ON THE CENSUS TAKEN IN 1910 Was Written By Dr. John L. Coulter, Formerly of Crookston and the University of Minnesota. VALUE OF PRODUCTS INCREASES Total Revenue of 4,413,333 Farms in- 1810 Was $120,000,000 Larger Than In 1909. GOPHER STATE A LEADER Stands Third in the Production of Butter Which Sold for Average of $0.242 Per Pound. i Spectal to The Ploneer. Washington, D. C., Dec. - 28.—A bulletin summarizing the data col- lected for dairy products in the Uni- ted States for 1909 has just been is- sued by Directer Durand of the bureau of the census, department of commerce and labor. It was prepar- ed under the supervision of John Lee Coulter, expert special agent for agri- culture, and formerly in the faculty; of the University of Minnesota and a native of Crookston. ‘There were 5,140,869 farms in the United States for whieh the enumer- ators reported dairy cows on: April 15, 1910. only 4,413,333 of | these farms were dairy products of any kind reported as produced in 1909, and for only 4,021,460 was the quantity of milk produced in 1909 stated. R The total number of dairy cows on farms.April 15, 1910, was reported-as 20,625,000, while the. number on farms which reported the production of any kind of dairy products in 1909 was 18,746,000, or 90.9 per cent of the total number, and the number on farms which reported the production of milk in 1909 was 16,069,000, or 77.9 per cent of the total. In consid- ering these figures, it should be borne in mind that there is no precise dis- tinction between dairy cows and cows not kept for milk. In a good many cases enumerators probably reported as dairy cows animals which in faet were primarily kept for breed- ing purposes and which were only milked for short periods, if at all, during the preceding year. The total production of milk re- ported for 1909 was 5,814,000,000 gallons; the true total probably ex- ceeded this by not less than ten per cent. There were, on April 15, 1910, 16,069,000 dairy cows on the farms reporting this milk. Assuming that there were the same number in 1909, the average production of milk per cow would be 362 gallons. The total value of dairy products of farms in 1909, exclusive of milk and cream consumed on the farm, was reported as $596,413,000. This]| represents the sum of the receipts from the sale of milk, cream, and butter fat (amounting in all to‘ $872,403,000), and the value of all: butter and cheese produced on farms, | whether sold or retained for home| use (amounting to $224,010,000). Value of Dairy Products. The total reported value of dairy products sold in 1909 was $473,769, 000, of which the value of milk, cream, and butter fat sold represent- ed nearly four-fifths and that of but-| ter most of the remainder. The-‘ quantity of milk sold as such was re-| ported as 1,937.000,000 gallons, or| substantially one-third of the total reported as produced; but it should| be borne in mind that a great deal of milk sold or delivered to creameries for butter making is paid for on the basis of the cream or butter fat con- tent, in which case the quantity of such cream or butter fat was usual- 1y reported on the census schedules and not the quantity of milk. The greater part of the milk reported as sold was doubtless consumed as such, chiefly in cities and villages, but a considerable quantity represents milk delivered to condensed-milk and cheese factories, and some small part milk delivered to creameries for the production of butter and reported as milk instead of on the basis of the cream or butter fat contained. i For Butter and Cheese. The reported farm production ot| butter and of cheese in 1909—994,- 651,000 pounds and 9,406,000 pounds HOWARD STAYS IN JALL E. D. Howard, brought here from Thief River Falls a week ago on a petit larceny charge preferred by J. B. Hanson, was found guilty in municipal court this morning and sentenced to sixty-five days in the county jail. He was mnot given the option of a fine. Howard was accused of forging a check- for twenty-five dollars on the Marcum Printing company and pass- ing it to J. B. Hanson. At the time the warrant for his arrest was sworn out, the check was not with the of- ficers so that the charge was made petit larceny. Later it was decidn” not to make the charge forgery as a conviction under that charge would carry a penitentiary sentence. Howard came to Bemidji about two months ago posing as an advertising and newspaper subscription expert and was received in the best business and social circles. MASQUERADE SKATE JAN. 3. Wm. MacLachlan has set January 3 as the date for the roller skate masquerade which he has been plan- ning for some time.

Batcheldor, who opened a store on Minnesota avenue several months ago, is planning on making arrangements to rent the room occu- pied by the Bemidji Creamery for the winter months.
