a MINNESOTA DAIRY PRODUCTS IN-LEAD (Continued from first page.) 5 Blackduck; Chas. improved pasture, land lying fallow, housge and farm yards, and land oc- cupied by orchards and vineyards, the acreage for which was not reported. The general character of Minne- sota agriculture is indicated by the fact that about three-fourths (72.8 per cent) of the toal value of crops in 1909 was conributed by the cereals, and about one-eighth (13.8 per cent) by hay and forage. The remainder, representing 13.4 per cent of the to- tal value, consisted mostly of pota- toes and other vegetables and of for- est products. The total value -of crops in 1909 was 67.2 per cent greater than in 1899. This increase was clearly due to higher prices. There was a de- crease of 2.6 per cent in the acreage of crops for which acreage was re- ported, the decrease in the acreage of cereals being more than 1,000,000 acres while there was increases in the acreage of hay and forage and of vegetables. Vegetables. In 1909 the total acreage of pota- toes and other vegetables was 269,713 and their value $11,044,391. Ex- cluding potatoes and sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of vegetables was 46,021 and their value $3,359,- 000, both acreage and value being materially greater than in 1899. The census distinguishes between farms which make the raising of vegetables a business of some importance (hav- ing produced vegetables valued at $500 or more in 1909) and other farms, on most of which vegetables are raised mainly for home con- sumption. There were in 1909, 594 farms in the first class, representing only a very small proportion af all the farms that reported vegetables but containing about one-ninth of the total acreage of vegetables and pro- ducing nearly one-fifth of the total value, the average acreage of vege- tables per farm for these farms being 8.7 and the average value of pro- duct per acre $118.36. Small Fruits. Strawberries are by far the most important of the small fruits raised in Minnesota, with raspberries and loganberries ranking next in import- ance. The value of the strawberry crop in 1909 was $268,772; of rasp- berries and loganberries, $178,689. The total acreage of small fruits in 1909 was 3,738, and in 1899, 3,092, an increase of 20.9 per cent. The production was 4,477,000 quarts in 1909 as compared with 4,543,000 quarts in 1899, and the value $493,- 000 as compared with $340,000. Orchard Fruits, Grapes, and Nuts, . The total quantity of orchard fruits produced in 1909 was 1,067,000 bush- els, valued at $801,000. Apples con- tributed 97.9 per cent of this quan- tity, plums and prunes most of the remainder, The production of grapes in 1909 amounted to 294,000 pounds, valued at $11,021, and that of nuts to 81,5655 pounds, valued at $1,838. The production of all orchard fruits together in 1909 was about seven and one-half times that of 1899, while that of grapes declined. The value of orchard fruits increased from $109,000 in 1899 to $801,000 in 1909, while that of grapes declined from $15,693 in 1899 to $11,021 in 1909. It should be noted that the values for 1899 include the value of more advanced products, derived from orchard fruits or grapes, such as cider, vinegar, dried fruits, and the like, and may therefore involve some duplication, while the values shown for 1909 relate only to the products in their original condition.

Crookston, Jan. 11.—The great in- terest that is being taken in dairying and in poultry raising in Northern Minnesota shows that they are pro- fitable enterprises.

How can I tell a good cow when I see one? Several of the best dairying special- ists in the state will be at the farm- ers’ short course, Agricultural sehool, Crookston, Feb. 10-21, 1913, to dis- cuss these problems. Mr. Scribner, of the United States department of agriculture; Mr. Nelson, of state dairymen’s association; Mr. Sargent, of the agricultural school; and others wiil give their experience.
