As previously pointed out, very
little of this oleomargarine is sold
Iowa, the number of licensed dealers
being usually about dozen and
their trade very small and carried
on in strict accordance with the Iowa
statute, but whatever oleomargarine
is made goes into competition at
once with Iowa butter and displaces
an equivalent amount of butter in
this country. The diary people of this
state are therefore vitality interested
in the enforcement of oleomargarine
laws. They should take notice that
the manufacturers Of oleomargarine
are now urging the sale of uncolored
oleomargarine on its merits as a
proper cheap food product. They
should further take notice that cleo
margarine does not compete in any
sense whatever with fancy, high
class butter. That it is an increas-
ly strong competitor of that butter
which, by reason of its poor quality,
must be sold for relatively low
price, and the oleomargarine will be
very much favored by a continued
production Of large percentage Of
poor quality butter.
During the year over 9O,OO0,OOO
pounds of butter were made in Iowa.
Vi this 24,l49,774 pounds were
made in nineteen counties, not count
ing any under 100000 capacity.
The creameries have learned the
economy Of manufacturing rests in
making more than 100000 pounds.
There has been an increase in the
smaller centralizing creameries,
therefore.
The average production is increas-
ing. In 1903 it was 81, 600 pounds;
in 1904, 10000 and in 1905, 49,
600.
There has been an increase OF
S223 per year in the wages Of but
ter makers as compared with FIVE
years ago. The average is $50. a
month but 500 is the usual wage,
The price of butter was at an av.
erage OF 29.75 cents during the year
This means $20,00O,OOO to the but.
Ter producers Of the state during
1906.
A progressive spirit for new
creamery bindings is being mani.
tested all over Iowa. The drainage
problem is the most serious one con.
fronting the industry in Iowa.
In the year 1913 permits to milk
dealers were issued Few cases O
adulterated milk were found during
the year.

The report Of the commissioner
discloses that the condition of the
dairy industry in this state has new
er been better than it is at present,
and the prospects for further i'm
provement and increases are very
bright. The disturbing factors of
competition with creameries of the
new kind and the uncertainty of the
effects Of new methods of doing bus
mess seem to have become qnite well
understood. and there is a feeling Of
certainty and stability on the part Of
managers of both the small cream
cries and the larger ones. The num-
Der Of creameries that have closed
this year is very small. This fact
is significant, when it is remember
ed that more than $50 creameries

The same feeling of the perman-
ance of the industry is found among
the producers of milk and cream in
every section Of the state and the
outlook is good for continued in
creases in number Of dairymen, in
the size of their herds in the per
capita production, as we'll as for con-
tlnued prosperity on the part of the
manufacturer of the butter.
For good many years, the farm
ers of this state have almost unani-
mously used the short horn COW in
their dairy herds, and they lave
nothing to regret for having done so
under the existing conditions. There
has, however, lately been consid-
cradle demand for dairy breeds Of
cattle, particularly of the larger
breeds. This Office has had good
many inquiries as to where grade
dairy cows might be purchased in
car load lots. The same kind of in
quiries come in large numbers to the
professors at Ames, and, Of course it
is impossible to secure Holsteins,
Jerseys, Guernseys, or other dairy
cattle in large quantities in any one
place in this state. A very large
number of our diarymen are pur-
chasing Holstein sires and starting
dairy herds.

production of oleomargarine in the
United State for the last five years:
