CALIFORNIA DAIRY RECORD.
Golden State Produced About Five
Millions Pounds OF Products.

Millions Pounds OF Products.
The California state dairy bureau
has issued table showing that the
states output of dairying products
up to September 80, 1907, amounted
to 44,599,21l pounds, which is an in
crease of about $4,000 pounds over
the previous year. says the Pacific
Homestead. The report is based on
written statements compiled by the
creameries and other producers, but
while a new production mark is set
It is a gain OF but half or per cent
over 1905. e.
The comparison Of the report by
counties shows that some of the coun-
ties in the new dairy districts gained
as high as 80 per cent, while others
in the old districts suffered loss.
Stanislaus county increased its pro-
duction over the preceding year from
2,759.5S2 pounds to S.615,469 pounds,
other interior counties which show
large gains are Tulare, Kings, Fres-
no and San Diego, though the gain
of the latter belongs principally to
Imperial county which was PARTITION
ed from II during the year.
Among the counties which have re-
trograded during the year are Sacra-
mento. Yolo. Orange and Mendocno,
due in part to the flooding of re-
claimed lands last year and to the
difficulty Of obtaining labor,
The relative positions of the lead
ing counties remain practically with
out change, with Humboldt in the
lead and Marin, Sonoma, Stanlslaus,
Fresno, Tulare and Merced in the
order named.
