DAIRY PRODUCTS creased Butter and Milk ’ Production Burleigh county is rapidly forging to the front as a dairying section and | if the growth during the past year is sustained it may lead the state in the yalue of its dairy products in a few years. During the year from July 1, 1918 to July 1, 1919, Burleigh county sald 451,056 pounds of butter fat which was valued at. $240,328, an average price of 2 cents per: pound. The average price of the entire state, according to the figures of J. J. Osterhous, state dairy commissioner just published, was 52.2 cents a pound, or one cent less than the price secured in this county. The butterfat scld during that per- iod was 29.4 percent of the entire value of the county’s dairy products which amounted to $817,481. This value is an increase of 51 percent money value over the preceding yearly per- iod which is believed to be one of the largest gains in the state. Burleigh. county ranked twenty- third in dairy produce per section, but based on the total value of the dairy products, Burleigh _ county ranked tenth. Inasmuch as there are huge | stretches of land adiirably suitable for dairying and as a large percent of farmers in this county are devoting more time and interest to dairying than heretofore, it is believed Burleigh will rank: much higher for the present periqd. The report concludes with the state- in the county per section was $497.92. or practically equivalent to one cow per section. Commissioner Osterhous recommends ten ,dairy cattle to the section and County Agent Ge rmers in this county are rapidly approaching 3920 report is issued that Burleigh’s dairy products will be’ considerably larger. than the report just completed.
